A thumb fan is a classic card flourish and magic technique used to spread a deck of playing cards into an even, beautiful semi-circle. It is used by magicians to let spectators select a card, and by cardists as a visual display of skill.
Originally, the Charlier Cut was developed as a secret maneuver for controlling cards (known as the Charlier Pass). Today, it is primarily performed as a visual display of skill (a flourish) or used to openly control cards.

Cascade is one of the classic card drops. Interlaced cards are released freely, creating a waterfall-like effect, known as a cascade. For smoother performance, newer decks are recommended.
