A beautiful one-handed fan. Can also be done with both hands.
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.
Giant Fan is a variation of the thumb fan that uses interlaced cards to create a larger fan. A popular variation is to significantly rotate the top packet inward before performing the fan.

Pressure Fan is known as one of the most satisfying fans in all of cardistry. You put pressure on the right part of the deck and then continue to fan out the cards entirely, creating a semicircle. The cards are released by the fingers at the corner of the deck.
Side Pressure Fan is a rare pressure-based alternative to the Thumb Fan. The cards are spread by applying pressure to their short edges, using a technique inspired by the LePaul Spread.
Classic one handed fan that results in two layers, seemingly fanning out of nowhere.
Indice Fan is a simple one-handed fan in which the cards are spread primarily using the index finger. It begins from a dealer grip, with the index finger curled underneath the deck. The cards are spread with a single fluid motion by extending the index finger while applying pressure to the deck with the index finger and thumb. For a more even spread, the remaining fingers can also push the rest of the cards during this stage.
