One-Handed Spring is a niche variation of the Spring. Its mechanics are similar to those of the traditional Spring, but the challenge lies in thumb placement. The thumb must be positioned precisely to allow the remaining cards to release smoothly, as they tend to catch against the fleshy pad of the thumb.
One-Handed Shuffle is a technique of shuffling cards using a faro-style interlace performed with a single hand. The ring finger or little finger is often used to stabilize the packets in the meeting corners.
Running Scissor Cut, also known as a One-Handed Overhand Shuffle, is a continuation of the Scissor Cut that systematically strips off smaller packets from the main bottom packet. References Dan & Dave discussing this move (5:06-7:54) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m0mjWI7m1Y
One-Handed Table Shuffle is a technique that combines elements of both riffle and faro shuffling. Two aligned halves of the deck are placed close together at an angle. The index finger is then positioned at the point where the corners meet, lifting the packets upward while the remaining fingers press them together from the sides, allowing the cards to interlace.
Ribbon Spread, sometimes called Table Spread, is a popular cardistry flourish and magic technique where a deck of cards is smoothly laid out in a long, overlapping line or wave across a flat surface. The move often ends with a turnover made by tracing across the deck using either a finger or a card or by lifting the first cards and pressing on them, turning over the subsequent cards. It is recommended to bevel the deck before spreading.
The Index Push Off is an easy, not so beginner friendly, One-Handed one card extension. It is fundamental for lots of flourishes and should be learned close to the start of one's cardistry Journey.
A thumb cut is a simple one-handed cardistry cut where the thumb lifts or pushes a packet of cards away from the deck, separating it from the main packet. The packet is then moved, rotated, or dropped back to complete the cut. This is one of the moves that is most affected by your hand size. If you are having trouble pulling this move off, try doing it with 3/4 of the deck.
A cool way to flip a deck with style.
Charlier Triangle, also known as the Triple Charlier or Delta (not to be confused with the two handed false cut Delta), consists of creating a triangle in one hand. This can be done with the other hand at the same time to create a visually interesting pattern.
Classic one handed fan that results in two layers, seemingly fanning out of nowhere.
The Scissor Cut is a fundamental one-handed cut in which the deck is divided into two packets and opened outward like a pair of scissors. The move is a building block for many classic two-handed packet cuts like Squeeze by Daren Yeow or Barolo 2 by Nikolaj Pedersen.
