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.
The Swing Cut is one of the best packet cuts to introduce to beginners in both cardistry and magic.
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. The move requires significant flexibility in the thumb muscles due to the need for an unusually wide thumb extension, creating space for the upper packet to drop.

Overhand Shuffle is one of the easiest and most common ways to shuffle a pack of cards. It's a great shuffle for magicians to use since lay people are already familiar with it, and because there are some great controls and false shuffles that can be done while shuffling the deck in this manner. The shuffle is commonly used in western countries. References The description above is adapted from the 52Kards video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0J_487VquE
Hindu Shuffle is a simple shuffle originating from Asia and is commonly used in many Eastern regions. It begins by taking a substantial portion of cards from the bottom of the deck with the dominant hand, then stripping off small packets into the other hand. Its mechanics are similar to the Strip Cut, with the key difference that it is performed entirely in the hands, without using a table or other surface.
Charlier Triangle, also known as the Triple Charlier, 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.
Triforce, also known as Russian Pyramid , is a pyramid-shaped display made of three closely connected triangles. Two building methods are commonly used: Using the long edges of the cards. Using the short edges of the cards, resulting in a taller structure.

Strip Cut, also known among dealers as the Box Cut, is a professional table shuffle used as an official part of the shuffling procedure in competitive card games such as poker tournaments. The move begins by lifting a substantial portion of the deck with the non-dominant hand, then systematically stripping off small packets onto a pile on the table.
