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.
A shuffle where two packets are held separately and their inner corners are released so the cards interlace together, usually followed by pushing or bridging the packets into one deck.
Spring is a fundamental cardistry technique where cards are released into the air in a controlled burst, used by both cardists and magicians. It relies on diagonal pressure built within the deck and released through the thumb. The move is widely used due to its high level of control, its versatility in use (it's required for e.g. LePaul Spread, Pressure Fan, Under Pressure Fan, and Antifaro), and its relatively low difficulty.
Under Pressure, is a unique display that looks initially like a Pressure Fan, but reveals to be a fast display of cards. This move is great for showcasing the art on each card, front or back. It is generally advised to do this move on the opposite side, in order to avoid excessive card bending.
