Thumb Cut
Thumb CutLV 2
Unattributed Cardistry

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.

Tunnel Shuffle
Tunnel ShuffleLV 3
Unattributed Cardistry

The Tunnel Shuffle is an eye-catching shuffle based on a faro interlace, finished with a long bridge that resembles a tunnel-like structure. After the cards are interlaced, they are typically spread over the knee, then bent in a controlled way similar to a riffle bridge, creating a smooth, arched tunnel effect.
