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.

Discovered the move on a video call with Duy & Hung. When Hung randomly said something along the lines of I wish I could spin two cards in one hand. I attempted it and figured out the core mechanics within minutes. Simultaneously felt very blessed to have discovered it and cursed to be obligated to perfect it. I also blame Shiv for pushing me to do the move with packets. Wasted a lot of my time on this detour. As a result, I still have not built an iso routine around Double Barrel. - Daniel Lin

Originally, the Charlier Cut was developed as a secret maneuver for controlling cards (known as the Charlier Pass). Today, it is primarily performed as a visual display of skill (a flourish) or used to openly control cards.

Basic GripsLV 1
Unattributed Cardistry

In cardistry, "grips" refer to the specific, standardized ways of holding and balancing a deck of playing cards in your hand. They act as the foundational starting positions for virtually all flourishes, cuts, fans, and aerials. The way you hold the cards determines your control and the move you can transition into.
