Riffle Fan is created by evenly spreading the cards into a circular fan while riffling them. The entire fan is balanced on the tip of the index fingernail or thumbnail, allowing the cards to slide and rotate around a central pivot. The main challenge is finding the right balance between gravity and support. Applying too much upward pressure prevents the cards from sliding smoothly, while too little causes the fan to collapse.

Super Fan is a fan in which interlaced cards slowly expand into a circular display under tension. Mechanics The cards are positioned similarly to a Cascade, forming a "V" shape. The interlaced section is supported with the other hand, while the thumb and middle finger grip the outer ends and bring them together. When the hand is moved away, the stored pressure causes the cards to rotate around pivot point, creating the characteristic fan. Variations Popular variations include: A fully one-handed version, including the interlacing and tensioning of the cards. A double Super Fan, where two fans are created simultaneously, with the cards sliding on the thumb and middle finger of the opposite hand.

Toss a card into the air and catch it in a fan! This move was originally posted with variations in 2007 around Christmas time.

Mary Jane is a combination of the Smear Fan and the Charlie Cut, and is the sixth flourish from Dan & Dave’s DVD The System. The deck is cut to execute a smear, then a packet on top of the fan is tossed off into the other hand.

The Cake Fan is a three-dimensional fan that spreads the cards both vertically and horizontally in the hands, creating a shape reminiscent of a slice of cake.

Carnahan is an iconic fan where the cards display in a half-circle around your index finger.

Giant Fan is a variation of the thumb fan that uses interlaced cards to create a larger fan. A popular variation is to significantly rotate the top packet inward before performing the fan.

The Donut Fan is a highly visual display flourish based on a thumb fan. The fan is thrown into the air, allowing the falling cards to land on the hands and form a large donut-like shape. There are two main variations: A standard thumb fan transformed into a donut shape, where the cards are loosely spread apart. An interlaced thumb fan that is expanded into a larger donut, creating a much tighter and more structured formation.

A beautiful one-handed fan. Can also be done with both hands.

Flower Fan is a striking fan that allows you to fan the cards around your hand, almost in a 360 degree fashion.

The Pressure Fan is known as one of the most satisfying fans in all of cardistry. You put pressure on the right part of the deck, and then continue to fan out the cards entirely.

Naoki Fan is an extension of the Smear Fan that reaches 360 degrees. A more difficult version is to make a fan with interlanced cards for greater results References Predator performing the variation on both hands (3:26-3:33) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhQHnAiPdqg
