A fan which almost "magicly" fans its self, through pressure applied to the cards. You can also do it with lots of things, like your chin, your feet, the table corner
Indice Fan is a simple one-handed fan in which the cards are spread primarily using the index finger. It begins from a dealer grip, with the index finger curled underneath the deck. The cards are spread with a single fluid motion by extending the index finger while applying pressure to the deck with the index finger and thumb. For a more even spread, the remaining fingers can also push the rest of the cards during this stage.

Vad Fan is a fan which creates two fans simultaneously with the cards sliding on the thumb and middle finger of the opposite hand. Mechanics To prepare for the Vad Fan, the cards are interlaced using a Faro Shuffle and the packets are arranged in an inverted "V" shape, similarly to a Cascade. The packets are typically held at an angle between 90 and 180 degrees. For people with smaller hands, it is also acceptable to reduce the angle slightly below 90 degrees or slide the cards slightly inward. The little finger is then placed on the short edge, while the ring finger and thumb grip the outermost corners. The middle and index fingers may rest along the long edge. The cards are gradually compressed while being supported by the thumbnail and the index or middle fingernail of the opposite hand in the lower central area of the cards. The pressure is then slowly released, forming two fans at the same time. No established ending for the move has been developed yet. History Karlsson first published the move in a cardists' meetup video titled Cha-cha-cha on his YouTube channel. He officially presented the move at the second Cardistry-Con on April 10, 2015.

Side Pressure Fan is a rare pressure-based alternative to the Thumb Fan. The cards are spread by applying pressure to their short edges, using a technique inspired by the LePaul Spread.

Prestige Isolation is a simple isolation flourish that combines a fan with a single isolated card. The move traditionally begins with a fan created using the Side Pressure Fan technique, although a similar final effect can also be achieved with other fans, such as the Thumb Fan. A single card is then extracted from the fan and rotated in the style of the Rotation Isolation. The creator named the move after The Prestige (2006), drawing inspiration from the film's theme of magic.

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 So far, only one variation is known: A fully one-handed version, including the interlacing and tensioning of the cards. References Nanh Kiem, https://www.instagram.com/p/BVXNG82gt4n/

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

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

Under Pressure is a fan flourish in which the cards flow smoothly from one hand to the other, creating a graceful wave-like motion. The cards are spread in the same way as in a Pressure Fan. However, once the fan reaches an angle of approximately 45–90 degrees, the deck is no longer rotated. Instead, pressure is continuously applied while the cards are gradually released from the fingers at the corner, allowing them to flow smoothly into the non-dominant hand, which gathers the returning cards.

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, creating a semicircle. The cards are released by the fingers at the corner of the deck.

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