Tabled Running Cuts | Card Handling

Are you ready to elevate your card game to the next level? In this video, I'll show you the mesmerizing technique of running cuts, a fantastic way to mix cards like a pro. But beware, mastering this skill will take time and practice, so buckle up and get ready for a wild ride!

The Magic Behind Running Cuts

First things first, you need to set the stage for success. Find yourself a soft surface with just the right amount of cushion to make picking up the deck a breeze. Now, grab hold of the deck with your right hand - thumb at the back, middle finger and ring finger at the outer edges. Lift it off the table with finesse and grace.

Next comes the fun part. With your left hand, approach the deck and peel off a small batch of cards, around 10 or so. Use your middle finger at the outer edge and thumb at the inner edge to smoothly drop them onto the table. Remember, flat is where it's at - no messy angles here!

Adding Flair to Your Moves

Now, here's where we kick it up a notch. Instead of just repeating the same old motions, introduce a counterclockwise circular motion after each packet peel-off. This simple addition not only looks slick but also adds an extra layer of finesse to your performance.

As you continue this mesmerizing dance of card manipulation, remember to keep it smooth and steady. Each packet peel-off followed by a graceful circular motion until you reach the final few cards. Slap them on top with confidence and square up like a true magician.

The Final Flourish

To wrap it all up in style, use your thumb at the back and fingers at the side edges to pinch and square up the deck. A slightly messy deck is no match for your expert hands - bring order and precision back with a simple yet elegant move.

And there you have it - running cuts in all their glory! A captivating way to mix cards that will leave your audience in awe. So go ahead, practice till perfection, and dazzle everyone with your newfound cardistry skills.

Until next time, keep shuffling and stay magical! Bye for now!
