What is Cardistry?
Cardistry is the performance art of card flourishing, where a normal deck of playing cards is manipulated with cuts, pivots, spins, twirls, and other creative movements to create beautiful displays and visuals.
What will you learn in this course?
You will be learning nine basic moves that every person starting Cardistry should know. Some of the moves are easy and others are a bit more challenging. The Moves you will learn are from various categories in Cardistry and look very impressive and are fun to practice. You do not need any experience with handling or shuffling a deck of cards as I will be breaking down each move into simple, easy to learn steps.
What will you need to begin?
The only thing you will need to start is a regular deck of cards. However, I highly recommend brands such as Bicycle, Bee, Tally ho, or any other brand by the United States Playing Card Company as they are the best quality.
