Beginner's Guide

INTRO

Welcome to the world of cardistry! This guide will quickly answer some questions so you can jump straight into learning. You DO NOT have to follow this guide to a tee, but it’ll help you down the line :)

  1. Cardistry isn’t easy but it’s extremely rewarding when you nail it. Take breaks, try other moves, and come back to older moves if you feel frustrated.
  2. Any deck will work, but we recommend cheap Bicycle standard decks (~ $3) as you will often break down your cards fast early on.
  3. Practice is often the best way to improve.
  4. Your hands are NOT too small. There are plenty of people with small hands out there, so keep at it!
  5. Don’t worry about creating moves or claiming originality just yet. Have fun and learn the basics of moves without feeling like you *have* to make something out of it.
