How to Shuffle and Cut a Deck of Card (using one hand)

Okay, welcome back to the search and fancy challenge, now I am going to show you how to do the one-handed cut. It looks pretty cool and it is not that hard to do. Okay, position the cards like this, from first finger to little finger and there are two here to keep the cards all in a safe place. Now what you are going to do is this, with your thumb, you are going to drop down the bottom section and help them flop down the bottom section, you release the pressure slightly on this two fingers, so you drop down with your thumb, the bottom section. The thumb holds the rest up and now, this little finger here, the index finger, the first finger, pushes the pile underneath upwards towards your thumb. Now, when it gets to this point, you are going to let go with your thumb grip and this little finger and these two here will keep the cards in a steady position. Now, you slowly move your finger underneath the cards which is here out of the way, and the cards fall down on top. Now when you do it normal speed, it looks something like this. I will do it again for you with speed. Now, when you are going to start, once again, remember this is a challenge. You are going to drop the cards down. If you notice, the cards are slightly angled, slightly down are what they help you, if I drop the cards down again slowly, this figure come up. I am moving a portion away and it slides down neatly and all the clubs are grouped together. This is called the one-handed cut and I will show it one last time, normal speed, okay, normal speed. Do it nice and slowly, get a nice firm grip, the way it is gripped here as you can see, drop down the lower portion, finger pushes the portion up, top portion drops down, it is like a sandwich, it all closes nice and neat together. That my friend is called, the one-handed cut.
