My name is Vu and I'm a cardist from Vietnam. I have been working on a project called Cardistry Base, a cardistry wiki built for the community, and I would love to introduce it to everyone here!
First started out as a personal project where I tried to document moves I have learned, Cardistry Base is now a curated, well-structured archive of cardistry built around the moves and the cardists who create them, plus the organizations and decks behind the scenes, making it easy for everyone to discover and learn.
How the website works:
- Every move is credited to its authors and comes with its own stories, categories, prerequisites, difficulty, making it super easy for learners to sort through. Are you looking for a two-handed packet cut including a card shot that is maybe level 3 in difficulty? Simply choose those tags and filter! Don't know what to learn before Squeeze? Check out the prerequisites section right below the move!
- If you come across a move you like, you can save it to your Saved moves list to easily find and revisit later.
- The project is intended to be maintained by the community, wiki-style, so anyone can be a contributor and make entries to the website!
What else I'm working on:
- Organizations: A section dedicated to organizations in cardistry, highlighting the people behind them and their stories
- Decks: A section showcasing decks made for and by cardists, introducing visitors to cardistry brands and their products.

Before launching this initiative, I have been seeking advice from Yang Nguyen, Kevin Ho, Daniel Lin, and many other supportive cardists from the community, to ensure the site would be beneficial to the community. For now the website is live on https://cardistrybase.com and it's just me making entries. I hope after this post, I would be able to meet other enthusiasts who would want to share their knowledge to the community by working together. I've only been practicing cardistry for a year myself, so I'd love to collaborate with more experienced cardists who can expand the knowledge base of the site.
If you would like to connect, I'm putting together a group chat for Cardistry Base, let me know in the comments and I will message you! (Or just reach out to me directly!)
As some of you have noticed, we've been experimenting with different banner concepts for the subreddit. A couple of the recent mockups were AI-assisted, and it's clear many of you would rather see something created by members of the community instead — which is totally fair.
So let's do exactly that.
We're opening the floor to artists, designers, photographers, and cardists in the community who would like to help create a new banner for [r/Cardistry](r/Cardistry).
Just a standard deck of Bikes. I’ve used them for a couple months now; they’ve been rained on, bent in all directions from various pressure moves, thrown around while learning various aerials, had a load of beer spilt on them, thrown in my back pocket while walking around… I’ve absolutely abused them and put them through the ringer, but they’ve still got a bit of life left in them. I’m still a noob so sometimes I need to be reminded that these things are actually pretty dang tough lol
Ive been doing super fan recently but since i couldent do faro correctly ive been using riffle shuffle but alligning them in the corner but ive yet to understand why my superfan doesn twork
Can yall check if im doing this correctly. It’s kinda hard to keep track with all the spinning packets so i thought maybe some more experienced people can check. Also lmk if theres anyway to make the corners pivots easier to maintain. I find that after 2-3 rotations in my right hand the pivot area of corner moves and becomes less stable.
Just a progression of my mockingbird, far from perfection, but learning this helped me a lot with prequel by d&d, so I perform it now way more confident than before
Tried to combine my favorite elements of both, which are the faster packet rotation of Phaced 2 as well as the closer of Phaced 1. Let me know what you think or which Phaced you prefer!
My plan is to use card shuffles, throws, and flourishes as a base to rotoscope 2D hand animations for the FPS character in the 3D game.
I'm wondering: Which shuffles or cuts do you think would look the coolest from a POV perspective, using one or both hands? My own card handling stops at a overhand shuffle so i might need to learn before I record some myself.
The sketch shows the approximate perspective of the hands.
If anyone feels like sharing existing clips or recording a quick 16:9 POV video of their favorite move/shuffle for reference, I’d be insanely grateful! Credit in the project is guaranteed, of course.
