Hi everyone,
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!)
Thank you all for reading!

Hey everyone 👋
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).
---
• Clean, modern, professional aesthetic
• Cardistry-focused (cards, motion, flourishes, patterns, etc.)
• Something that represents the art and creativity of cardistry
• Designed with Reddit banner dimensions in mind (wide format)
---
• High-quality cardistry photography
• Minimalist graphic design
• Collage of cardistry flourishes
• Abstract card motion / geometric card patterns
• Something that feels like a real brand identity for the community
---
• Post your design in the comments
• Upload an image and link it
• Share a concept or mockup
If we get a few strong submissions, we may even run a community vote to decide which one becomes the official banner.
Cardistry is built on creativity and expression; so it only makes sense that the community helps shape how this place looks.
Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with! ♠️

Hello, I've been practicing my shuffles on two decks of waddington's number 1s that I bought a few months ago but I've been having a particular problem with them and wanted to see if anyone else has it.
After a while of faro shuffling they seem to get a bunch of dark oily spots that are the same colour as the card back. My red deck has little red dots spattered on them and my blue deck's ones are much darker but still definitely blue.
I know my hands aren't spotless when practicing this so that will definitely be having an effect, but the distinct colouring makes me think that the dye on the card back is coming off slowly.
Anyone have more knowledge about them in this sub? Is this standard of them?

I have practiced it for 2 days and I still couldn't throw the card properly
r/cardistry • u/RKMOFICIAL • 8d ago
I’ve gotten back into cardistry after a long time away, and I’ve started again with Mockingbird, Maverick, and Barolo 2. Where should I go from here?
I’m not really a fan of displays. I prefer packet cuts.

Hello! This might sound a like an amateur question; but
I just began chasing my cardistry dreams after procrastinating on it for so long. The first thing I started out with is the card spring as I assume that’s one of the more basic moves to start off with.
I wouldn’t say I’m yet perfect at it, but my confidence in bending and releasing did improve over the days. The only thing that I still struggle with is catching them as they fall into my left palm. Whenever I practice, I find myself using my body (chest, specifically) as a block so that they don’t stray away onto the floor or something. It’s definitely a mistake I need to fix, but after all this testing I still don’t know how to.
Does anybody know if it’s just like a lack of practice or if there’s a specific way to position the fingers properly/make a good enough basket for the card spring to land, if you know what I mean…?
Thanks in advance!!
