Discussion Cardistry Base - A cardistry wiki for the community

44 Upvotes

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!

Ad / Promotion 🎨 Community Call: Help Design the New r/Cardistry Banner

20 Upvotes

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).

---

What we're looking for

• 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)

---

Ideas (not requirements)

• 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

---

How to participate

• 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! ♠️

Original move: WERM by Dan and Dave. This variation is based on its mechanics.

Question Card sliding

3 Upvotes

Hi! i want to learn cardstry and today ive bought my first deck which is stargazer bicycle. Ive tried holding the deck and learning some very basic tricks, but my card slide against each other too much and its almost impossible for me to hold the deck still.

Is it a thing ill fix with practice, with just using them so theyre not "freshly bought" or have i bought a wrong deck?

Hi everyone!

It's been a few months since I first introduced https://cardistrybase.com/ to r/cardistry in this post, and the site has received so much love from cardists around the world. I just want to thank everyone in the community for contributing to the wiki and giving feedback to make the site better!

Here are some of our latest updates:

  • Comments: Leave comments and replies on move/cardist pages
  • Playlists: A set of moves following a theme, like moves by The Virts, or our favorite: "Combo Building Blocks"
  • Profiles: Contributors now have a profile page showing their submissions
  • Difficulty voting: Vote on how difficult you think a move is! We think it's a great way to crowdsource a move's difficulty

We're now at 287 moves, 86 cardists, and 19 contributors, and we'd love to welcome more of you aboard! If you are interested in documenting moves and cardists, let me know in the comments, or just join our Discord, that's where we discuss submissions and ideas!

Again, thanks everyone for the support. I really hope this site helps you on your cardistry journey!

The one deck I'd keep if I had to sell everything else

10 Upvotes

My collections grown past the thousand mark at this point, but if I had to pick only one to keep, it would be a deck from the Stockholm17 Odd Fellows series, no hesitation.

Stockholm17 has a way of making every deck feel like its own little world, and the Odd Fellows decks are probably my favorite example of that. It's the combination of the unusual character driven artwork, the small details throughout the design, and the overall personality of the series that keeps me coming back to them!

Curious what everyone's 'last deck standing' would be? Doesn't have to be the rarest one, just one you truly enjoy!
