It’s crazy. I just practiced this nonstop for about two hours while I was watching a movie and by the time it was over I could do it. I can’t explain it. Cards are cool and weird man. The more you hold them and touch them the more they start to do things for you. Strange and magical little pieces of paper.
VirtualWoodshed this is such a weird paragraph. Part of me wants to say “what the heck, yes that’s how practicing anything works, no duh” but since I’ve actually been practicing cardistry I understand what you mean. It’s like, your fingers are used to moving a certain way and because the cards don’t change too much your hands just learn how to move with the cards. It’s so obvious from a scientific point of view but when it’s actually happening to you it’s an amazing thing that words can’t capture entirely.
Ellusionist Hey! Thanks for this awesome tutorial, I a,ways enjoy watching this channel, and Chris.. I've been searching for a tutorial that explain the card fan in great detail, but I still have t come across one that helps me overcome my issue.. When I spread the cards, the first half is perfect, but the second half I can never get to spread properly.. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your tutorials. I’m 45 and was assaulted 5 years ago and sustained a brain injury. I’ve just got my hands on a good deck and this will help me get my fine motor skills back. Be good to see how I am in a year from now.
Awesome Video man. Quick question how do you make such perfect gaps, cause ive been doin fans for years now and it still not as good as urs. And yeah I am using brand new Bicycle rider deck
I have a two year old daughter I like to practice my magic with and this is by far her favorite thing that I can do with cards. Thanks for helping me make her even more excited about my fanning skills lol
This is definitely one of the better tutotials for this. I've been struggling with finger position, and right now I'm still either making a messy fan or playing 52 pickup, but I feel like I'm closer. Time and practice will tell.
YOOOOO!!! I have been practising this since past 20 days and now all of a sudden i just did like 75% like outt nowhere. It just happened by itself lol, i am so psyched rn. Thanks for the tutorial chris.
For anyone else having this issue, I found that if you put the deck against your knuckle bone instead of the meat of your hand - it stops getting caught by your palm
im a beginner and just realized i have smaller hands and using the one of the cheapest decks ive ever held. the cards in jail were of better quality. even though im discouraged im still trying. thanks for your wealth of info. please dont stop making videos
Practice is essential. Even if the cards aren't great, you can still learn. Remember, card magic was mostly practiced with cards that were just thick paper.
I really like his teaching style. he goes over it plenty of times and in different speeds. really helps me learn. I have ADD and Chris just has a way about him that makes me pay attention. keep him around yo. love both y'alls channels
Ellusionist I watched at least 100 shots of how to make a fan out of cards and no one could explain to me how to make a fan out of cards. ALL THE MERITS GO TO YOU (thank you)
I watched your comparison video between the virtuoso's and the bicycle cards and got inspired to try out cardistry! I got some decks from your site and I'e already learned a couple of tricks, and I hope to improve.
Again Chris, You are best at teaching these "simple" cardistry tricks like this! Just the best! I love these "easier" tricks because I am a beginner! Thanks so so much and keep up the great work!
chris thank you so much for helping me with my card tricks its hard for me to do springs cause i have a broken arm but its okay i love what you do much love and respect Chris keep doing what your doing
Hey Chris and team ellusionists. I watched Chris video about some match magic tricks and there you asked, whether we have subscribed to the ellusionists channel. I thought I had not but then I noticed that I am all ready a subscriber for about a Year. That's probably because I needed to rest my magic training for the stressful college time. But now I want to get more into it and just want to say thank you for the opportunity team ellusionists give me and help me to improve my skills. So thanks a lot and have a nice day. :)
The most important part of the fan is the left hand pressure - and he says very little about it. It's all about his index finger. So hard to find someone who actually knows how to teach.
You can create more space for the cards by starting with curled fingers and extending them as you spread the fan, and also you can adjust the pressure of the fanning to create a tighter fan (so less of each card is showing) and that will give more room for the final cards.
Just discovered these tutorials!!! Thank you Chris Ramsey for the clear instructions and awesome tutorials!!! I'm starting to really look like I know my way around a deck of cards! 😁
Jimi Villanueva Get a new deck, maybe yours are rugged already.. i have small hands, learnt this fan by just 5 hours, my tip is : I tried spreading cards on a mat, (using right hand, muscle memory for spreading), then adding left hand, but still fanning like spreading on mat. youll get the gist of it, faster than trying straight on point fanning.
Just came from Chris Ramsey's giveaway. By the way no one ever thought me how to fan, I hope future generations watch this video and don't have to spend hours troubleshooting in their bedroom like I did.
My hands aren't big enough for the grip, it's a shame because I really wanna be able to fan cards and this looks like such a good tutorial. Love you Ellusionist and Chris
Just a little pointer referring to when you talked about the gap, and said that you may have some grease on them. You more than likely do have grease or hand sweat if it's a very used deck of cards. A little tip I've picked up along the way. If you'd like to keep using your used deck, can't buy a new deck, or whatever the reason may be. Take the cards and spread them out on a table and sprinkle baby powder on them, on both sides. You don't need a ton, not cups of powder! Just a sprinkling! Then just shake them a little, shuffle them a few times and you can get more use out of that deck, and they won't be as sticky ,especially if that is your practice deck. I don't know how this would affect an expensive deck of cards, so I'm not recommending that , but for a cheap generic set of "practice" cards that you're learning with, this will give them some more life and make them less tacky to use. Hope this helps
Great tutorial buddy. I also love that you left the cards falling to the ground in the video. Anyone who practices cardistry knows, it just happens. "So he is human! " lol.

VirtualWoodshed amazing. I love the cardistry community :)
But I wouldn't do that in a movie XD

How 'bout makin a video on how you got your tatoos? lookin slick ;)
2:24 my fan every time. Good tutorial
Fr, ive been to so many videos and websites, and it all sucks at explaining how to do it
Me too
@@jud3toxic777 the same happened to me and i bought a new deck of cards and it worked......if u still cant do it just practice
@@professionalsmg9246 i got a new deck if cards and its better but still sucks
Me 2
Theres something somewhat comforting about learning from someone who still makes mistakes themselves ^^
Thank you for keeping all of the mistakes in. It is comforting to see that even a pro can have moments like those of us just starting out.
I didn't think this basic trick of cardistry would be so difficult but here I am on RUclips trying to learn. Very humbling.
me at 4:50am on a school night learning how to fan cards like a magician when I don't have a pack of hards.
Life is great.

I found cardistry and puzzles late in life. Thank goodness. And I realized right away; Keep my eye on Chris! Love you man!

Can we make dammit gravity a thing?
#dammitgravity
It'd make a good t-shirt
This is an incredible skill and I know it takes longer than a couple hours of trying but I don’t think I can make it look like yours.
when will we learn how to fan cards like a muggle?
Ray Horgan “yer a con artist Harry”
Thank u, ur the easiest teacher to follow!
The first card fan tuturial that actually was useful to me. Thank you!😏👌
Card flourishing is so satisfying
Lol his sample flourish at the end is me trying really hard XD
chris thank you so much for helping me with my card tricks its hard for me to do springs cause i have a broken arm but its okay i love what you do much love and respect Chris keep doing what your doing
Gravity doesn't exist. Only Chuck Norris decides what falls to the ground
you made me win the talent show at my school i did all your card tricks thank you
Nice work!
Thank you
I love your channel
It’s awesome you are really good at magic
Way too difficult my cards keep flying. What lvl of card trick is this, like maximum?
Just takes practice!
This is like minimum, like illusionist said it takes practice. Magic takes time to learn. I'm 15 years old and do 5 years magic with cards

I believe gravity is the original creator for 52 card pick that we all love!
I have so much fun fanning the deck
The most important part of the fan is the left hand pressure - and he says very little about it. It's all about his index finger. So hard to find someone who actually knows how to teach.
agree
Love the cards drop, it helps to restore people's faith that they can get better thru practice also your reactions are funny.
My cards keep sticking into one big packet at the end (15-20 cards stuck)
You can create more space for the cards by starting with curled fingers and extending them as you spread the fan, and also you can adjust the pressure of the fanning to create a tighter fan (so less of each card is showing) and that will give more room for the final cards.
Had a dream you guys sent me some decks, but it was a DREAM!!! Damn it !!!!
the last flourish is what i mastered mosst
Just awesome that you have so good tutorials for the main and important stuff for magicians! Big thanks Ellusionist your are the best!
Does being in a humid place affect the cards
yes
Yeah, it can make them get sticky sooner
I live in Florida, my cards have pretty much all fused into giant clumps... I think I need a new deck.
Just discovered these tutorials!!! Thank you Chris Ramsey for the clear instructions and awesome tutorials!!! I'm starting to really look like I know my way around a deck of cards! 😁
do you use plastic or normal cards?
Normal cards. Plastic cards are not good for fans or spreads.
Thanks this is the only tutorial that worked for me.
I now have an urge to get up in the Middle of the night and grab a deck of cards
thank you so much Chris!! Great series! Damn gravity didn't want to cooperate!
"sound effects not included"
Leaves video
As always.... excellent video, just like ALL YOUR OTHER ONES.
The closing part didn't help at all...Chris dropped it like 3 times and didn't explain it very clearly.
Thanks Chris for your tutorial that's very good way to do the fan...
Can we get a tutorial for sound effects?
After a long ass search, I have found you again!!! I fucking love magic!!!
I literally could never do this
i just wante to say thank you so much for this tutorial, and i love your memento mori playing cards!
Yeah, looks like there is no proper tutorial about how to do this. Just need to practice and that's all
Video is great, personality fun, explanation clear and to the point!
He's trying to mess up but he still does it right lol!
Thanks ellusionist for the deck that you gave to Chris to give back to his fans. Love it
mans was about to dab
I learned to do it after 5 hours but your on. A lnother level man
when I learned fanning the sounds were included
like for bad comment
Tomawesome 12 how did you get the sounds?
Tomawesome 12 do you have to get the premium fan bundle for sound
Do you mean fapping
"Probably what your fan looks like if you haven't practiced" 😂😂 yupp accurate
"Damnit gravity!"
"Then you proceed to...flourish" *fancy hand movements*
does anyone have tips for People with small hands
Start with the fingers slightly curled, and extend them as you fan the cards. This gives them more room to spread out.
thanks your great
Ellusionist doest seem to fan out evenly , I often leave chunks on either sides. Any tips?
Jimi Villanueva Get a new deck, maybe yours are rugged already.. i have small hands, learnt this fan by just 5 hours,

Get bigger hands
Just came from Chris Ramsey's giveaway. By the way no one ever thought me how to fan, I hope future generations watch this video and don't have to spend hours troubleshooting in their bedroom like I did.

am i the only one too notice the tattoo on his wrist
most tutorials I've watched put the thumb on the other corner, closest to the hand. does it make a difference?
This placement gives you more control than that.
This is kinda hard if you have small hands
Google Mahdi Gilbert
You're are great instructor chriss.. 👍👍
I just don t seem to get it
Keep practicing!
Did u get it
Thanks so much for this! I'm new to magic and could not get my fan to close with one hand. The gravity tip solved the issue.
Curse my small hands! I can't get the grip! :(
Jonathon Goulding every body blames small hands, but can you do the move now
Loved the flourish at the end lol.
End Of Video
*Me with cards on the floor all over the place*
"Ta da!"
I already knew how to make a fan but this made my fans look a lot better! Thank you Ellusionist!
Damnit gravity 🤣
I looked at several tutorials yours is the best bro
Tf is that on ur left arm 😂
Ok I'm left handed and it made a lot more sense to me once I started reversing which hand I used for which thing
Challie Aws I’m lefty too! You use your right hand to fan?
My hands are too small ;-;
Keep practicing.
NICE! Pretty and easy to learn. It really is the simple things that make the difference. Thanks!😀
