This is the best tutorial on the dribble I have seen. I've been doing magic/card sleights for 10 months now- practice every day after work-- but have bad tendinitis/arthritis in a couple fingers including my index-- But this method gives me the smoothest dribble-- still going to work on it!!! Always love to see you with a deck of cards in your masterful hands CR !!!
Thanks dude, I really struggled with the dribble but this tutorial helped me nail it the first time. Then it got clunky again but I feel like I‘m on the right way
A quick tip for folks doing the dribble the second way cause I had issues with this. Don't hold the deck with a deep grip. Use a shallow grip on the deck where the deck is just on your fingertips. This will prevent the cards from getting caught on your fingers as you try to release them during the dribble!
Hey man great video. Been watching some of your tutorials lately and I have to say from a beginners stand point you do make things easy to learn. Keep up the amazing performance.
I love ellusionist videos, great tutorials, and credits everyone for their work. The only thing i found missing in this tutorial was that for a move like the dribble, it's all about comfort. Everyone i know does it slightly differently, and kinda makes the move unique to them
Ellusionist Oh! Absolutely loving it! These are things some of us already know but those few subtleties that you give are really very helpful. Thanks! ✌🏻️
Thanks Chris. I was practicing the dribble for the last few day the way you learned it. After this video i switched to what you showed us and it instant works so much better. Thanks :D
I believe there is a critical portion of the tutorial missing. Correct me if you think I am wrong. The deck is stabilized against the base of the thumb that is controlling the dribble. If the deck is just out in the air at the ends of your fingers, you can't control the deck. So the the tips of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers are at the end of the deck that is pointing away from you. The first finger at the second joint is on the top of the cards, at the middle of the outside edge. The thumb is on the outside corner on the edge of the end of the deck that is facing in. The inside corner is pressed against the base of the thumb, more on the top of the deck on that corner. To find the sweet spot, try holding the deck with fingers 2,3 and 4 and the thumb with the 1st finger sticking out straight and not touching anything. You are holding the deck as if you were going to place it in a spectator's hand. Now lower the first finger to touch the deck as Chris shows and pull up with the thumb to get pressure on the deck between the thumb and the 1st finger. The inside corner of the deck will naturally press up against the base of the thumb. As soon as I figured this out, I could do the dribble almost perfectly every time. As you get near the end of the deck, you won't need the balance of the base of the thumb just like you don't need the 3rd (ring) finger. As you hand opens, the last few cards just dribble off the tips of your fingers.
Same, but I am trying to convert back to a right handed cardist. I think I am a right handed crdist but spent too long holding the dech with the wrong hand when I was younger.
almost didn't watch it but glad I did have been doing the dribble for like a year now and it's always something left to be desired can do it smothish never could get that real smooth slow dribble with distance though maybe it's cuz I'm still using my pointer finger bent pushing against it and I had to totally straining my hand to do it the other way gonna start practicing other way thanks Ramsey
awesome. learning on red bicycle rider backs. got some Tally Ho and Bee coming. Cant wait to try the diff decks. I got the Faro down pretty good, thats all so far. Also, its awesome to simply go to Walmart and spend $2 per pack for plain Bicycle rider backs. So cheap and such good quality.
So the problem I have is whenigo to release the cards into my hands they don't fully release... Where my thumb releases the cards works correctly, but where my middle finger area just holds onto the cards making them not drop...
Do you also release from the others fingers one card by one? like sometimes my card is not falling and then i tried to release and more and one card fall at once.
Now that you've taught the dribble, how about the 360 riffle fan? Despite watching other tutorials, I still haven't gotten the hang of it. You guys know how to make a good tutorial.
it's someone else's move. and while copyright on intellectual property is shady in this field, I don't think they'd risk being shunned by a whole community of cardists.
What??? 30 seconds and I can already dribble more cleanly this way than I ever have using the opposite corner method Ramsay mentioned at the beginning. I wish I could like this video again.
Great tutorial!!! Chris rocks!!! Crap..... this $#!+ is hard... can't get my hand to work.... I didn't realize doing a "dribble" could be so hard... cards flying everywhere.....
By far the best explanation I have run across for this technique. Question: Does the fleshy part of your thumb also contact the other corner of the deck?
The magician fan, card dribble and basic flourishes were almost impossible on my old stock cards (turns out they were tapered), and since getting my Ellusionist Black Arcanes yesterday, I've been able to conquer them all.
Am I just using really small cards or something? Because I put the deck in that grip and my index finger is nowhere near close enough to put any pressure on it
Chris, I'm struggling with handling the cards...while learning would practicing with a thick stock like the white ghost or a thin easy bending deck. My red Keepers had a fluid movement straight out of the box...I'm starting to think my only chance at this is with true magic. THERE IS NOTHING SLEIGHT ABOUT MY HANDS!!
How do you prevent your middle finger locking up? When I try to do this my middle finger is either locked in a position straight as a ruler or bent too much to do this. I can't get it into a middle ground.
Practice. If you've got that double-jointed first joint like many people, you'll have to learn to keep it just slightly bent to prevent it locking, or learn to use it when it's locked.
I am having an issue with the cards that I let go from my thumb get stuck to my middle finger and pile up before they explode, but to little pressure with my middle fing cause them to go inconsistent directions, how do I remedy this?
The cards are getting hung up on my middle finger when I do this dribble. Sounds weird, but I guess I have a lot of meat on the pad of my middle finger in particular. I have tried to back the middle finger up the deck so that I'm gripping it more with the tip of the finger, but it doesn't seem to help. I'll get about half the deck dribbled, and then the second half falls open like the pages of a book, with the back of the cards still stuck to my middle finger. Hope that makes sense. Advice???
Ian Wong No you don't. I just learned it with a deck I bought 8 days ago and I've used it pretty much every day to learn some tricks. Just be patient buddy and you'll get it. :D
Any tips for avoiding that the cards ‘stick’ to the fingertips of middle, ring and little finger? No matter which angle I hold my right hand, the top of the cards dribble away just fine, but the bottoms feel stuck to the 3 fingers at the bottom, so instead of falling, they just ‘angle off’ the bottom fingers, and don’t really seperate from the fingers until they’ve almost done a 180 rotation downwards. Tried different decks and varying finger position, but nothing seems to help. Any tips?

First time trying it = 52 card pickup
53 cards???
@@Suriya_offl 51 here.. did you get one of mine ?
I forgot the 2 jokers. 6 cards went to my lap, 48 pick up.
Do it on a bed
My cards came with cards with the creators name on it and 2 jokers so 56 card pickup
Your tutorial is so good unlike other tutorials. It took me about 5 tries to get it almost perfectly!
Thanks dude, I really struggled with the dribble but this tutorial helped me nail it the first time. Then it got clunky again but I feel like I‘m on the right way
Y'all are lucky to have Chris. He's good and a good teacher.

This will prevent the cards from getting caught on your fingers as you try to release them during the dribble!
Do you have had to have the pointer finger out to perform it the original way
Oh my god thanks
THANK YOU for returning to Tutorials!

As someone who started dribbling from the corners and have made that method a habit trying to learn this method is fresh and fun
One of the best tutorials on the dribble.
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. I have wanted to learn this for so long. But never found the right video. So thanks !
Hope you're still enjoying our content!
Ellusionist what a question :D
Ellusionist Fenolftalina! Of course we like it! 👌
I do
Ellusionist Oh! Absolutely loving it! These are things some of us already know but those few subtleties that you give are really very helpful. Thanks! ✌🏻️
I try and copy what you're doing but for some reason the cards fall in chunks at a time, do I just need more practice?
Thanks Chris. I was practicing the dribble for the last few day the way you learned it. After this video i switched to what you showed us and it instant works so much better. Thanks :D
I pledged my soul when this deck was first announced and I cannot wait till the challenges begin

"I'll do this with my left hand, that's probably what it looks like."
*_*sound of 50 cards dropping on the floor*_*
Is it weird that I’m right handed but do everything with cards like a left handed person?
"Weird" isn't the right word for it - whatever works for you is good to go.
Ellusionist appreciate the reply! I suppose the only annoying thing is when I fan the cards you can’t see the indices
Same, but I am trying to convert back to a right handed cardist. I think I am a right handed crdist but spent too long holding the dech with the wrong hand when I was younger.
its weird cause i said so
So reletable on me
Dude, how many freaking channels do you have? Lol
You're an animal man and consistently put out great content. Keep beating life's ass!
Love from India Chris. Thank you . Because of u I have started casdistry and magic

Just by the intro, I know it's Chris Ramsay
CleverMou Paw because of his hand tatoo right?
Harsh Magic Yep thats true hahaha

Like your tutorials,the way of presentation etc
Thanks Chris, I have to practice this one, you are right about the clunking
It look so clean. Your good at this bruh. This is hard
Chris Ramsay is awesome to the max!!! Keep doing your thing!!!
Chris Ramsay if that was an actual pass at the end, hot damn! Smooth as butter!
How loose or tight do you hold the cards? Thanks for showing us!
thanks for teaching this technique... It really produces very nice effect!
I learnt quite a lot from this video and with more practice I think I could be as good as anyone
your classic pasd is completely sick bro.. 10/10
So the problem I have is whenigo to release the cards into my hands they don't fully release... Where my thumb releases the cards works correctly, but where my middle finger area just holds onto the cards making them not drop...
I have the same problem.
Turns out I've been doing it wrong the whole time. Welp.
sedimental there is no way of doing anything wrong their is multiple ways of doing things wrong
Brain Power lmao you are not that bright then
Same man
Nice tutorial. Will add this to my flourishes!
Loved the double backer. Loved the pass even more. I didn't expect it, and quickly paused and watched again. Well done! :)
You made this so easy to understand! Thank you!
Do you also release from the others fingers one card by one? like sometimes my card is not falling and then i tried to release and more and one card fall at once.
it looks so nice when you do a card spring and then you do the book dribble ;)
You're awesome! You KNOW how to give a good tutorial! Thanks!
Now that you've taught the dribble, how about the 360 riffle fan? Despite watching other tutorials, I still haven't gotten the hang of it. You guys know how to make a good tutorial.

I didn't know that it was someone else's move. Ok then
Yik Long Tay lol it's Dimitri's move ... How can they teach it ?
As mentioned before, I wasn't aware that it wasn't in the public domain.
there's a free tutorial from the creator now
So useful, thank you! All the other methods I tried hurt my fingers too much.
you guys are badass. think I just found a new interest. love the teaching steez. thanks guys.
absolutely! !! it's unlike anything else on here !!! And those Hellions! !! you gotta let us have them !!!! PLEASE E
Annnnd we relearn the dribble. Great video. Thanks guys.
What??? 30 seconds and I can already dribble more cleanly this way than I ever have using the opposite corner method Ramsay mentioned at the beginning. I wish I could like this video again.
really nice that youre doing stuff for beginners...thanks :)
Using the claw grip that u showed, i figured out how to spring cards kinda fast.
Great explanations for a begginner!! thanks a lot
Thanks for watching!
left my friend's place just to get wifi to watch this! thanks!
Probably a good move there.
Great tutorial!!! Chris rocks!!! Crap..... this $#!+ is hard... can't get my hand to work.... I didn't realize doing a "dribble" could be so hard... cards flying everywhere.....

Yes, that helps control the drop off rate.
Awesome tutorial Chris!
What a great magic training facility!
Thanks for the tutorial! Great content as usual. 🤙🏻

Thanks for teaching
Cool. Still a bit clunky. Hey I’ve only been dribbling for a day! Fun stuff. Great tutorial.
How to make the fingers flexible? I am facing this problem while practising this tutorial and some others too.
Stretch them out. There's various hand exercises you can find on RUclips. Just make sure you don't over do it.
+Ellusionist Thank you very much.
Ellusionist you should put his youtube link in tje description
Am I just using really small cards or something?
Because I put the deck in that grip and my index finger is nowhere near close enough to put any pressure on it
Good thoughtful teaching. Thank you.
the one thing I would add to this tutorial is that you may have to use less pressure than you think is necessary!!!
I've been waiting for a good dribble tutorial, but didn't want to ask and sound inexperienced. so thanks for the lesson.
Thank you! Now i can do it perfectly!
When I saw thumbnail: oh it's chris!
when i saw who uploaded: oh it's ellusionist
when i saw video: i knew it was chris....
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Great video man, which card you need to perform all tricks, plastic or carton, I have the bicycle rider it’s ok??
Bikes work great!
Chris, I'm struggling with handling the cards...while learning would practicing with a thick stock like the white ghost or a thin easy bending deck. My red Keepers had a fluid movement straight out of the box...I'm starting to think my only chance at this is with true magic. THERE IS NOTHING SLEIGHT ABOUT MY HANDS!!
It's all about practice.
Does bad low quality cards affect the results
I have started the pledge but had no challenges as yet
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Does it matter what type of cards you use? I'm using some standard bicycle cards.
Not particularly. It's just a matter of adjusting the pressure to suit any particular deck.
Can i know what is the name of the background music? It's so smooth, i wanna play it whileni was doing homework
Great tips, really helpful. Thanks!
Am i the only one who likes the video automaticly before watching it ?
Filip Baader no
No
No I do that to
What to do with the 3 fingers? They hold the deck without letting the cards drop.
How do you prevent your middle finger locking up? When I try to do this my middle finger is either locked in a position straight as a ruler or bent too much to do this. I can't get it into a middle ground.
Practice. If you've got that double-jointed first joint like many people, you'll have to learn to keep it just slightly bent to prevent it locking, or learn to use it when it's locked.
Ellusionist alright. Thank you.
nice subtleties! helpful
Nice, I have the hellions deck too!👍🏻
You are great Chris.. i appreciate the work.. keep it going ;)

It's tricky, but you may need to "roll' your middle finger out to make space for the cards to fall smoothly.
I enjoyed the content, don't u dare stop!
You're not my supervisor!
Ellusionist you right I don't! but I still have the right to enjoy your content! 😂
Chris is G.O.A.T (greatest of all time)
Cool dribble I love it and liked it✌👍
Great video as always. Still can't get it 🤔 do you need a relatively fresh deck of cards?
Ian Wong No you don't. I just learned it with a deck I bought 8 days ago and I've used it pretty much every day to learn some tricks.
Just be patient buddy and you'll get it. :D
Hey Chris the cards are getting stuck on my fingers.What should i do?
Vary the pressure you are using.
Ellusionist plz can you tell me the song at 00:06 until 00:16
Ramsay usually uses royalty free tracks, so I'm afraid we don't have the names.
Yay Chris teaches us!
whrn do the challenges for hellions start
ill give it a check
Tomorrow
Thank you for sharing and teaching
Hi Buddy, great video and good clear instructions. Many thanks..Boom! :-)
Easy to follow, thanks for the help
Thanks for the lesson 👍
Anyone else came here after Chris Ramsay's new Anaconda Dribble tutorial? 😃

Did you find a fix for this?
They do on his hand too, watch the video in slow motion
Doooope, I appreciate it past Ramsay👌🏽
You know, if you had two camera angles filming at the same time, it would make seeing what you are doing a lot easier.
