@lotusinhand what do you mean by push down with your pointer finger? Because every time I try to do it, the cards stay in my right hand and does not fall into my left hand.
is it possible to have hand to big to correctly do the grips as showed in your tutorials? most of the time I can't reproduce the exact grips cuz my finger simply are too tought and I have to find an alternate way to do the grip... IF that's something that could happen, it would be REALLY REALLY usefull if you explain the principle behind every cardistry trick along with the tips so that we could find an alternate, more comfortable way, to apply the principle with our own hands sizes
I definitely think it's possible, I have the same problem you describe. I see you made this comment a year ago, have you been able to learn or figure out a solution?
@@jamesthe-doctor8981 I just juggled and played with cards doing and doing the tricks I wanted to learn over and over again until I developed a kind of natural feel for the grips... Even simply playing with the cards without doing much helps
powerpoison powerpoison yes that makes perfect sense. Whenever I need to learn a new guitar chord or riff I didn’t know before, I’ll sit in front of the TV, or whatever, and hold my hands and fingers in the positions, not playing, just making my hands and fingers “get the feel” of it. Although I know that scientifically there is no such thing as “muscle memory,” the electrochemical signals that travel the pathways of your nervous system that run from any part of your body to your brain get “used to” traveling them. That’s why doing small, but ultra-repetitive movements can cause focal dystonia, or musician’s dystonia. It’s a condition that basically burns out those pathways due to overuse. Anyway, thanks for the reply, and the tip! It’s going to do me a lot of good.
I just can't seem to get the cards to fall one by one, just in clumps, not sure if I'm bending the cards too much or not enough, it seems such an awkward grip for what appears to be a fairly easy and straight forward effect. ( I am totally new to this by the way)
@@houseofcardistry7672 another thing I find is when you have the deck at the tips of your fingers to allow them to dribble one by one, I can't get the pressure with my index, it just doesn't contact with enough pressure or whatever
Eddie Thomas the tip about pulling up with the thumb while pressing down with the index helped me. As for the other fingers I place just enough of the tips on the bottom edge of the pack to hold them in place. Too much and they stick together, not enough and I’m picking cards up off the floor.... again.... after a few hours practicing the move I’m starting to find that balance point but my right hand is killing me. It will definitely take some hand strength to really make the dribble look smooth. If you haven’t already seen it, Chris Ramsay has a good tutorial on the dribble also. His tip about hand motion while releasing the cards was helpful to me also.
I’m also new to this and haven’t been able to get the cards to even *consider* spinning at all.😂 I can get a pretty nice dribble as long as I concentrate on keeping my thumb horizontal with as little pressure as possible. More like I’m letting them fall past my thumb than pulling up with my thumb while pushing down with my index. Chris Ramsay’s dribble tutorial was what got me doing both of those, too: keeping my thumb sideways, and the lightest pressure possible without just dropping the whole deck. House of Cardistry, I’m sure you’re right about hand strength, which is also the key to playing the guitar, which is something I’ve become pretty decent at after 56 years. My hands, especially my left hand, got cramped and sore for a long time after I started. So long, that I didn’t really notice for an even longer time that my playing was getting better because my hands weren’t cramping. They weren’t cramping because I had developed the strength to keep them relaxed! The reason I eventually noticed it was when I started learning new playing techniques that started making them cramp, but in a different way, different muscles, etc. Before long, that pain lessened until I had developed the strength those muscles needed in order to play relaxed. I’m learning that it’s the same with cardistry. The first flourish I went after was the Sybil cut/flourish/whatever. Man, that thing made me grow a whole new muscle group!😂 Not really, but it did work some in a whole different way. Now I found that if I don’t practice it, the cramping comes back. And it gave me something else that’s turning out to be very useful: My hands now have more strength and stamina when I play guitar, and bass in my band, as well.

I legit had no idea what I was doing wrong with my dribble, the first tip at the end was a huge help! Great content man, keep it up!
@Lucca Thiago nice try. You’re not fooling anyone...

100% I have big hands and I'm struggling with this one as well.
How much pressure are we supposed to apply with the thumb? I've only been practicing for 10 minutes and my thumb already can't take it.
If you have mastered this move, two things you can practice is the anaconda by Bone Ho, and the riffle fan.

How do I keep them from coming out in clumps?
Is this too good. Thank you for this tutorial!!

Same here. I’ve been at it almost two weeks now and cannot get the feel of this at all. More practice, I guess.

I'm missing the top joint of my thumb on my right hand. Any tips on how to better dribble with limited thumb bending?
We have to hold our grips hard or to kept it quite loose???
what do you mean protrude to much?
Only I noticed it🤣. In starting it was "DRIBBLE PERFORANCE" INSTEAD OF PERFORMANCE . "M" WAS MISSING.
Ya, I rewinded this video after reading ur comment 🤣. Really it was PERFORANCE🤣.
Yes, myself too noticed 🤣.
Yes I noticed in starting.
Yes😂.
Yes🤣.

It would be better if you show the dribble first and then the tutorial on how to do it.
That's exactly what he did
Instructions unclear my hand popped
hands too smoll, middle finger is too tight on the pack
