The One Handed Drop Cut is a simple way to cut a deck of cards with one hand. This card trick might often be called by the simpler name of the “one handed cut.” The trick only has four steps and is very easy to learn.
The One Handed Lift Split Cut is very similar to the One Handed Drop Cut with some variations to spice it up a bit.
The One Handed Twirl Cut is a neat looking card trick. It is performed by twirling or twisting half of the deck of cards around and to the back of the other half.
The Front to Back Cut is a card trick that will be easier to perform for people with larger hands. This is due to the fact that during the trick you are almost holding two lengths of cards in your hand. If the distance between the tip of your pinky and the tip of your thumb in a stretched out hand is not more than 7.5 inches you most likely will not be able to perform the trick as described here.
If you’ve ever watched the movie Rounders you’ve seen this card trick. The character of Lester “Worm” Murphy, played by Edward Norton, is showing doing this trick in a scene during the movie. It’s not a hard trick to learn and it isn’t anything flashy, but when someone catches you do it out of the corner of their eye they’ll think it looks pretty neat. I don’t know if the trick actually has a name so I decided to call it From the Top.
