- What's up YouTube?
Nice to see you again.
Thanks for joining me on my channel.
Today as per your request, I suggested that I put up
a false cut tutorial.
It's a three packet, false cut.
I call it Faux, which is French for false.
Get it?
Yeah, I'm clever.
So I'll be teaching this and stay tuned to the end
where I will be giving a little bit of a bonus false cut
which is really really simple to do,
and it's two packets.
Just a fun little thing I do when I fidget with cards
but I'm sure you guys will get some mileage out of it.
So stay tuned, stick around,
thanks again for joining in, and I hope you enjoy it.
Leave your comments below what you thought of it
and what you guys would like to learn next,
and I will try my best to do so.
Thanks again.
All right, for this tutorial I'm going to be using
the Bee Black Diamond playing cards.
I really like the design of these cards.
They're available on coterie1902.com, I believe.
All right, let's get into this tutorial already.
The first thing you're going to do is
this little thing.
So this is, I don't know if it's a swivel cut,
I guess it's a swivel cut or a pivot cut, one of the two.
That's going to be the first move.
So all you're going to do here is grab it
in like this sort of Biddle grip, this edge grip.
Index and middle finger.
Thumb back here.
You're going to peel off maybe less than a half up to a half
of the cards, all right.
Once you've done that, your index finger over here
is going to contact this corner,
and is going to pivot it around.
So if you can do this,
you'll be set for the next move.
Lift, pivot, here.
Falls.
But you're not going to let it fall.
What you're going to do is after you pivot,
your thumb is going to grab the back here
and split this once again.
All right.
You're here, and your thumb is going to grab this.
Now automatically what you're going to want to do
is go this way,
little scissors.
You're going to go here,
this is where it gets a little bit tricky.
The corner here is going to contact the corner of the deck.
All right, so this is the action basically.
That's what's going to happen in that hand.
I'll show you again.
Pivot, break,
and see how my index automatically wants to go this way?
This index here goes this way?
The corner of the packet that I'm holding
between my thumb and middle finger
is going to be pinched by the index here.
So once it's pinched by the index here,
you can let go of everything.
Once you release a little bit of pressure here
at the index, that's going to want to come down
and contact your thumb.
Meanwhile this hand you're just wanting to go
into Mechanic's Grip.
Now as you're here, your ring finger is primed to grab
to touch the top portion of this, right?
So again, up here,
break off,
all right?
If you look at here, my finger's still touching
and it's going to pinch there
as this goes down there.
Ring finger is basically, it's leaning on the ring finger,
index goes under because what's going to happen
is it's going to fall on the index,
your curled index just like so.
You're then going to push with your index,
going to flop over your thumb into your hand,
and then you're going to close up.
So fairly simple.
Once again,
swivel,
break off,
pinch, drop,
drop,
and drop.
Once again,
drop, and this drops into that hand directly.
All you're doing here to close it up
is your thumb is going to contact here,
your middle finger is going to remain there,
and you're just going to bring it to the back of the pack.
All right, that's fairly simple.
Open, pinch,
over here,
and once your thumb's here, you're just going to do this.
So you're holding this here in
a Straddle Grip.
Your thumb and middle finger are going
to rotate the cards to behind.
So quicker, this is what it looks like.
And that, my friends, is a completely false cut.
I hope you enjoyed that.
I don't think there's any point in going more detail.
It's pretty simple.
This is going to be the little beginner cut
which is false,
which I don't even know if it consists as a false cut,
but it is a false cut,
and it's just fun to do once you have cards in your hand,
so it looks like this.
So it's one of those closers that a lot of people use
for their flourishes, including myself.
I just find doing this a lot,
and it is false.
So all you're doing is you're taking the bottom packet,
you're rotating it around,
and you're putting it right back on the bottom.
But when done quickly,
you have to imagine for lay people, it's really hard
to understand what's going on.
As soon as they see packets being separated,
to them, the deck is being cut.
As soon as it's separated, they lose
all notion of what the heck is going on.
You're doing a swing cut.
So same two fingers,
same grip as the last one.
You're going to swing cut into here,
which is, swing cut, you grab with this meaty part.
The middle finger and thumb are going
to use the deck as a pivot,
came around,
you're going to regrip,
and it's going to rotate around your thumb, just like that.
Meanwhile, this hand is going to kick out this packet, okay?
So it goes like this.
It rotates around the thumb, see how I'm holding this here,
and this gets kicked out into this hand,
which is then flopped back on top.
Just a fun thing to do.
And if you're ever walking around in a strolling environment
or just messing with your cards,
and to the audience, it kind of just looks like
you're just cutting the cards,
but you're actually not cutting anything at all.
It's an illusion.
What the hell is that?
Get out of here.
All right guys.
Thanks so much for tuning in.
I hope you enjoyed that,
and I enjoyed teaching it.
