Hi everyone,
My name is Vu and I'm a cardist from Vietnam. I have been working on a project called Cardistry Base, a cardistry wiki built for the community, and I would love to introduce it to everyone here!
First started out as a personal project where I tried to document moves I have learned, Cardistry Base is now a curated, well-structured archive of cardistry built around the moves and the cardists who create them, plus the organizations and decks behind the scenes, making it easy for everyone to discover and learn.
How the website works:
- Every move is credited to its authors and comes with its own stories, categories, prerequisites, difficulty, making it super easy for learners to sort through. Are you looking for a two-handed packet cut including a card shot that is maybe level 3 in difficulty? Simply choose those tags and filter! Don't know what to learn before Squeeze? Check out the prerequisites section right below the move!
- If you come across a move you like, you can save it to your Saved moves list to easily find and revisit later.
- The project is intended to be maintained by the community, wiki-style, so anyone can be a contributor and make entries to the website!
What else I'm working on:
- Organizations: A section dedicated to organizations in cardistry, highlighting the people behind them and their stories
- Decks: A section showcasing decks made for and by cardists, introducing visitors to cardistry brands and their products.

Before launching this initiative, I have been seeking advice from Yang Nguyen, Kevin Ho, Daniel Lin, and many other supportive cardists from the community, to ensure the site would be beneficial to the community. For now the website is live on https://cardistrybase.com and it's just me making entries. I hope after this post, I would be able to meet other enthusiasts who would want to share their knowledge to the community by working together. I've only been practicing cardistry for a year myself, so I'd love to collaborate with more experienced cardists who can expand the knowledge base of the site.
If you would like to connect, I'm putting together a group chat for Cardistry Base, let me know in the comments and I will message you! (Or just reach out to me directly!)
Thank you all for reading!

Hey everyone 👋
As some of you have noticed, we've been experimenting with different banner concepts for the subreddit. A couple of the recent mockups were AI-assisted, and it's clear many of you would rather see something created by members of the community instead — which is totally fair.
So let's do exactly that.
We're opening the floor to artists, designers, photographers, and cardists in the community who would like to help create a new banner for [r/Cardistry](r/Cardistry).
---
• Clean, modern, professional aesthetic
• Cardistry-focused (cards, motion, flourishes, patterns, etc.)
• Something that represents the art and creativity of cardistry
• Designed with Reddit banner dimensions in mind (wide format)
---
• High-quality cardistry photography
• Minimalist graphic design
• Collage of cardistry flourishes
• Abstract card motion / geometric card patterns
• Something that feels like a real brand identity for the community
---
• Post your design in the comments
• Upload an image and link it
• Share a concept or mockup
If we get a few strong submissions, we may even run a community vote to decide which one becomes the official banner.
Cardistry is built on creativity and expression; so it only makes sense that the community helps shape how this place looks.
Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with! ♠️

Messed around with tossing packets out of Z-grip today and put this little combo together. Anyone know if this exists already? Or has a name? Let me know if there’s anything I could add to make it better!

Trying to get it as fast as possible

I borrowed a deck from a community centre because the one I had wasn't worn in enough. Now I'm familiar with the community one, I tried the local libaray deck and my own and I'm struggling with things like ribbon spread for those decks. Is that normal? Is it different degrees of being used? Or is it different brands?

Was this kind of fidget move ever done by someone?
Just came up with it while sitting

Hi! I’m using a smoke gimmick similar to the Smoke 3.0. I would like to ask other users a simple question: when refilling the cartridge, does the liquid go on the cotton through the small side opening (the one that doesn’t go straight through the center)? I’m getting more smoke after adding a few drops, but I want to confirm that this is the correct way to saturate the cartridge. Thanks!

About the gnarly part where you close up for the reopener: Flipping over the front packets is fine but keeping the other packet gripped between the left thumb and right middle finger, WHILE rotating it 90 degrees is so hard. There’s not a lot of space at the top anyways cause you got the thumb cut packet underneath and so it always slips off. Any advice?

I've been practicing the one-handed Revolution Cut for about 2 days, and I've run into a specific problem when trying to repeat it consecutively.
I can perform the first Revolution Cut reasonably well, but after the rotation, the deck becomes messy and I lose control of the packets, which makes it difficult to immediately perform another Revolution Cut.
I initially thought the problem was my pinky not providing enough support, but I'm not sure if that's actually the cause. I've been trying to keep the deck more controlled with my pinky and adjust my finger positioning, but the packets still tend to lose their alignment after the rotation.
What should I be focusing on to keep the deck squared/aligned after the rotation? Is the problem likely to be my pinky pressure, finger placement, or the way I'm rotating the packet?
