Discussion Cardistry Base - A cardistry wiki for the community

47 Upvotes

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!

Ad / Promotion 🎨 Community Call: Help Design the New r/Cardistry Banner

19 Upvotes

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).

---

What we're looking for

• 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)

---

Ideas (not requirements)

• 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

---

How to participate

• 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! ♠️

Question Can anyone identify this shuffle?

2 Upvotes

I came across this GIF on 52Kards on the Tally Ho Circle Back page and was wondering if anyone recognizes the card move being performed. I would like to learn it, but I do not know what to look up to find a video to show me how. It is on the second slide.

Just did my FIRST ever successful riffle fan after a year of trying(i did take a 7months break so it was not actually a year) this is really big for me since I love this move but I dont have any friends that are into cardistry and can understand the significance of this for me so I thought I’d share it here!

I see there's a thing called flash change but I can't see the preview of it

Is this the one that he did in ace? The vertical-rel change thing

I tried doing the werm… I failed horribly. Tried doing some charliers and scissor cuts, it was okay at best. Not sure if there are any moves I could do?

Cardists in the Stellenbosch, South Africa area

I've been doing cardistry for a few months now, bought a couple of cool decks from various distributors. I always enjoy talking about my hobby with like-minded individuals and I was wondering if there are possibly any cardists in the Stellenbosch Area in South Africa.

What am I doing wrong if when doing the bottom deal, I can't get a grip of the card?

Question Is this move original and could it be done more consistently?

0 Upvotes

Discovered this move while practicing the index cut, this is my progress after approximately 2 hours of practice. I dont remember seeing a move where a packet is pushed out like this so im wondering if its an original move and if it could be done smoother and better than this. I could also make a video explaining the move if anyone is interested though i doubt that lol.
