Thanks for the tutorial, i have to say; at first i tought my hand was too small, but after a while i learned the trick, somewhat :D

@NoVoiOvi Thank you for sticking with it and providing a testimony that these tricks are doable for people with small hands. The majority of questions I receive are in regards to having small hands. I am not the best at addressing these comments becuase my hands are relatively large. But we all have to work with what God gave us, right.

I'm finding it quite hard to break the cards in half with just my thumb, Also I think my hand is too small for the cards to get into that position at 1:04 =/ Because I can never get my index finger in-between the two halves and manage to leave a gap in the middle.

@Megoraxos Mego, check out one of my newest videos, it's a short one w/ two tips on this cut. The position at 1:04 is really about holding the two packets at an angle that fits your hands. You don't really need a gap in the middle, you just need to keep the top moving then pull it below, by pulling in on the index. Try breaking the cards near the top and then sliding your thumb to the bottom, like I do on the video. Then try breaking the pack at the bottom, and use which works best.

@NoVoiOvi Yea, i've learned that even the simplest cuts require work, you simply cant learn it in an istant

@cinnamongirlx1 I'm honestly not really good at the magic stuff. Presentation is such a big part of magic, some ppl have it. I don't. lol. How old is your son? A problem w/ Magic "kits" that I've seen are that they are super lame. The problem with the good magic is it's hard, takes a lot of practice and persistence.

If you son is around 12+ and likes magic and cards, I would really recommend "The Magic Book" by Harry Lorayne. Kinda hard to find though.
