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.
Tutorial
The deck of cars is held along the long edges with your thumb on one edge and the fingers on the other side. Release half of the cards with your thumb and they will drop down into your palm.
Remove your index finger from the deck, move it below the dropped cards, and push up on those cards until they come in contact with you thumb. Once you reach this point, keep pushing and your thumb will release from the original cards.
These cards will drop down onto the fingernail and knuckle of your index finger. Lower the index finger so that the cards are resting on the fingers.
Move the thumb towards your finger tips, placing the cards held by your thumb on top of the other cards.

Man how the heck did you do it!! My thumb is too short!! But i found out that if you use half of the deck it is easier.

this can be done with a small hand tho it is alot harder, u have to lean the droped stack of cards up the side and over the top stack without the top stack sliping from your finger tips, or from falling out between the index and the rest of the fingers… abit harder but yea

I find it also works with the middle finger – it leaves the deck a lot more balanced in your hand, and makes things much easier if you have longer fingers. great guide
