History of cardistry

Cardistry is a really cool way to play with playing cards. People have been playing with cards for a super long time - like, way back before even your mom or dad were born! At first, people just used playing cards for playing games, like Go Fish or Poker. But then, some really creative people started to see cards as something more than just a way to win a game. They started to see them as a way to express themselves and show off their skills.

These people started experimenting with different techniques and moves - like shuffling and cutting the cards in a fancy way. They would practice and practice until they could do really amazing things with the cards. And then, they started to show off their moves to each other and to the world.

This was the beginning of cardistry! It started to become popular in the 1990s and 2000s, when people began creating online communities and tutorial videos to share their skills with each other. Today, there are lots of people all over the world who love to practice and perform cardistry as a form of art and entertainment. It's really cool to see what people can do with just a deck of cards!
