I bought NB3 because I loved the look of Nimbus, but I've barely touched the flourish because the prerequisite is so bloody difficult. Is anyone else having issues with this one-handed cut? Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding this move harder to accomplish than a clip shift. Any advice would be much appreciated. I just can't get my middle finger under the damn deck without cards going EVERYWHERE!

Definitely not for beginners. I can do a one handed shuffle and a clipshift no problem, but this thing feels impossible. I wish he would have talked more in depth about it because I must be missing something. Specifics on grip, positioning and common issues would be really useful since the cut makes up 85% of the flourish.
Practice practice and more practice.
I had the same issue when learning Akira. Spinning the cards 360 using the base of my palm was impossible. Now, I can do that every time and can't believe I had an issue with it at the beginning. If you just keep at it you will find it falls into place. I tried the cut briefly and couldn't figure out how to move my pinky over to the correct position but know when I start to spend some time working it, it will work.
