Messed up 'grip' on cards!

[kimeshhd]

Hi there, I'm Kimeshan and I'm fairly new to theory11 and cardistry. I have been doing card magic on and off for a year due to moving (countries).

After downloading a few free cardistry tutorials, I have discovered that I hold the cards in opposite hands... This really causes a problem because the tutorial is being taught in the opposite way. I learnt the swing cut previously and I swing the cards in my left hand to my right hand. I have never seen this and it has always been done from right to left. I have been practising using my right hand but it is very awkward, even though I am right handed. This has stopped me from learning new moves as it is hard to learn from the tutorials because I do not have enough skill with my right hand.

I would really love to get into cardistry and learn some great moves and maybe even make my own! But I need to be able to use both my hands first

If someone could please help me out as to how I can re-learn with my right hand and try to make it more dominant when it comes to cardistry.

If I should add more information like photos or videos to show then please tell me

Thank you!

There are lefty magicians, you don't have try to force yourself to become right handed. It'll just be a little bit more difficult to follow video tutorials because most people are right handed.

It actually quite common, you'll find some people are left handed, such as Andrei Jihk, so all their tutorials are shot left handed, making it easy for you. For all other tutorials all you need to do is mirror everything they do.

hi there.
I am left handed and what I do to follow tutorial is to keep the screen the video is on in front of a mirror and then follow it from the mirror
