What these Danes did with a deck of 52 made those in attendance do double takes. They manipulated cards into impossible 3-D configurations at speeds that even to the naked eye resembled camera tricks. They cut, flung, flipped, rotated, juggled, and shuffled playing cards in the middle of the street, along train tracks, their faces emotionless, their hands a blur. It’s yo-yo tricks performed by cardsharps with the street cred of a Parkour video. There’s a name for it: cardistry.
