The credit for the Wedge Cull goes to Vernon from the book Select Secrets. Jennings, who uses the cull in The Bonus Trick even refers to it as the “Vernon Wedge”.
I’ll add Vernon to the credits section for the the wedge; but I believe using the wedge in the context of a culling technique is still Larry Jennings. The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings does mention the Vernon wedge but it refers to this technique as Larry’s Wedge Cull.
Vernon uses it as a culling technique in Follow the Leader. the difference is that Vernon culls three cards in a row, and Jennings culls cards that are not necessarily together in the spread.
Where do you get the pad that you use in the videos?
thanks for sharing. I like it
nice post
yes it’s great post
I was bummed when I initially missed the event,
great post!
Fans of scary video games all over the world have said nice things about the Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF 1) series. But first, let’s talk about what FNAF is and why it’s such a scary game.
Interesting technique! I’ve been trying to improve my card handling and the idea of controlling multiple cards during a spread sounds really useful. By the way, have you tried the game at Movie Wordle? It’s a fun daily challenge for movie fans.
I love how the Wedge Cull builds on the classic spread cull concept. The idea of controlling multiple cards at once seems like it could open up a lot of possibilities. Have you noticed if certain grips make it easier to maintain smooth control during the spread?
Wow, this Wedge Cull technique is so clever! I love how it simplifies gameplay.

I’ve been struggling to cull more than one card without breaking my spread’s flow. The way the wedge variation handles multiple cards at once could really streamline a multiple selection routine. Going to test this in my next practice session.
Great breakdown of the wedge cull technique. Just like organizing card sleights, writing research needs a clear formato imryd
The wedge cull effectively improves the standard spread by maintaining control over several cards during the shuffle. That same deliberate structure makes securing casual movie browsing significantly more straightforward. Keeping your approach organized usually delivers better results, regardless of the medium. related note
The wedge cull’s distinction between Vernon’s version and Jennings’s adaptation is a nice piece of technical history—it changes how you think about the hand positioning when culling non-adjacent cards. Also, the grip question from earlier comments is worth testing, since a looser spread seems to make the wedge action smoother. For anyone working on card illustrations or tutorial graphics, separating the visual elements afterwards can be tedious, which is where an AI image layer tool could help slice up scanned deck images for cleaner diagrams.
Thanks for sharing this. I found the discussion around “Wedge Cull – 52Kards” useful, especially the practical context.
I’ve been comfortable with the standard spread cull for years, but the idea of culling multiple cards in one clean pass feels like a genuine upgrade. Does the Wedge Cull rely on a completely different fingertip grip, or is it mostly a positioning shift once you’re past the basics?

I really enjoyed reading about the wedge cull and how small grip tweaks can smooth the action—especially useful when you’re making card tutorial graphics. Speaking of visuals, a RGBA to HEX Color Converter comes in handy for tweaking those diagram colors.
Really enjoyed the breakdown of the wedge cull and the tip about a looser spread—makes the move feel smoother. Speaking of visuals, tools like lumamath could help parents illustrate math ideas just as easily as slicing card scans for clean diagrams.
That’s a clever variation—being able to control multiple cards while spreading through the deck sounds way more efficient than the standard cull. Do you find it takes a lot of practice to keep the spread looking natural while you’re setting up the wedge? Curious how it compares for anyone working on their face score too. face score
Controlling several cards during a spread makes the prerequisite Spread Cull link helpful for following this variation. For visual prop references, pictostl turns photos into previewable 3D meshes with STL export; generated models should be checked before printing.
The idea of culling multiple cards while spreading rather than stopping to do it in separate actions is what caught my attention. In my own practice, the hard part is keeping the spread smooth enough that the wedge doesn’t look like a break. Do you find it better to practice with two cards first, or jump straight to three or four to get the timing right?
The Wedge Cull’s practical value is that it lets you cull and control multiple cards while spreading through the deck, which the article presents as an intermediate-to-advanced spread cull. wan 3.0 could help turn a card-handling sequence like this into a reference-guided video draft.
