From the experts.
It’s a promising project. Executed well and kept sustainable, it could be something genuinely impressive.
I think it’s a brilliant initiative for the community, and it looks very well designed to boot.
Really cool to see initiatives like this because lord knows we need it. Information about moves is just so scattered.
Freshly added to the archive.
Just a simple false cut with a sweet twist at the end. Named after a card in the Raw Deal TCG.
It's been over half a year since I've posted a tutorial, so I figured it was time to make a new one. There are a lot of flashy multiple-packet cuts out there, but the real challenge is to make something just as nice with only two. I've been using this for a while (some of you may recognize it from HFFH), and as of late the handling has been changed to have it end with Huron's amazing deck spin, Swivel. He graciously gave me permission to teach this move, so do give credit where credit is due and offer a prayer to the big H every time you perform this.

Here's a little ditty that I've been using for a while - it's just one of those things I really enjoy doing, especially as a part of my warm-up practice. It's nothing original, other than the order the different elements of the cut are in (hence the name). And while it's not my greatest work, I hope it encourages those watching to discover fun and visually stylistic combinations of their own to play around with. Thanks for reading! - Kevin Ho
Hot Shot is a aerial card shot that makes the card glide in the air.
Top Shot is a move that involves shooting a singular card from the top of the deck from one hand into another hand.
Waterwheel is an intricate flourish that drops a faro'ed deck of cards into the other hand in a fascinating manner.
