6 moves
This was actually one of, if not the first cut I created (my memory gets a bit hazy with cuts from that time). Back in mid-2015, I'd been doing cardistry for about 6 months and I had this cut minus the closer. Luckily, I happened to see a cut by Hisnent (one of my all-time biggest inspirations) where he closed packets at the end like a book. I simply took his closer and made a slightly "flow-ier" version for my own cut. -- Backett Behel
The creator wanted to playfully poke fun at a rival cardistry move named "Nimbus." In Harry Potter, the Firebolt broomstick outclasses the Nimbus, so he chose the name to jokingly suggest his cut was better and faster.
The creator named the foundational move Feldspar simply after the mineral, just because he thought it sounded pretty cool.
I encourage you to learn Rust to a decently competent level before attempting Rust 2.0. Also make sure the deck you use is broken-in. It can be done with new cards, but it would save you a lot of trouble if you don't do that right away. -- Beckett Behel
Smorgasbord has virtually no standard grips and some very odd mechanics, which means I needed to make the specifics of this cut sink in as much as possible -- Beckett Behel
"Now for a bit of history behind the move, I created Alcubierre's predecessor, Colour Drive, as a fiddle move back in June of 2016. For several months, I kept Colour Drive the way it was until I realized I could make it a five-packet cut. At this point, I decided I wanted the new cut's name to reference Colour Drive. The name Colour Drive had no meaning (someone suggested it to me and I happened to like it), but the name reminded of the Sci-Fi concept of a warp drive. After bit of Googling, I settled on the name Alcubierre, because an idea/concept for a real-life warp drive called the Alcubierre Drive was proposed back in 1994." -Beckett Behel
