Daniel Lin

Created Flutter first in 2020. For quite some time it was just a one-hand combo move. But then I realized it had to be part of a four packet spinny move and spent the next 3 years figuring out how to make that happen. While I don't know how to do Mockingbird or Nimbus the structure of Hummingbird is very much inspired by those two moves. Had 90% of the structure decided by 2022 and after a lot of iterating settled on the current iteration in 2024. I hope to be able to do it with a full deck some day. We'll see if I ever figure that out.

Discovered the move on a video call with Duy & Hung. When Hung randomly said something along the lines of I wish I could spin two cards in one hand. I attempted it and figured out the core mechanics within minutes. Simultaneously felt very blessed to have discovered it and cursed to be obligated to perfect it. I also blame Shiv for pushing me to do the move with packets. Wasted a lot of my time on this detour. As a result, I still have not built an iso routine around Double Barrel.

Ghandi's Flip Flop is a flourish that revolves around a packet and then a single card recursively flipping and going around a principal pack of cards. Debuted in the cardistry video Power Play. The tutorial for this flourish was posted in Lotus in Hand's Cardistry Bootcamp tutorial series in which he focuses on teaching cardistry for newbies and intermediate cardists.

Newton's Cradle is a flourish first debuted in the cardistry video Power Play. It is a simple moving display with a movement inspired by a Newton's cradle, thus the name, in which the cards slowly fall as energy is chained between them.

First featured at Daniel lin's solo cardistry video Shapes in the Dark, Netsky is a flourish that has multiple packets moving at the same time, packets mechanically rotating and then a flick to close it.

Sange is one of Daniel's original moves that he has posted on the channel Lotus In Hand. It is a cut that can be easily utilized in combos and can also be done continuously.

Featured for the first time at the cardistry performance video Blitz on the Lotus In Hand Youtube channel.

Debut for the first time at the second round of the Cardistry Con Championship 2016. Globetrotter is a moving display that revolved the movement of 2 cards around a "globe"

A flourish that has first appeared at the first round submission from Daniel Lin for the Cardistry Con Championship 2016. The flourish has 2 packs of cards tumbling and falling to make a quick 3 packet display with alternate back and face sides appearing before closing.

Lucid is a flourish performed in Daniel Lin's Cardistry Con Championship finals. It is a move with flashy spinning packets at its opener and then slows down to make way to a packet going around the hand with a mechanical movement as its closer so that all packets get side by side and are squared up.

Flop is a twirl flourish that involves one card rolling around a finger and returning into a charlier position. Its tutorial was posted as part of the Cardistry Bootcamp tutorial series from the channel Lotus In Hand.
