Many of you probably already do Backdrop, but in case you don't: you're in luck! Granted, I've taught this before in the One-Card EP and it's also been divulged by various other sources (with fluctuating accuracy). So to give this tutorial some added value, I've included instructions for Ricochet, a neat add-on that you can combine with Backdrop to create a blink-and-you'll-miss-it flourish that goes back and forth in a split second. - Kevin Ho
This Ace Production was inspired by Ricky Jay's book "Cards as Weapons". The performer offers to demonstrate how a deck of cards can be like a gun by shooting a card in the air like a bullet, then reloads the card and proceeds to produce all 4 Aces, showing that he is indeed 'Fully Loaded'. - Kevin Ho
This move is like if Flirt and Raccoon had a baby, and that baby was thrown into a washing machine with the Tasmanian Devil. Admittedly, it's a hard one to get down consistently, but the feeling of nailing it perfectly is like being in a Dude Perfect video. - Kevin Ho
Silicone is a 2-handed cut based on Dan and Dave's Madonna series, that ends in a 5-packet display inspired by the Tudor Cut. This move was also featured in Liquid Paper by Virtuoso. - Kevin Ho
An early version of this move first appeared in PURE, and its final form debuted in Test Room. Its origins stem from a one-handed cut I came up with in college that I didn't know what to do with until I had the idea to combine it with a Jaspas mechanic that he used in his video Passion. For those of you familiar with Snake Charmer, Satellite is that cut's predecessor. Same opener, different paths. - Kevin Ho
I've never been able to do Ashford Kneitel's Tornado Cut, so in the mid-2000s I developed a method for doing a multiple corner-spin move using a different technique. Later on, I incorporated an opener that was shown to me by my friend Daren Yeow, and Twisty McVeigh was born. If you're familiar with my move Corkscrew Closer from YouTube, then something that I do sometimes is to combine Twisty McVeigh with that move, ending it all with Backdrop. Try it out, it's a fun combo! https://youtu.be/ibscuVw8QkU?si=bOm7O_wpzTcKi41E&t=47 - Kevin Ho
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. Special thanks to Michael Stern, music by The Bravery - Kevin Ho
If you're familiar with the One Handed Top Palm, then this is one you'll definitely want to add to your arsenal. First one Ace appears out of nowhere, followed by all 4 all at once. It's an eye-catcher! - Kevin Ho
This one's close to my heart. I used Roundabout to open my video Void Deck from 2007, and it's shown up in different forms like in Portable Playground over the years. Roundabout combines portions of Sybil with my move 2πr. It's smooth, feels good, and overall it's quite easy to learn and do. - Kevin Ho
A Sybil variant with an aerial twist that I came up with in the mid-2000s. Some of you will recognize this from Liquid Paper, where it was combined with a Hot Shot Cut to create a two-person stunt. This one's a little knacky for sure, but a lot of fun to do once you get it down. - Kevin Ho
Stands for "Kevin's First Cut". A very fun and easy flourish to get started with packet cuts.
