Prism

by
Andrew AvilaAndrew Avila

Prism is a modern classic flourish that involves constructing a complex card structure and rotating it around its own axis.

The move is highly versatile, allowing for a wide variety of performances. Variations differ in the shape of the structure, the number of layered structures1, or the ability to perform two independent Prisms simultaneously.2

The most common variations include:

  • A prism-shaped structure.
  • A rhombus.3
  • An "M"-shaped Prism (referred to by the creator as "prisM"4).
  • A tower made of permanently bent cards arranged in an alternating pattern (known as "Prismeme"5).
