Backdrop

by
Kevin HoKevin Ho

Backdrop is a simple flourish in which a single card is launched horizontally through the air from one hand to the other.

The card is held under tension created by the index, middle, and ring fingers, secured by the thumb and little finger, then released with the little finger.

The move is often combined with ATM as a clean and visually striking finisher.


Created when Kevin was exploring the idea of shooting a card from the back-palm position. It was first introduced in his 2012 One-Card EP and was later added as the closer for Revolver.
