One of A Cut Above's moves of the month (September 2026) Combining two moves doesn't usually get much credit as its own idea. But that's how a lot of art works, taking what already exists and making it yours. In Full Party, Duc takes two of the year's classics and fuses them into one clean catch. Destiny, the left hand move, launches high, which buys just enough time for the Confetti single card to pop up and fall back onto the deck. Both get caught at almost the same instant, which makes it so satisfying to watch as he snatches them both with a sweeping hand motion. It's also nice to see a move with no fluff, just a couple quick flips that play off each other perfectly. - SQUAREUP
Isolation made by Jaspas for performances with a close audience, wherein a top view is utilized rather than a front one
Similarly to dropout, the move allows the cardist to retain one card from a packet and drop the other cards
Dr Strange is a 2-handed flourish created by Daniel Lin. The flourish has 2 single cards being angeled and then, after one squares up, the other one spins cleanlily towards the deck.
Broken Angel is a two-handed flourish on which the cardist angels a card, and then grabs his own thumb, to then suddenly twist it and product another angeled card and make a 3-packet display.
The Double Pirouette is a move that uses a kicking motion of the index finger to spin two cards balanced on your thumb & middle finger, very similar to the pirouette
Angel Dust is a single card flourish in which you angel a card and then blow onto it.
Quick tutorial for a stunning one card twirl called Windstruck by Yang Nguyen.
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 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
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
X-Cut is a simple display or twirl. The original version created by Jerry Cestkowski being a packet display and Kevin Ho turning it into a flashy twirl.
