Single card

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.

Tiny Hands is a visual illusion in which a single card is placed against the performer’s palm and gently pushed outward, creating the appearance that the card is floating just above the hand. The effect is typically enhanced by rotating the hand during the display, further reinforcing the illusion of suspension. important For Tiny Hands to function correctly, the performer’s palm must retain a slight amount of moisture to allow the card to adhere subtly to the skin. The creator explains this directly, stating that “to perform Tiny Hands, I use the moisture on the inside of the bottom of my lip.”

Ferris is a simple twirl that can lead into more twirls and combos. Published for the first time in D&D's youtube channel in 2014.

The Index Push Off is an easy, not so beginner friendly, One-Handed one card extension. It is fundamental for lots of flourishes and should be learned close to the start of one's cardistry Journey.

Rotation Isolation was created as a complement to the Palm Shift Isolation. The move begins by gripping the center of the card with the thumb and middle finger, which serve as the pivot point. The ring finger is then placed against the card to rotate it in the opposite direction of the hand's movement, creating the illusion of a stationary card.

Palm Shift Isolation is a simple, fundamental isolation flourish that marked the beginning of isolation-based flourishes. A single card is held by its long edge with the fingers while the thumb slides it across the palm. The wrist is then rotated, allowing the fingers to regrip the card along its long edge and return to the starting position, ready to repeat the motion.

Prestige Isolation is a simple isolation flourish that combines a fan with a single isolated card. The move traditionally begins with a fan created using the Side Pressure Fan technique, although a similar final effect can also be achieved with other fans, such as the Thumb Fan. A single card is then extracted from the fan and rotated in the style of the Rotation Isolation. The creator named the move after The Prestige (2006), drawing inspiration from the film's theme of magic.

Backstroke is a visually fluid two-handed packet cut characterized by its rhythmic and continuous flow. The movement relies on seamless packet rotations and finger dexterity to create a swimming-like motion.

The "Brush" is a dynamic, beginner-friendly aerial flourish where a single spinning card is shot into the air. Instead of a standard catch, the cardist smoothly deflects the card upward with their hand or body, creating a striking rebound effect.

Created by Kenneth Aidan Foo, Fling (also known as Zippo) is a beginner-friendly, single-card fidget move. It features a smooth, continuous loop where a card pivots around the middle finger using the thumb.

Flicker is a move in which a singular card is spun around your fingers. This move can be useful in combos, and can be used in before perfomring the flicker shot.

Throwback is a flourish inspired by Kevin Ho's Backdrop grip. It opens with the same grip and positioning as Backdrop and then is spun by the middle finger.

King slinger was originally taught on CARDISTRY HIGH, and King Slinger 2 is an add-on that adds a second single card to the ending of the move. King Slinger is a one card flourish that is essentially a combination of KING CHARMING and GUN SLINGER. King Charming is my variation on *Prince Charming *by Oliver Sogard. Gun slinger is a variation of Bullet by Andrei Jikh. -Zach Mueller This tutorial features King Slinger and King Slinger 2

Spring Spin is a flourish that adds a card on top of a normal spring. This additional card rapidly spins during the spring, set in motion by the cards being shot out and balancing on the edge of the deck

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.

Mantra is one of the greatest one handed cardistry of all time. The move itself involves cutting a deck into two halves, then holding the lower packet in the lower part of your hand. The upper packet is then split into two using your thumb, simultaneously dragging out a single card out and then later combining the middle and lower packet together, flaring out the single card.

Stands for "Kevin's First Cut". A very fun and easy flourish to get started with packet cuts.
