According to Leon Tai's knowledge, the move was first published on a forum called Singapore Magic Circle in 2005. Back then, Mockingbird was fairly simple compared to the full version we see today. It can be seen as a combination of the corner spin from Molecule 3 by Dan and Dave and the Tornado Cut. In Twisted Reality (2006), the flow improved significantly, and Daren stopped midway through the move to showcase the "3-packet display", making the flourish feel more complete. Three months later, an extended version of Mockingbird was released, but it was not until 2008 that Daren published the full version of the move, featuring the stunning display known as Twist of Fate. Nowadays, we often see people perform only the first phase of Mockingbird, and this iconic flourish becomes even more impressive when executed at high speed. This description is a short summary of Leon Tai's in-depth video essay on Mockingbird which is shown above.

Then, both cars are displayed outwards towards the viewer. The deck is then rotated, with the card being "angeled" on the top thumb staying roughly in the same position. Then, the angeled card is moved downards along with the bottom hand moving the lower card upwards.
