Duc
09/09/2026

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

FulsomfanLV 3

Fulsomfan is a display built around a triangle-shaped structure made of packets, with three cards slid out. Mechanics The deck is divided into three packets, with the middle packet pushed forward using the thumb. Once the triangle-shaped structure is formed, two cards are taken from the aforementioned packet and held between the fingers. The final card is slid out from underneath and pressed firmly with the chosen thumb, using moisture to keep the hanging card in place. History The creator says that he conceived the move as early as 2010, but “couldn't do it (cause of my tiny hands) untill 2012”. It was first published in his YouTube video Sleep [Birger Karlsson]. References fragment of the creator's description of the instructional video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNsL6cij3fA
