"Now for a bit of history behind the move, I created Alcubierre's predecessor, Colour Drive, as a fiddle move back in June of 2016. For several months, I kept Colour Drive the way it was until I realized I could make it a five-packet cut. At this point, I decided I wanted the new cut's name to reference Colour Drive. The name Colour Drive had no meaning (someone suggested it to me and I happened to like it), but the name reminded of the Sci-Fi concept of a warp drive. After bit of Googling, I settled on the name Alcubierre, because an idea/concept for a real-life warp drive called the Alcubierre Drive was proposed back in 1994." -Beckett Behel

Aperture is a smooth 3 packets cut with a smooth flow of packets opening, rotating with a circular motion and a collapsing closer.

"I've been playing with two card twirls for several years. Everyone has their own take on the two card twirl, some have crazy names, others have crazy moves. I wanted to bring a two card twirl to you with a bunch of utility twirls that you could use to shape your own card twirl. " -Kenneth Aidan Foo

Revolver has had many iterations and variations throughout the years, but the version you've seen in Portable Playground 2 and Liquid Paper is its definitive form. - Kevin Ho

Nimbus is a cut consisting of three spinning packets. The move first debuted as part of the NB3 project (short for Nimbus, Bowtie, and 3D), released by Theory11 on its online store, and was later made publicly available on YouTube on October 4, 2013, through the Theory11 channel. If spinning the packets proves difficult, using a thinner deck or a partial deck is recommended.

Cobra Cut is a difficult one handed cut named after the cobra due to its resemblance with the attacking motion of a real cobra.

The Kickflip Skater Cut (often refered to as simply Kickflip) is a variation of the Skater Cut by Joey Burton. In the original move, a packet is stripped out and stays static until it is brought back into the deck. In Dan & Dave's variation, the stripped packet performs a full 360 rotation, known as the Kickflip (Created by Dan & Dave). Hence why it is called the Kickflip Skater Cut.

Vad Fan is a fan which creates two fans simultaneously with the cards sliding on the thumb and middle finger of the opposite hand. Mechanics To prepare for the Vad Fan, the cards are interlaced using a Faro Shuffle and the packets are arranged in an inverted "V" shape, similarly to a Cascade. The packets are typically held at an angle between 90 and 180 degrees. For people with smaller hands, it is also acceptable to reduce the angle slightly below 90 degrees or slide the cards slightly inward. The little finger is then placed on the short edge, while the ring finger and thumb grip the outermost corners. The middle and index fingers may rest along the long edge. The cards are gradually compressed while being supported by the thumbnail and the index or middle fingernail of the opposite hand in the lower central area of the cards. The pressure is then slowly released, forming two fans at the same time. No established ending for the move has been developed yet. History Karlsson first published the move in a cardists' meetup video titled Cha-cha-cha on his YouTube channel. He officially presented the move at the second Cardistry-Con on April 10, 2015.

Side Pressure Fan is a rare pressure-based alternative to the Thumb Fan. The cards are spread by applying pressure to their short edges, using a technique inspired by the LePaul Spread.

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.
