Prestige Isolation
Prestige IsolationLV 2
Jaspas
2013

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.

Andrei Jikh

A signature move from the mind of Andrei Jikh, the b4 is a multi-phased cardistry sequence that demonstrates smooth, swift card handling. Taught in 12 minutes of detailed instruction by Andrei Jikh - and filmed in high definition in theory11's Las Vegas headquarters. A unique flourish that you will have fun learning and integrate into your cardistry arsenal. This move was originally created by Andrei as an entry into one of theory11's weekly Saturday Night Contests. Needless to say - he took home the prize.
