Oddstyle 01 is a flourish created by Jaspas while he was experimenting with a different grip which is called Oddstyle Grip. It is the first one of a series of "Oddly Styled Moves cardistry moves", as jaspas said. This flourish opens with three packets of cars aligning vertically with each other, then they rotate to align again but horizontally.

Daniel Lin

Lucid is a flourish performed in Daniel Lin's Cardistry Con Championship finals. It is a move with flashy spinning packets at its opener and then slows down to make way to a packet going around the hand with a mechanical movement as its closer so that all packets get side by side and are squared up.

Newton's Cradle is a flourish first debuted in the cardistry video Power Play. It is a simple moving display with a movement inspired by a Newton's cradle, thus the name, in which the cards slowly fall as energy is chained between them.

One-Handed Table Shuffle
One-Handed Table ShuffleLV 6
Unattributed Cardistry

One-Handed Table Shuffle is a technique that combines elements of both riffle and faro shuffling. Two aligned halves of the deck are placed close together at an angle. The index finger is then positioned at the point where the corners meet, lifting the packets upward while the remaining fingers press them together from the sides, allowing the cards to interlace.

Butt Shuffle
Butt ShuffleLV 4
Ed Marlo

Butt Shuffle is a variation of the Table Faro Shuffle that is performed in reverse. It's a version, where the bottom of the cards touches the surface and the interlacing occurs from bottom to top. Its main purpose is to imitate a Table Riffle Shuffle, creating the optical illusion of a standard table riffle, while in reality the cards interlace one-to-one.

Mockingbird
MockingbirdLV 7
Daren Yeow
2005

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.
