Super Fan
Super FanLV 5

Super Fan is a fan in which interlaced cards slowly expand into a circular display under tension. Mechanics The cards are positioned similarly to a Cascade, forming a "V" shape. The interlaced section is supported with the other hand, while the thumb and middle finger grip the outer ends and bring them together. When the hand is moved away, the stored pressure causes the cards to rotate around pivot point, creating the characteristic fan. Variations So far, only one variation is known: A fully one-handed version, including the interlacing and tensioning of the cards. References Nanh Kiem, https://www.instagram.com/p/BVXNG82gt4n/

The Birth of Ora Cascade The day started like any other until The Virts dropped their first Instagram video featuring the Virtuoso Launch Edition deck. Daren Yeow unveiled Waterwheel for the first time, and the cardistry world lit up. The move was hypnotic and instantly iconic. I was completely hooked. But I was also frustrated. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t nail the perfect one-handed faro Waterwheel demanded. After weeks of grinding, I finally decided to take a break from forcing it. In that downtime, I sat back and started thinking about creating something comfier and easier for myself. That’s when I decided to experiment from a regular cascade position, where a normal faro felt natural and controllable. Out of that session came what I originally called Orakusa. The move originally featured a “bloom” phase where the cards opened up beautifully before cascading down. I eventually removed the bloom because it shortened the cascade too much and hurt the overall flow. Over time, most people started calling it Ora. I completely forgot the original meaning behind “Orakusa” (it was that long ago), so I just rolled with it and quietly shortened the name to Ora Cascade. What began as a workaround for Waterwheel became one of my signature moves. A reminder that sometimes the best creations come from adapting to your current limits instead of stretching for perfection. - Zomb Tien

Then it spins and the structure starts to collapse and it closes with a "bite" and spin to square up.
