Anaconda
AnacondaLV 7
Bone Ho

Anaconda, known as The World’s Longest Dribble is a classic aerial flourish. It creates a long, snake-like column of cards in the air, which then is controlled as it falls into the other hand. In general, the larger the “snake”, the stronger the visual impact.

L-Cuts are known for their difficulty and beauty. Created by Jerry Cestkowski and published in his book "Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes" in 2002. Over the past 8 years, David Pedersen has been perfecting it, and gathering important pointers on how to reach ninja-level. We hope this video will help you polish up your L-Cuts.

Created Flutter first in 2020. For quite some time it was just a one-hand combo move. But then I realized it had to be part of a four packet spinny move and spent the next 3 years figuring out how to make that happen. While I don't know how to do Mockingbird or Nimbus the structure of Hummingbird is very much inspired by those two moves. Had 90% of the structure decided by 2022 and after a lot of iterating settled on the current iteration in 2024. I hope to be able to do it with a full deck some day. We'll see if I ever figure that out.

Inspired by Excuse Me by Henrik Forberg. Yang was trying to pick up the move while incidentally created a new mechanic that still has the same spirit as Excuse Me. The name Windrunner is a direct reference to a character from Warcraft III.
