Tunnel Shuffle
Tunnel ShuffleLV 3
Unattributed Cardistry

The Tunnel Shuffle is an eye-catching shuffle based on a faro interlace, finished with a long bridge that resembles a tunnel-like structure. After the cards are interlaced, they are typically spread over the knee, then bent in a controlled way similar to a riffle bridge, creating a smooth, arched tunnel effect.

Thin Spring is a variation of the Spring, in which cards are released from the right hand into the left hand (or vice versa), forming a clean straight line in the air. During the move, the cards remain parallel to the ground while traveling between the hands.

LePaul Spread
LePaul SpreadLV 4
Paul LePaul

LePaul Spread is a card spreading technique performed entirely in the hands. It is created by springing the cards and arranging them into: a straight line a semicircle an "S" shape Since the flourish relies on pressure rather than the condition of the deck, it can be performed even with worn cards without losing its visual appeal. However, practicing with inexpensive or less valuable decks is recommended, as the technique carries a significant risk of permanent damage to the cards along their width.

TransfixLV 4
Oliver Søgård
2012

Transfix is one of Oliver's most classic flourishes. It's a combination of two simple three-packet cuts, each of which can be performed on their own. A packet rotates out of the deck to create an arrow-formation before closing with a seemingly chaotic movement of packets. A special four-packet version by Tobias is also explained in the tutorial.
