Fuck Physics is a move in which a packet of cards is tossed upward and returns to the hand at an unnatural angle. It consists of a simple cut that prepares a separated packet for the throw. The packet is then tossed in a specific way, causing it to return diagonally instead of following the expected perpendicular downward trajectory. A paid tutorial was announced for release on the NDO website in 2016, but the announcement was later cancelled as an April Fools' joke.
