Here's a little ditty that I've been using for a while - it's just one of those things I really enjoy doing, especially as a part of my warm-up practice. It's nothing original, other than the order the different elements of the cut are in (hence the name). And while it's not my greatest work, I hope it encourages those watching to discover fun and visually stylistic combinations of their own to play around with. Thanks for reading! - Kevin Ho

King slinger was originally taught on CARDISTRY HIGH, and King Slinger 2 is an add-on that adds a second single card to the ending of the move. King Slinger is a one card flourish that is essentially a combination of KING CHARMING and GUN SLINGER. King Charming is my variation on *Prince Charming *by Oliver Sogard. Gun slinger is a variation of Bullet by Andrei Jikh. -Zach Mueller This tutorial features King Slinger and King Slinger 2
