Anti-Faro
Anti-FaroLV 10
Christian Engblom

Known as one of the hardest moves in cardistry, Anti Faro takes significant amounts of time and practice to perfect and master. The move itself perfectly interlaces the cards, just like a Faro shuffle would. Anti Faro was originally created as a slight of hand move to be used in a magic routine, but changed over time to being able to perfectly and mathematically interlace the cards one by one.

Butt Shuffle
Butt ShuffleLV 4
Ed Marlo

Butt Shuffle is a variation of the Table Faro Shuffle that is performed in reverse. It's a version, where the bottom of the cards touches the surface and the interlacing occurs from bottom to top. Its main purpose is to imitate a Table Riffle Shuffle, creating the optical illusion of a standard table riffle, while in reality the cards interlace one-to-one.

Donut Fan
Donut FanLV 4
Nikita Yatsik

The Donut Fan is a highly visual display flourish based on a thumb fan. The fan is thrown into the air, allowing the falling cards to land on the hands and form a large donut-like shape. There are two main variations: A standard thumb fan transformed into a donut shape, where the cards are loosely spread apart. An interlaced thumb fan that is expanded into a larger donut, creating a much tighter and more structured formation.
