Alcubierre
AlcubierreLV 4
Beckett Behel

"Now for a bit of history behind the move, I created Alcubierre's predecessor, Colour Drive, as a fiddle move back in June of 2016. For several months, I kept Colour Drive the way it was until I realized I could make it a five-packet cut. At this point, I decided I wanted the new cut's name to reference Colour Drive. The name Colour Drive had no meaning (someone suggested it to me and I happened to like it), but the name reminded of the Sci-Fi concept of a warp drive. After bit of Googling, I settled on the name Alcubierre, because an idea/concept for a real-life warp drive called the Alcubierre Drive was proposed back in 1994." -Beckett Behel

Revolver has had many iterations and variations throughout the years, but the version you've seen in Portable Playground 2 and Liquid Paper is its definitive form. - Kevin Ho

Nimbus is a cut consisting of three spinning packets. The move first debuted as part of the NB3 project (short for Nimbus, Bowtie, and 3D), released by Theory11 on its online store, and was later made publicly available on YouTube on October 4, 2013, through the Theory11 channel. If spinning the packets proves difficult, using a thinner deck or a partial deck is recommended.

Diva is a continuous two-handed flourish with multiple packets that rotate and square up ceaselessly. "Diva is a fairly easy flourish to learn and perform, it premiered in my solo 'MAESTRO'"

Andrei Jikh

A signature move from the mind of Andrei Jikh, the b4 is a multi-phased cardistry sequence that demonstrates smooth, swift card handling. Taught in 12 minutes of detailed instruction by Andrei Jikh - and filmed in high definition in theory11's Las Vegas headquarters. A unique flourish that you will have fun learning and integrate into your cardistry arsenal. This move was originally created by Andrei as an entry into one of theory11's weekly Saturday Night Contests. Needless to say - he took home the prize.
