First featured at Daniel lin's solo cardistry video Shapes in the Dark, Netsky is a flourish that has multiple packets moving at the same time, packets mechanically rotating and then a flick to close it.
A One-Handed flourish highly inspired by Tobias Levin's Waves. A flowy move that takes waves' idea and makes the packet slide in a fluid motion to the other packet.
Featured for the first time at the cardistry performance video Blitz on the Lotus In Hand Youtube channel.
Riffle Fan is created by evenly spreading the cards into a circular fan while riffling them. The entire fan is balanced on the tip of the index fingernail or thumbnail, allowing the cards to slide and rotate around a central pivot. The main challenge is finding the right balance between gravity and support. Applying too much upward pressure prevents the cards from sliding smoothly, while too little causes the fan to collapse.
Canvas by Nikolaj Pedersen is a clean three-packet cut with new and very distinct mechanics. Attention to simplicity and movement leaves you - the performer - more room for interpretation than usual. It is a fresh canvas waiting for you to paint with your personal brush.
Lucid is a flourish performed in Daniel Lin's Cardistry Con Championship finals. It is a move with flashy spinning packets at its opener and then slows down to make way to a packet going around the hand with a mechanical movement as its closer so that all packets get side by side and are squared up.
A flourish that has first appeared at the first round submission from Daniel Lin for the Cardistry Con Championship 2016. The flourish has 2 packs of cards tumbling and falling to make a quick 3 packet display with alternate back and face sides appearing before closing.
First appearing in Liquid Paper in 2016, Snake Charmer was inspired by the opener of Kevin’s cut Satellite, Dan and Dave’s Molecule 3, and the closer of Tobias Levin’s Acridid. The right-hand cut is called Sputnik, a reference to the world’s first artificial satellite.
In order to understand and appreciate the art of cardistry combos, one must gather knowledge of as many moves as possible. Simplicity and practicality plays an important role when you're combining and/or improvising. Through the years, we've come across many different utility moves with different appearance and levels of simplicity. One we always come back to is Legolove by Nikolaj Pedersen. It is based off the classic Molecule rotation using the corners, and was first taught in the "Dynamite" tutorial series from 2011. It has become a part of our cardistry subconscious, and is a must-learn for every modern cardist. Sit back, grab a pack of cards, and learn Nikolaj's Legolove.
This is Eliot's take on Daren Yeow's Squeeze Cut. It's a flashy two-handed packet cut with various rotations and a swirly flow.
Although this is one of Tobias' oldest flourishes, it's also one of his most popular and requested. Phaced is a variation of Joey Burton's Skater Cut. In this tutorial you will hear how this move was created and get an in-depth walkthrough of the mechanics.
