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

Mantra
MantraLV 6
Tobias Levin

Mantra is one of the greatest one handed cardistry of all time. The move itself involves cutting a deck into two halves, then holding the lower packet in the lower part of your hand. The upper packet is then split into two using your thumb, simultaneously dragging out a single card out and then later combining the middle and lower packet together, flaring out the single card.
