Andrei Jikh

Trinity is an amazing move that allows you to effectively "duplicate" a charlier triangle in the right hand, then combine it back together into one triangle. When done smoothly at high speeds, it can look as if the second triangle magically appears.

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.

BoBo III is a cut based on alternating rotations of two packets. The move begins by extracting the bottom packet with the thumb and little finger, then rotating it with the corner of the second packet. The second packet is subsequently rotated by extending the middle finger, which is then used once more to rotate the first packet and bring it to the top of the deck.
