Snap-dragon
Snap-dragonLV 6
Weston Hamilton

Snap-dragon is a continuation for the One-Handed Shuffle that transforms the shuffled deck into a diamond-shaped structure. The deck is first pushed upward from underneath, causing the top cards to begin releasing from the interlace and form two packets resting against each other. Space is then created beneath the deck, allowing the cards to free themselves. The cards from the center are then slid inward toward each other, resulting in the characteristic rhombus shape. The name was created by the author because of the characteristic snapping sound made when forming the rhombus.

Tunnel Shuffle
Tunnel ShuffleLV 3
Unattributed Cardistry

The Tunnel Shuffle is an eye-catching shuffle based on a faro interlace, finished with a long bridge that resembles a tunnel-like structure. After the cards are interlaced, they are typically spread over the knee, then bent in a controlled way similar to a riffle bridge, creating a smooth, arched tunnel effect.

Thin Spring
Thin SpringLV 3
Dan & Dave

Thin Spring is a variation of the Spring, in which cards are released from the right hand into the left hand (or vice versa), forming a clean straight line in the air. During the move, the cards remain parallel to the ground while traveling between the hands.

LePaul Spread
LePaul SpreadLV 4
Paul LePaul

LePaul Spread is a card spreading technique performed entirely in the hands. It is created by springing the cards and arranging them into: a straight line a semicircle an "S" shape Since the flourish relies on pressure rather than the condition of the deck, it can be performed even with worn cards without losing its visual appeal. However, practicing with inexpensive or less valuable decks is recommended, as the technique carries a significant risk of permanent damage to the cards along their width.

Transfix
TransfixLV 4
Oliver Søgård
2012

Transfix is one of Oliver's most classic flourishes. It's a combination of two simple three-packet cuts, each of which can be performed on their own. A packet rotates out of the deck to create an arrow-formation before closing with a seemingly chaotic movement of packets. A special four-packet version by Tobias is also explained in the tutorial.

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.

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.
