Backdrop is a simple flourish in which a single card is launched horizontally through the air from one hand to the other. The card is held under tension created by the index, middle, and ring fingers, secured by the thumb and little finger, then released with the little finger. The move is often combined with ATM as a clean and visually striking finisher. Created when Kevin was exploring the idea of shooting a card from the back-palm position. It was first introduced in his 2012 One-Card EP and was later added as the closer for Revolver.

Dropout is a fun and easy combo move which enables you to retain one or two cards in your hand after dropping a packet. It was first featured in Oliver's video 'Offhand' and has since become popular due to its practicality. Credits to Paul Harris for the Simple Switch and to Lonnie Dilan's for his move Bionic (the one card clip using the index and middle finger).

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.

A precise shuffle where two equal packets are woven together card-for-card, creating a perfectly interlaced deck. In cardistry, faro is often used as a technique for setting up or enabling moves, especially displays, weaves, and packet-based sequences.

A shuffle where two packets are held separately and their inner corners are released so the cards interlace together, usually followed by pushing or bridging the packets into one deck.

A dribble is a move where cards are released one by one from one hand into the other, creating a smooth falling stream of cards.

Squeeze is a signature Virtuoso card flourish. The original tutorial was created specially for the Help Save Japan fundraising campaign the Virts organized to aid the Japanese tsunami disaster relief. It was released as a gift for a $25 donation.

The Revolution Cut is a one-handed cut in which a packet is lifted, rotated around the lower packet, and closed back into the hand, creating a clean revolving motion.

The Scissor Cut is a fundamental one-handed cut in which the deck is divided into two packets and opened outward like a pair of scissors. The move is a building block for many classic two-handed packet cuts like Squeeze by Daren Yeow or Barolo 2 by Nikolaj Pedersen.

Discovered the move on a video call with Duy & Hung. When Hung randomly said something along the lines of I wish I could spin two cards in one hand. I attempted it and figured out the core mechanics within minutes. Simultaneously felt very blessed to have discovered it and cursed to be obligated to perfect it. I also blame Shiv for pushing me to do the move with packets. Wasted a lot of my time on this detour. As a result, I still have not built an iso routine around Double Barrel. - Daniel Lin

Originally, the Charlier Cut was developed as a secret maneuver for controlling cards (known as the Charlier Pass). Today, it is primarily performed as a visual display of skill (a flourish) or used to openly control cards.

In cardistry, "grips" refer to the specific, standardized ways of holding and balancing a deck of playing cards in your hand. They act as the foundational starting positions for virtually all flourishes, cuts, fans, and aerials. The way you hold the cards determines your control and the move you can transition into.
