Kryptonite
KryptoniteLV 4
Dan & Dave

Kryptonite is a complex one-handed flourish that divides the deck into multiple packets. Its difficulty and visual appeal come from rotating one packet while maintaining a demanding grip on the remaining packets, keeping them separate throughout the move.

Scissor Cut
Scissor CutLV 2
Unattributed Cardistry

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.

Thumb Cut
Thumb CutLV 2
Unattributed Cardistry

A thumb cut is a simple one-handed cardistry cut where the thumb lifts or pushes a packet of cards away from the deck, separating it from the main packet. The packet is then moved, rotated, or dropped back to complete the cut. This is one of the moves that is most affected by your hand size. If you are having trouble pulling this move off, try doing it with 3/4 of the deck.

One-Handed Shuffle
One-Handed ShuffleLV 6
Unattributed Cardistry

A One-Handed Shuffle is a technique of shuffling cards using a faro-style interlace performed with a single hand. The quality of the shuffle is heavily dependent on the condition of the deck, especially the sharpness and precision of the card edges.

Running Scissor Cut
Running Scissor CutLV 4
Unattributed Cardistry

Running Scissor Cut, also known as a One-Handed Overhand Shuffle, is a continuation of the Scissor Cut that systematically strips off smaller packets from the main bottom packet. The move requires significant flexibility in the thumb muscles due to the need for an unusually wide thumb extension, creating space for the upper packet to drop.

I encourage you to learn Rust to a decently competent level before attempting Rust 2.0. Also make sure the deck you use is broken-in. It can be done with new cards, but it would save you a lot of trouble if you don't do that right away. -- Beckett Behel

Smorgasbord has virtually no standard grips and some very odd mechanics, which means I needed to make the specifics of this cut sink in as much as possible -- Beckett Behel
