Budget Cuts is a running one-handed flourish taught in the Cardistry High project that was created by a partnership of Zach Mueller and Noel Heath to teach original moves created by both of them.

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.

This was actually one of, if not the first cut I created (my memory gets a bit hazy with cuts from that time). Back in mid-2015, I'd been doing cardistry for about 6 months and I had this cut minus the closer. Luckily, I happened to see a cut by Hisnent (one of my all-time biggest inspirations) where he closed packets at the end like a book. I simply took his closer and made a slightly "flow-ier" version for my own cut. -- Backett Behel

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.

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.

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.

Here's a little ditty that I've been using for a while - it's just one of those things I really enjoy doing, especially as a part of my warm-up practice. It's nothing original, other than the order the different elements of the cut are in (hence the name). And while it's not my greatest work, I hope it encourages those watching to discover fun and visually stylistic combinations of their own to play around with. Thanks for reading! - Kevin Ho

It's been over half a year since I've posted a tutorial, so I figured it was time to make a new one. There are a lot of flashy multiple-packet cuts out there, but the real challenge is to make something just as nice with only two. I've been using this for a while (some of you may recognize it from HFFH), and as of late the handling has been changed to have it end with Huron's amazing deck spin, Swivel. He graciously gave me permission to teach this move, so do give credit where credit is due and offer a prayer to the big H every time you perform this. Special thanks to Michael Stern, music by The Bravery - Kevin Ho

Stands for "Kevin's First Cut". A very fun and easy flourish to get started with packet cuts.
