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.

2008

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

Corkscrew Closer
Corkscrew CloserLV 2
Kevin Ho
2007

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

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.

Phobos Deimos
Phobos DeimosLV 4
Noel Heath

Phobos Deimos is a move that revolves around floating cards and rotations. The cardist must first angel one card with one hand then hold another singular card in the lower hand. Then, both cars are displayed outwards towards the viewer. The deck is then rotated, with the card being "angeled" on the top thumb staying roughly in the same position. Then, the angeled card is moved downards along with the bottom hand moving the lower card upwards.
