Padiddle is more of a concept than a move. It is very tough to learn because it is not something you can sit down and do slowly - it's all about trial and error. But once you have gotten it down, it's like riding a bike. It will be build into your muscle memory. Special credit to Jerry Cestkowski who published this in his book "Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes" in 2002.

In order to understand and appreciate the art of cardistry combos, one must gather knowledge of as many moves as possible. Simplicity and practicality plays an important role when you're combining and/or improvising. Through the years, we've come across many different utility moves with different appearance and levels of simplicity. One we always come back to is Legolove by Nikolaj Pedersen. It is based off the classic Molecule rotation using the corners, and was first taught in the "Dynamite" tutorial series from 2011. It has become a part of our cardistry subconscious, and is a must-learn for every modern cardist. Sit back, grab a pack of cards, and learn Nikolaj's Legolove.

Yang Nguyen
2017

Inspired by Excuse Me by Henrik Forberg. Yang was trying to pick up the move while incidentally created a new mechanic that still has the same spirit as Excuse Me. The name Windrunner is a direct reference to a character from Warcraft III.
