Gearbox

Kenneth Aidan Foo

Gearbox is a deceptively hard looking move that later reveals itself to be much easier than it seems. Gearbox features many spinning packets, and a unique final display. It is recommended to learn Sybil beforehand, but it is not striclty necessary.

Infinite Revolution is a modified version of Revolutoin cut, but the spinning never stops. It can simply go on forever or for "infinity" until the cardist wants to stop.

"Hannah and the Pirate Caves is a move I first posted in my cardistry video 'SPOTLIGHT'. It is my favorite packet cut I've come up with thus far. It's very knacky and will require an intermediate level of cardistry skills to learn, but I hope if you take on it's challenges, you will be rewarded. Once you get it down, it's extremely satisfying to do." Zach Mueller

2016

Lucid is a flourish performed in Daniel Lin's Cardistry Con Championship finals. It is a move with flashy spinning packets at its opener and then slows down to make way to a packet going around the hand with a mechanical movement as its closer so that all packets get side by side and are squared up.

Mockingbird
MockingbirdLV 7
Daren Yeow
2005

According to Leon Tai's knowledge, the move was first published on a forum called Singapore Magic Circle in 2005. Back then, Mockingbird was fairly simple compared to the full version we see today. It can be seen as a combination of the corner spin from Molecule 3 by Dan and Dave and the Tornado Cut. In Twisted Reality (2006), the flow improved significantly, and Daren stopped midway through the move to showcase the "3-packet display", making the flourish feel more complete. Three months later, an extended version of Mockingbird was released, but it was not until 2008 that Daren published the full version of the move, featuring the stunning display known as Twist of Fate. Nowadays, we often see people perform only the first phase of Mockingbird, and this iconic flourish becomes even more impressive when executed at high speed. This description is a short summary of Leon Tai's in-depth video essay on Mockingbird which is shown above.

Mockingod
MockingodLV 8
Nguyen Hoang Duy

Mockingod is a move in the cardistry community that is known as being difficult and taking a long period of time to fully master. Mockingod combines the moves Bobo III in the lower hand with two cards spinning in the upper hand. When done smoothly at high speeds, the cards look as if it is spinning rapidly.
