Can you believe that this move is 20 years old?? It first debuted in my solo video HFFH on CheatersCheater.com, and since then it's also been featured in the Virtuoso video RISE, where it acts as a segue from Satellite to Daren performing Andrew Avila's Piano Cuts. - Kevin Ho

If you're familiar with the One Handed Top Palm, then this is one you'll definitely want to add to your arsenal. First one Ace appears out of nowhere, followed by all 4 all at once. It's an eye-catcher! - Kevin Ho

Silicone is a 2-handed cut based on Dan and Dave's Madonna series, that ends in a 5-packet display inspired by the Tudor Cut. This move was also featured in Liquid Paper by Virtuoso. - Kevin Ho

This cut debuted in the ArrowDynamix v3 trailer, "ANYWAY". It's a pretty simple and direct application of both Charlier and Thumb Cut mechanics to create a repeating, intertwined sequence. - Kevin Ho

2008

An early version of this move first appeared in PURE, and its final form debuted in Test Room. Its origins stem from a one-handed cut I came up with in college that I didn't know what to do with until I had the idea to combine it with a Jaspas mechanic that he used in his video Passion. For those of you familiar with Snake Charmer, Satellite is that cut's predecessor. Same opener, different paths. - Kevin Ho

Most of you know this as the lead-in that I used for Revolver at the end of Liquid Paper, but it's also a great standalone cut by itself! Credit goes to Alejandro Portela aka TheCuso for his cut "Nebula", which accounts for the mechanic in the middle of this cut. - Kevin Ho

Some of you will remember this making its debut in Test Room over a decade ago. It's still one of my favorite Ace Productions to perform, and I hope you enjoy it too. - Kevin Ho

What if you could do The Werm... but faster? Instawerm is the answer to that. Practiced well, you can get in and out of it so fast that its effects will almost seem subliminal, causing your spectators to question whether they just saw you whip a large snake-like thing out in front of their faces. Um, perhaps I could've phrased that better... - Kevin Ho

I've never been able to do Ashford Kneitel's Tornado Cut, so in the mid-2000s I developed a method for doing a multiple corner-spin move using a different technique. Later on, I incorporated an opener that was shown to me by my friend Daren Yeow, and Twisty McVeigh was born. If you're familiar with my move Corkscrew Closer from YouTube, then something that I do sometimes is to combine Twisty McVeigh with that move, ending it all with Backdrop. Try it out, it's a fun combo! https://youtu.be/ibscuVw8QkU?si=bOm7O_wpzTcKi41E&t=47 - Kevin Ho

2008

This Ace Production was inspired by Ricky Jay's book "Cards as Weapons". The performer offers to demonstrate how a deck of cards can be like a gun by shooting a card in the air like a bullet, then reloads the card and proceeds to produce all 4 Aces, showing that he is indeed 'Fully Loaded'. - Kevin Ho

A Sybil variant with an aerial twist that I came up with in the mid-2000s. Some of you will recognize this from Liquid Paper, where it was combined with a Hot Shot Cut to create a two-person stunt. This one's a little knacky for sure, but a lot of fun to do once you get it down. - Kevin Ho
