One-Handed Table Shuffle
One-Handed Table ShuffleLV 6
Unattributed Cardistry

One-Handed Table Shuffle is a technique that combines elements of both riffle and faro shuffling. Two aligned halves of the deck are placed close together at an angle. The index finger is then positioned at the point where the corners meet, lifting the packets upward while the remaining fingers press them together from the sides, allowing the cards to interlace.

A One-Handed flourish highly inspired by Tobias Levin's Waves. A flowy move that takes waves' idea and makes the packet slide in a fluid motion to the other packet.

Waves
WavesLV 4
Tobias Levin

Waves is a move that splits the deck into two packets, with the second packet being held in the lower part of the hand. Then, the index and thumb fingers strip off cards from the upper packet to fall into the lower packet. Waves is often considered a prerequisite for the move Mantra.

Charlier Triangle | Triple Charlier | DeltaLV 2
Unattributed Cardistry

Charlier Triangle, also known as the Triple Charlier or Delta (not to be confused with the two handed false cut Delta), consists of creating a triangle in one hand. This can be done with the other hand at the same time to create a visually interesting pattern.

Mantra
MantraLV 6
Tobias Levin

Mantra is one of the greatest one handed cardistry of all time. The move itself involves cutting a deck into two halves, then holding the lower packet in the lower part of your hand. The upper packet is then split into two using your thumb, simultaneously dragging out a single card out and then later combining the middle and lower packet together, flaring out the single card.

BoBo III
BoBo IIILV 5
Chase Duncan

BoBo III is a cut based on alternating rotations of two packets. The move begins by extracting the bottom packet with the thumb and little finger, then rotating it with the corner of the second packet. The second packet is subsequently rotated by extending the middle finger, which is then used once more to rotate the first packet and bring it to the top of the deck.
