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.

Newton's Cradle is a flourish first debuted in the cardistry video Power Play. It is a simple moving display with a movement inspired by a Newton's cradle, thus the name, in which the cards slowly fall as energy is chained between them.

Spring Spin
Spring SpinLV 6
Antariksh Singh

Spring Spin is a flourish that adds a card on top of a normal spring. This additional card rapidly spins during the spring, set in motion by the cards being shot out and balancing on the edge of the deck

Under Pressure
Under PressureLV 4
Michael Vile

Under Pressure is a fan flourish in which the cards flow smoothly from one hand to the other, creating a graceful wave-like motion. The cards are spread in the same way as in a Pressure Fan. However, once the fan reaches an angle of approximately 45–90 degrees, the deck is no longer rotated. Instead, pressure is continuously applied while the cards are gradually released from the fingers at the corner, allowing them to flow smoothly into the non-dominant hand, which gathers the returning cards.

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.

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.

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.
