Satellite
SatelliteLV 5

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

Many of you probably already do Backdrop, but in case you don't: you're in luck! Granted, I've taught this before in the One-Card EP and it's also been divulged by various other sources (with fluctuating accuracy). So to give this tutorial some added value, I've included instructions for Ricochet, a neat add-on that you can combine with Backdrop to create a blink-and-you'll-miss-it flourish that goes back and forth in a split second. - Kevin Ho

Roundabout
RoundaboutLV 4

2007

This one's close to my heart. I used Roundabout to open my video Void Deck from 2007, and it's shown up in different forms like in Portable Playground over the years. Roundabout combines portions of Sybil with my move 2πr. It's smooth, feels good, and overall it's quite easy to learn and do. - Kevin Ho

2006

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

UDC
UDCLV 3

2020

What if you could do the Charlier Cut... upside-down? That's precisely the premise of the UDC, a move that's a bit knacky to get down (and does require moderately-sized hands to pull off), but can be quite flashy, especially if done in looping succession with both hands. - Kevin Ho

Twisty McVeigh
Twisty McVeighLV 6
Kevin Ho
2007

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

For this Ace Production, you'll need to know how to do my move Sick and Twisted Wings of the Mockingbird. - Kevin Ho

A corner spin with a little kick to it, very fun and visual. For more tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-RTTWZYS7c

INSO
INSOLV 3
Joey Cardist, Sergio Roca

INSO by Joey Cardist and Sergio Roca is an flexible angel-based isolation mixed with huron's flicker. In the move, the angeled card moves rapidly left and right, while the other hand performs synchronously flicker. This motion is visually interesting and helps create an almost surreal sense to the move.
