Smorgasbord has virtually no standard grips and some very odd mechanics, which means I needed to make the specifics of this cut sink in as much as possible -- Beckett Behel

I encourage you to learn Rust to a decently competent level before attempting Rust 2.0. Also make sure the deck you use is broken-in. It can be done with new cards, but it would save you a lot of trouble if you don't do that right away. -- Beckett Behel

The creator named the foundational move Feldspar simply after the mineral, just because he thought it sounded pretty cool.

27/10/2020

One-Handed Spring is a niche variation of the Spring. Its mechanics are similar to those of the traditional Spring, but the challenge lies in thumb placement. The thumb must be positioned precisely to allow the remaining cards to release smoothly, as they tend to catch against the fleshy pad of the thumb.

Running Scissor CutLV 4
Unattributed Cardistry

Running Scissor Cut, also known as a One-Handed Overhand Shuffle, is a continuation of the Scissor Cut that systematically strips off smaller packets from the main bottom packet. References Dan & Dave discussing this move (5:06-7:54) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m0mjWI7m1Y

One-Handed Triforce
One-Handed TriforceLV 10
Ryoma

One Handed Triforce is widely regarded as one of the most difficult moves in cardistry. It is a highly complex structure built from three interconnected triangles forming a stable formation. The construction process involves carefully separating additional packets and gradually sliding them into place under controlled tension. Origin Antoine Thomas tells the story of the trick: I did play legend of zelda myself and forming a one-handed triforce is an idea that has been tickling that fractal-friendly mind of mine ever since I did my first square struct. The complex nature of that particular structure obviously wouldn't allow me to do a quick and flashy formation, yet I wanted something pleasing to watch... The solution was to make the formation itself a crazy recasting sequence, made of structures like the pentagon, the square in pentagon, the house, and the triple triad, leading to that dream-come-true climax. References quote from the description of video from XCM Vlog by Antoine on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BmP9GS8vdo&list=PLB6795B5456D9D846

Kryptonite
KryptoniteLV 4
Dan & Dave

Kryptonite is a complex one-handed flourish that divides the deck into multiple packets. Its difficulty and visual appeal come from rotating one packet while maintaining a demanding grip on the remaining packets, keeping them separate throughout the move.

Yo!
Yo!LV 5
Lee Asher

Yo! is a one-handed move where the cards are spread in the air. The deck is tossed as high as possible to create a brief illusion of a perfectly still, straight “tower” of cards.
