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.

Mockingbird
MockingbirdLV 7
Daren Yeow
2005

According to Leon Tai's knowledge, the move was first published on a forum called Singapore Magic Circle in 2005. Back then, Mockingbird was fairly simple compared to the full version we see today. It can be seen as a combination of the corner spin from Molecule 3 by Dan and Dave and the Tornado Cut. In Twisted Reality (2006), the flow improved significantly, and Daren stopped midway through the move to showcase the "3-packet display", making the flourish feel more complete. Three months later, an extended version of Mockingbird was released, but it was not until 2008 that Daren published the full version of the move, featuring the stunning display known as Twist of Fate. Nowadays, we often see people perform only the first phase of Mockingbird, and this iconic flourish becomes even more impressive when executed at high speed. This description is a short summary of Leon Tai's in-depth video essay on Mockingbird which is shown above.

Mockingod is a move in the cardistry community that is known as being difficult and taking a long period of time to fully master.

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.
