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.

Hindu Shuffle
Hindu ShuffleLV 3
Unattributed Cardistry

Hindu Shuffle is a simple shuffle originating from Asia and is commonly used in many Eastern regions. It begins by taking a substantial portion of cards from the bottom of the deck with the dominant hand, then stripping off small packets into the other hand. Its mechanics are similar to the Strip Cut, with the key difference that it is performed entirely in the hands, without using a table or other surface.

Overhand Shuffle

Unattributed Cardistry

Overhand Shuffle is one of the easiest and most common ways to shuffle a pack of cards. It's a great shuffle for magicians to use since lay people are already familiar with it, and because there are some great controls and false shuffles that can be done while shuffling the deck in this manner. The shuffle is commonly used in western countries. References The description above is adapted from the 52Kards video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0J_487VquE

Trinity

Trinity is an amazing move that allows you to effectively "duplicate" a charlier triangle in the right hand, then combine it back together into one triangle. When done smoothly at high speeds, it can look as if the second triangle magically appears.

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.
