Oddstyle 01 is a flourish created by Jaspas while he was experimenting with a different grip which is called Oddstyle Grip. It is the first one of a series of "Oddly Styled Moves cardistry moves", as jaspas said. This flourish opens with three packets of cars aligning vertically with each other, then they rotate to align again but horizontally.

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.

Butt Shuffle
Butt ShuffleLV 4
Ed Marlo

Butt Shuffle is a variation of the Table Faro Shuffle that is performed in reverse. It's a version, where the bottom of the cards touches the surface and the interlacing occurs from bottom to top. Its main purpose is to imitate a Table Riffle Shuffle, creating the optical illusion of a standard table riffle, while in reality the cards interlace one-to-one.

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.

Table Riffle Shuffle is a professional, efficient card shuffling technique widely used in magic, casinos, and competitive card games. It is performed on a table surface by riffling the long edges of the cards. Unlike the standard Riffle Shuffle, this method is less prone to exposing cards to players, making the shuffle more discreet.

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
Overhand ShuffleLV 3
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
