Packet Muscle Pass
Packet Muscle PassLV 4
Samuel Pratt

Packet Muscle Pass is a striking aerial cardistry move where a 10-15 card packet is shot horizontally between hands using pure built-up tension. By heavily bending the cards and instantly releasing the pinky finger, the packet dynamically flips 180 degrees mid-air with minimal hand movement.

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

2008

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

2004

Can you believe that this move is 20 years old?? It first debuted in my solo video HFFH on CheatersCheater.com, and since then it's also been featured in the Virtuoso video RISE, where it acts as a segue from Satellite to Daren performing Andrew Avila's Piano Cuts. - Kevin Ho
