Prestige Isolation
Prestige IsolationLV 2
Jaspas
2013

Prestige Isolation is a simple isolation flourish that combines a fan with a single isolated card. The move traditionally begins with a fan created using the Side Pressure Fan technique, although a similar final effect can also be achieved with other fans, such as the Thumb Fan. A single card is then extracted from the fan and rotated in the style of the Rotation Isolation. The creator named the move after The Prestige (2006), drawing inspiration from the film's theme of magic.

Super Fan
Super FanLV 5

Super Fan is a fan in which interlaced cards slowly expand into a circular display under tension. Mechanics The cards are positioned similarly to a Cascade, forming a "V" shape. The interlaced section is supported with the other hand, while the thumb and middle finger grip the outer ends and bring them together. When the hand is moved away, the stored pressure causes the cards to rotate around pivot point, creating the characteristic fan. Variations So far, only one variation is known: A fully one-handed version, including the interlacing and tensioning of the cards. References Nanh Kiem, https://www.instagram.com/p/BVXNG82gt4n/

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.

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.

Under Pressure

Under Pressure is a fan flourish in which the cards flow smoothly from one hand to the other, creating a graceful wave-like motion. The cards are spread in the same way as in a Pressure Fan. However, once the fan reaches an angle of approximately 45–90 degrees, the deck is no longer rotated. Instead, pressure is continuously applied while the cards are gradually released from the fingers at the corner, allowing them to flow smoothly into the non-dominant hand, which gathers the returning cards.

Pressure Fan is known as one of the most satisfying fans in all of cardistry. You put pressure on the right part of the deck and then continue to fan out the cards entirely, creating a semicircle. The cards are released by the fingers at the corner of the deck.

Faro 2

Faro 2 is a unique move that involves splitting the deck into two pieces, then spread them out. After this, interlace the two halves together by bending them into each other. You can then perform a bridge, or go into another move.
