The Revolution Cut is a one-handed cut in which a packet is lifted, rotated around the lower packet, and closed back into the hand, creating a clean revolving motion.

In cardistry, "grips" refer to the specific, standardized ways of holding and balancing a deck of playing cards in your hand. They act as the foundational starting positions for virtually all flourishes, cuts, fans, and aerials. The way you hold the cards determines your control and the move you can transition into.

This move was created by Brian Tudor.

A ribbon spread (sometimes called a table spread) is a popular cardistry flourish and magic technique where a deck of cards is smoothly laid out in a long, overlapping line or wave across a flat surface.

A thumb fan is a classic card flourish and magic technique used to spread a deck of playing cards into an even, beautiful semi-circle. It is used by magicians to let spectators select a card, and by cardists as a visual display of skill.

LePaul Spread is a card spreading technique performed entirely in the hands. It is created by springing the cards and arranging them into: a straight line a semicircle an "S" shape Since the flourish relies on pressure rather than the condition of the deck, it can be performed even with worn cards without losing its visual appeal. However, practicing with inexpensive or less valuable decks is recommended, as the technique carries a significant risk of permanent damage to the cards along their width.

Originally, the Charlier Cut was developed as a secret maneuver for controlling cards (known as the Charlier Pass). Today, it is primarily performed as a visual display of skill (a flourish) or used to openly control cards.

A dribble is a move where cards are released one by one from one hand into the other, creating a smooth falling stream of cards.

The Scissor Cut is a fundamental one-handed cut in which the deck is divided into two packets and opened outward like a pair of scissors. The move is a building block for many classic two-handed packet cuts like Squeeze by Daren Yeow or Barolo 2 by Nikolaj Pedersen.

The Swing Cut is one of the best packet cuts to introduce to beginners in both cardistry and magic.

A cool way to flip a deck with style.

Spring is a fundamental cardistry technique where cards are released into the air in a controlled burst, used by both cardists and magicians. It relies on diagonal pressure built within the deck and released through the thumb. The move is widely used due to its high level of control, its versatility in use (it's required for e.g. LePaul Spread, Pressure Fan, Under Pressure Fan, and Antifaro), and its relatively low difficulty.
