The Index Push Off is an easy, not so beginner friendly, One-Handed one card extension. It is fundamental for lots of flourishes and should be learned close to the start of one's cardistry Journey.

Created by Kenneth Aidan Foo, Fling (also known as Zippo) is a beginner-friendly, single-card fidget move. It features a smooth, continuous loop where a card pivots around the middle finger using the thumb.

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.

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.

Ribbon Spread, sometimes called 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. The move often ends with a turnover made by tracing across the deck using either a finger or a card or by lifting the first cards and pressing on them, turning over the subsequent cards. It is recommended to bevel the deck before spreading.

A cool way to flip a deck with style.

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

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.

This move was created by Brian Tudor.

A precise shuffle where two equal packets are woven together card-for-card, creating a perfectly interlaced deck. In cardistry, faro is often used as a technique for setting up or enabling moves, especially displays, weaves, and packet-based sequences.

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 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.
