For this Ace Production, you'll need to know how to do my move Sick and Twisted Wings of the Mockingbird. - Kevin Ho

If you're familiar with the One Handed Top Palm, then this is one you'll definitely want to add to your arsenal. First one Ace appears out of nowhere, followed by all 4 all at once. It's an eye-catcher! - Kevin Ho

Here's another Ace Production from Smooth Operations. With a few simple maneuvers, the performer appears to use static electricity to make the four Aces appear in a line. - Kevin Ho

Fully LoadedLV 4
Kevin Ho
2008

This Ace Production was inspired by Ricky Jay's book "Cards as Weapons". The performer offers to demonstrate how a deck of cards can be like a gun by shooting a card in the air like a bullet, then reloads the card and proceeds to produce all 4 Aces, showing that he is indeed 'Fully Loaded'. - Kevin Ho

Tiny Hands
Tiny HandsLV 3
Scott Black

Tiny Hands is a visual illusion in which a single card is placed against the performer’s palm and gently pushed outward, creating the appearance that the card is floating just above the hand. The effect is typically enhanced by rotating the hand during the display, further reinforcing the illusion of suspension. important For Tiny Hands to function correctly, the performer’s palm must retain a slight amount of moisture to allow the card to adhere subtly to the skin. The creator explains this directly, stating that “to perform Tiny Hands, I use the moisture on the inside of the bottom of my lip.”

Fuck Physics is a move in which a packet of cards is tossed upward and returns to the hand at an unnatural angle. It consists of a simple cut that prepares a separated packet for the throw. The packet is then tossed in a specific way, causing it to return diagonally instead of following the expected perpendicular downward trajectory. A paid tutorial was announced for release on the NDO website in 2016, but the announcement was later cancelled as an April Fools' joke.

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.

Table Spread Shuffle
Table Spread ShuffleLV 6
Unattributed Cardistry

Table Spread Shuffle is a shuffling technique performed by spreading the cards across a flat surface. The cards are first spread out, then the outer corner of the leading cards is lifted to bring them upright. This motion pulls the remaining cards along, creating a self-standing structure of cards. The hands are released from the final cards, allowing them to fall gradually and smoothly, creating a domino-like effect. The move is often finished with a Cascade using the collected, still-interlaced cards.

Anti-Faro
Anti-FaroLV 10
Christian Engblom

Anti-Faro is known as one of the hardest moves in cardistry, the move perfectly interlaces the cards, just like a Faro Shuffle would, but using Spring. The technique springs the cards onto an open palm, where they slide across one another and spread apart. The cards are then gently slid toward the center, allowing for a more precise grip. Anti Faro was originally created as a slight of hand move to be used in a magic routine, but changed over time to being able to perfectly and mathematically interlace the cards one by one.

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.
