Waves
WavesLV 3
Tobias Levin

Waves is a move that splits the deck into two packets, with the second packet being held in the lower part of the hand. Then, the index and thumb fingers strip off cards from the upper packet to fall into the lower packet. Waves is often considered a prerequisite for the move Mantra.

Running Scissor Cut
Running Scissor CutLV 4
Unattributed Cardistry

Running Scissor Cut, also known as a One-Handed Overhand Shuffle, is a continuation of the Scissor Cut that systematically strips off smaller packets from the main bottom packet. The move requires significant flexibility in the thumb muscles due to the need for an unusually wide thumb extension, creating space for the upper packet to drop.

Chase Duncan

BoBo III is a cut based on alternating rotations of two packets. The move begins by extracting the bottom packet with the thumb and little finger, then rotating it with the corner of the second packet. The second packet is subsequently rotated by extending the middle finger, which is then used once more to rotate the first packet and bring it to the top of the deck.
