"It started more as a combo, but i've added enough elements over time that it's become its own move at this point" -Dom Corrado

Created Flutter first in 2020. For quite some time it was just a one-hand combo move. But then I realized it had to be part of a four packet spinny move and spent the next 3 years figuring out how to make that happen. While I don't know how to do Mockingbird or Nimbus the structure of Hummingbird is very much inspired by those two moves. Had 90% of the structure decided by 2022 and after a lot of iterating settled on the current iteration in 2024. I hope to be able to do it with a full deck some day. We'll see if I ever figure that out.

"Hannah and the Pirate Caves is a move I first posted in my cardistry video 'SPOTLIGHT'. It is my favorite packet cut I've come up with thus far. It's very knacky and will require an intermediate level of cardistry skills to learn, but I hope if you take on it's challenges, you will be rewarded. Once you get it down, it's extremely satisfying to do." Zach Mueller

Throwback is a flourish inspired by Kevin Ho's Backdrop grip. It opens with the same grip and positioning as Backdrop and then is spun by the middle finger.

2016

Lucid is a flourish performed in Daniel Lin's Cardistry Con Championship finals. It is a move with flashy spinning packets at its opener and then slows down to make way to a packet going around the hand with a mechanical movement as its closer so that all packets get side by side and are squared up.
