One-Handed Triforce
One-Handed TriforceLV 10
Ryoma

One Handed Triforce is widely regarded as one of the most difficult moves in cardistry. It is a highly complex structure built from three interconnected triangles forming a stable formation. The construction process involves carefully separating additional packets and gradually sliding them into place under controlled tension. Origin Antoine Thomas tells the story of the trick: I did play legend of zelda myself and forming a one-handed triforce is an idea that has been tickling that fractal-friendly mind of mine ever since I did my first square struct. The complex nature of that particular structure obviously wouldn't allow me to do a quick and flashy formation, yet I wanted something pleasing to watch... The solution was to make the formation itself a crazy recasting sequence, made of structures like the pentagon, the square in pentagon, the house, and the triple triad, leading to that dream-come-true climax.

Mantra
MantraLV 7
Tobias Levin

Mantra is one of the greatest one handed cardistry of all time. The move itself involves cutting a deck into two halves, then holding the lower packet in the lower part of your hand. The upper packet is then split into two using your thumb, simultaneously dragging out a single card out and then later combining the middle and lower packet together, flaring out the single card.

Triforce
TriforceLV 4
Unattributed Cardistry

Triforce, also known as Russian Pyramid , is a pyramid-shaped display made of three closely connected triangles. Two building methods are commonly used: Using the long edges of the cards. Using the short edges of the cards, resulting in a taller structure.

MockingodLV 8
Nguyen Hoang Duy

Mockingod is a move in the cardistry community that is known as being difficult and taking a long period of time to fully master. Mockingod combines the moves Bobo III in the lower hand with two cards spinning in the upper hand. When done smoothly at high speeds, the cards look as if it is spinning rapidly.
