The Virts' signature moves. (to be updated)
5 moves · in order
First appearing in Liquid Paper in 2016, Snake Charmer was inspired by the opener of Kevin’s cut Satellite, Dan and Dave’s Molecule 3, and the closer of Tobias Levin’s Acridid. The right-hand cut is called Sputnik, a reference to the world’s first artificial satellite.
Backdrop is a simple flourish in which a single card is launched horizontally through the air from one hand to the other. The card is held under tension created by the index, middle, and ring fingers, secured by the thumb and little finger, then released with the little finger. The move is often combined with ATM as a clean and visually striking finisher. Created when Kevin was exploring the idea of shooting a card from the back-palm position. It was first introduced in his 2012 One-Card EP and was later added as the closer for Revolver.
Flicker is a move in which a singular card is spun around your fingers. This move can be useful in combos, and can be used in before perfomring the flicker shot.
Squeeze is a signature Virtuoso card flourish. The original tutorial was created specially for the Help Save Japan fundraising campaign the Virts organized to aid the Japanese tsunami disaster relief. It was released as a gift for a $25 donation.
