Every now and then when I do a scissor cut, one card kind of flys out. I don't intend it to happen, but I figure it would be cool to be able to do it on demand. I can't figure out why it happens though as it's always a surprise! Does anyone know how to do it, and if there are any moves based on it?

Happens to me regularly, where the card flips over on itself. I've never been able to do it on demand, although it does look pretty cool.

Yeah, it does look cool right :-)

It's a weird thing where a single card comes off the bottom packet mid-scissor and does a flip as you do the scissor cut. It only happens when I do it fast so I never really get a chance to see what's going on to learn it from myself. The flipped card ends up the wrong way in the middle of the deck.

I assume it's similar to what she does at 9:00 min mark. Only you pull the card with your index from the bottom. Most likely you flip the out jogged card with the closing packets.

That's a cool move, but my card is coming from the bottom of the top pack I believe.

Yeah that happens to me all the time and I’ve tried to be able to do it on purpose for a long time but idk if there’s a way

Maybe someone will figure it out one day!

It appears that it happens to many people but no one has been able to turn it to a move

Ah, well at least I'm not the only one!

Yeah there are fluorishes that use similar one card technique, if I remember correctly saw Ekaterina mention it in one of her videos.
