This category focuses entirely on card moves - from the basic cuts and shuffles to the bastard hard ones.
Literally hundreds if not thousands of card moves have been developed over time. You won't need to learn all of them, but any card man of name has in each basic move category (palm, control, false shuffle, false cut, false deal, glimpse, flourish, force, ...) one or two strong moves ready to use.
Once you have a solid grounding in the basic moves pretty much any card trick is accessible to you.
Practicing moves can have a zen like quality to it. Some achieve a naturalness similar to a musician, dancer or juggler. It looks effortless, but it can take thousands of hours of practice.
