Sybil... Definition?

[spades]

Hey, so I've just started cardistry and so far so good.

I've learnt a few cuts and made up a few of my own.

I thought a good place to start would be sybils, as I heard them mentioned a lot. In the end I learnt Kevin Ho's sybil 947. But there are so many sybils, didn't really know where to start...

So what is the definition of a sybil? What makes a cut a sybil?

Thanks in advance

"Sybil" is a cut not a concept of cutting.

Ok... It just seemed that there were a lot of cuts called sybils...

The basic sybil is by Chris Kenner, but there are many applications of the cut used by many artists which is why you will have heard of many sybils.

Most cuts that have "Sybil" (or "Sible" as the case may be) in their name are variations on Chris Kenner's cut "Five Faces of Sybil." The actual cut "Sybil" is different. It still uses the "Sybil Z" (for lack of better descriptor). The cut that is closest to it is probably Genesis, by the Bucks, for which Kenner is actually credited.

Well first of all, the Sybil originated from Chris Kenner. The original concept cannot be changed.... well, we're only restricted to creating variations of the original concept So I guess, any cut/flourish that utilizes the style and 4 to 5 packet-swinging, as demonstrated by the original Sybil, yet in a somewhat different approach can be considered a Sybil cut. Watch more of other sybil videos and you'll get some inspiration to create your own.

sybil is a cut.....but there are a lot of variations for sybil. kevin ho's sybil 947 is a great variaton. CK 5 faces of sybil is also a good cut to variate.
