Good morning cardists. I have recently been pondering Chris Kenner's classic Sybil cut (also called "Five faces of Sybil"), and I was wondering how many people still perform it? I know that it has MANY variants, some good, Gyroscope, and some bad, ASYBIL.

Lots of people still do Sybil. Even if they aren't doing the original Sybil cut, there are tons of Sybil-based cuts. I practice it as a mechanical exercise, just to see how smooth I can get it to look.

Thats great to know. When I first got into cardistry, one of the first things I learned was the Sybil. And it will always have a special place in my heart…

I started to cardistry with "Sybil Cut" . It has many variations like "947", "Dynamo Shuffle" . I do it 6-7 times in a day for practice. Some variations are great to use it as a card flourish. (My bad english :D )
