Do any of you guys have your own names for freestyle tricks that you use in circle hacking? No one in my group ever thought of looking up the real names to the tricks until recently, so we have some pretty unique ones.

Illusion = Impossible
Mirage = Leperchaun
Hop Over = Legleg

How about you?

It's been so damn long since I've adopted 'official' lingo that I can't remember anything other than the 'dragon's tail', which was a blind backwards swing-stab with the sole of your foot. The most important part of this move was that you had to yell 'dragon's tail' as obnoxiously as possible while attempting it.

legleg is an awesome name.

When I was in highschool a friend of mine invented a trick he named "I Pity Da Foo'" a la "Mr. T". Basically it's a glorified toe-up when you wedge the bag between your two inside surfaces when it's on the ground. Then you do like a karate jump kick but flick the back side ways so it goes into the circle.

I'm sure it's been done before in some form or another.

We used to bust out the "jester" constantly in high school, but we sometimes didnt dex the knee,and called it "black magic". If someone did dex with the knee we sometimes called it "illusion of black magic". Occasionally ive heard inside stalls be called "boats" but i never adopted the term....

We (the ninja jedi hack pixies) have all manner of bizarre and rediculous names for moves and non-moves. when bended knee gets in the way of a simple kick up it's called a Tony (toe-Knee). A market stall? (squat to catch hack between legs) is often called the ball stall. To catch between chin and shoulder is called a bee gee! (so long as you adopt the saturday night fever pose!) Many more far too zany (and colloquial to mention) Finally if someone 'saves a hack' when it's gone behind them it's often called "Behind whoever's scenes" as in that was well behind dave's scenes!

In school we don't have different names for them, but we have one called "The Jimmy". The only reason it's called this is because Jimmy is the only one with a long enough neck to do it. Laughing

Hello everybody, I saw a magician "levitate" a playing card and it looked awesome. You can buy it but I don’t know if it really works like that or is a piece of crap. It says it doesn’t use mirrors, magnets, or string. Does anyone know how to do the levitating card trick? If any of you know how this works or you have one please tell me and inform me about it. Thanking you,

One move (which i admit took a while) is the back bender where you scorpion (stall and bring sack back over your head) and stall it after it has come back around. Repeating this hurts your back.
