A similar trick play is a reverse, which often begins as an end-around. In a reverse, a ball-carrier running parallel to the line of scrimmage in one direction hands off to a teammate coming in the opposite direction. This abruptly reverses the lateral flow of the play; if the defense is slow to react, the second ball-carrier might make it around the end of the line to a near-open field. Variations of the basic reverse include the "double reverse" (which involves a second flow-reversing handoff), exceedingly rare "triple reverses" involving even more handoffs, the "fake reverse" described below, and the "reverse flea flicker".
