American magician Chris Kenner published "Totally Out of Control" in 1992, an instructional book concerning magic tricks with household objects. On page 125 was a two-handed flourish he called "The Five Faces of Sybil". Making use of all fingers, the ending face of Sybil displays five distinct packets. Kenner referred to Sybil in his book as "a quick cut flourish to demonstrate skill and dexterity". The cut became the most notable creation from "Totally Out of Control" and would eventually form the nucleus of what is now known as cardistry. Kevin Pang of "Vanity Fair" magazine remarked that "every cardist can deftly perform Sybil the way guitarists can run through a blues progression".
