Mobius is when the slipknot comes off your finger and is actively involved in the trick. What he described was 5a but without the counterweight. ---

moebius is more of a 1a variant, whereas this is a 5a variant. unfortunately though, pretty much everything has been thought of. so it’s pretty difficult to come up with a new style of playing. ---
