A lot of the casts are adaptations of 2 handed casting on a single hand rod or perhaps it is the other way around. The purpose of many of those casts is to aerialize (new word) the line to eliminate drag from the water. Some are the opposite and made to position the line to achieve stick from the water to load the rod. Many are good to use when there is a shortage of room for a back cast. Some are for show or at least it appears that way to me. All will get a hook in you if you are not careful.

Can only cast with one hand, huh?
Didn't see anything 'trick' about them. Most everything he did was just spey techniques with a single handed rod and with some overly exaggerated moves. Why do I never hear heavy metal music when I'm out casting on the river? Does the music make it 'trick' or something?

I wouldn't call the hauled roll cast a trick cast ...but a good one.
What struck me was how effortless it was - almost looked like slow mo.
Watching that was pretty neat...but, as pointed out there are only one or two that I can see being useful (especially when there's an easier cast that will do basically the same thing.
