We propose a novel approach to enable the agile manipulation of light- and dark-seeking particles. Our approach involves introducing a two-curvilinear perfect optical vortex beam (TC-POVB) generated by superimposing a pair of curved beams. The TC-POVB exhibits the property of a perfect optical vortex, which means that its size remains constant regardless of its topological charge. Additionally, each curve of the TC-POVB can support a distinct orbital flow density (OFD). This enables the application of torques to produce a dark channel that satisfies the requirements for particle size and drives the revolution or rotation motion of the confined dark-seeking particles. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we manipulate light- and dark-seeking particles experimentally, making them perform various curvilinear trajectories simultaneously, including moving, revolving, and rotating.
