Wow, this was an impressive one. Good thing you posted it :D.
I don't even know how ego change is done but maybe I'll find out now and start practicing it.

That was very good indeed. Usually when I watch these sort of changes, the magician doesn't show the palm. So this was really good. Other than that, I can see how it's done.

I tell you, I always thought that one of the problems that I had with the classic pass would be a useful sleight or is even a sleight. :)

LOL

Keep up the good work and thanks for teaching? me the ego change? :P

OK. I'll try and explain what I meant before.

I heard of ego change. My friend taught me how it works. But I could never do it very well. So I didn't practice it very much.

Then, I learnt the pass. While practicing the pass, I had a specific problem which I kept encountering. I don't encounter it very much anymore.

But after watching your video, and remembering how I had learnt this sleight before, and also now it related to my problem with the pass, I now have re-learnt this sleight and I thank you for re-teaching it to me. :)

I hope that makes more sense.

Ah... I see. I think I understand where your getting at now! and I think I know what problem you're talking about then. But don't say I "taught" you because I didn't really lol. Makes it sound like I'm doing something I shouldn't be... which is teaching something that isn't mine.

Sorry about that then. By the way, what does the two Chinese characters in your signature say/mean? I can't believe I can't even read my own language...

I want to cry Stevebo.. That looks awesome.

But I have a suggestion, if I didn't know you I could say this was edited-trick just because of the flash screen when you did the change.

Look at the first post now... I've added another video. The same one but no flash and added a Bertram change to it.

LOL ^

Anyways, I assumed that much that it was your name, but how do I read it. Gotta learn you know. :) Dam... maybe I should have been more specific again. Bah, my bad again. Sorry.

Anyways, really nice. The bertram change was good also. Liked the flourish I think it was on the right also. :P

Stevebo, despite what others have said I personally think you need to work a lot more on your Ego Change! Got you! Seriously now, your Ego change was a piece of work! It was brilliant! The editing was awesome and I thought the soundrack really suited the performance. I thought the way the change was in sync with the music was quite powerful (you did do that on purpose, didn't you?) and the hand choreography and presentation was top notch - I loved the way you flashed the empty hand before you made the change and the way you displayed the Jack of Diamonds with a deck rotation and then a pause. Now where is the rest of the footage? Surely after a year you would have a few more things to show us! :wink:
