Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

Very sweet, I loved your Ego to Shapeshifter and the erndase to snap was well done two!

I started to practice Ego and Snap but I have bad arthritis and it has concentrated on my hand at the moment and I have lost the use of my thumb/right hand at the moment making slights a trifle difficult at present.

Good work keep at it!

I made my wife dissapear just by arguing with her!!!

Ehy, thank you all :D

5 min after I posted it, someone rated me with the worst rating possible, so I started thinkin' those changes wasn't good...

Really, thank you :)

do you have any tips on where i could learn stuff like that, books dvds etc
I can tell you where I've learnt them:
Ego change - Daniel Garcia, Project 1
Erdnase change - born to perform card magic (Oz Pearlman)
The Snap change is quite easy to understand, if you watch it over and over ;)
Finally, on Ellusionist you can find shapeshifter.

Very very nicely done Elf. I like your double, it really does look good to me.

Only thing is that in the spirit of the other changes why not make the Erdnase a little more visual? A lot of people seem to do it this way but personally I prefer having the fingers spread the whole time - done right it looks like the card openly changes.

well, a friend of mine watchin' the video said that the erdnase change was the best part of the trick, since the fingers are close then they open and... card changed!!

Anyway I never see anyone doing the erdnase change the way you say... I will surely wark on it, at least to see how it looks.
Thank you :)
