I know i do this alot, but once i have some more free time I plan on giving something back to the board, for now i just need to know the name of the change were you flick one card at your finger tips and it changes, and the teaching material it comes from, I am able to do it, but my own way i just need to iron it a little,
cheers

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Is it the Snap Change? Try to provide a video of the effect that you're describing.

Yup sounds like the snap change. I think I brought it from PenguinMagic ages ago. Only 3 quid

Shapeshifter?

it is the snap change..its taught in .. i dont know.. everywhere

I had an idea that shapeshifter was an E exclusive, wasn't it?

In which case, then yes, deffo a snap-change

Well as I said I started with E stuff and it sounded like that change.

Easy assumption to make, MJ - the Shapeshifter is a nice move, and - more importantly for beginners (arguably E's target market) - is somewhat easier to master than the Snap-change.

That-aside, they're both eye-popping changes, and very visual.

The downside to the Shapeshifter? - The audience can work it out easily, unless you move on quickly.

The downside to the Snap-Change? It's much knackier to get down correctly, is angle-sensitive, and takes extra work to clean-up (the upside, though, is that the SC looks like real magic, and will keep the specs guessing for the rest of their lives!!! )

EDIT: It's nice to see someone, coming from an Ellusionist Intro to the art, and beginning to move out of their comfort-zone, Jim - how does it feel to be stepping into the wider wold of magic? (Time for a name-change - can I suggest, 'Chrysalis-Jim'? )

Is the snap change, without trying to give to much away, the change when you holding it closer to their face helps....um...not give it away?

Yup - although you can do at varying distances, with the same effect, so long as you have your angles sorted.

thanks for all the help this is the one that can be pulled into tenkai right?

i believe you are talking about Ed Marlo's Snap-colour change...

in various books, but you'll probably prefer the marlo dvds...watch a master at his work...
