nice move, but you really make it blindingly obvious that you put the other card back on the deck. I didn't know what all the fiddling around at the start was for either

Yeah - technically-nice change (albeit a little dark!), but waaay too much preamble, and the deck shouldn't really be tabled, but retained in the passive hand during the change, ready for the ditch.

Although the double undercuts and fans and other stuff were not perfect, I was actually quite impressed. Although unneccesary, it shows that you have learned something and that you can do many things in one video. It's boring to see some videos showing a 2 second clip of the snap change, so adding other stuff adds to the flare :).

May I ask where you learnt the majority of your sleights? Your double undercut was a bit awkward. Once you've taken the bottom packet, clip the packet between your index finger and your thumb so that there is a big gap to insert the packet to the top. Then use the length of your thumb to square the packet up with the rest of the deck.

Hope this helps! :D

You shoould learn the Jones change from Dan and Daves the Trilogy.

Looks just like the snap change but clean up is instant :wink:

I kinda disagree and even Dan Buck disagrees. The Jones Change is more of a camera friendly move and very hard to do in front of a real audience.

The Click Change on the other hand is a much better version of the snap change which happens in your deck hand and the clean up is better.

I assume that ID you actually mean the Click change?
