I'm afraid I can't help with the cuts as I don't have the trick however I think I might be able to help with the shapeshifter change. As you snap the card, and your fingers release from the card, pull them down and away from the card at the same time. For example, if you are holding the card in your right hand and snapping it with the left hand, pull your left hand to the left as you snap the card. Hopefully that will sort out the problem. If it still isn't working PM me and I'll go into a bit more detail (which isn't possible I'm afraid, in the open forums, without tipping the method). Good luck
