Here's my newest video. One of my favourite colour changes.

I added a little single card convincer . Don't think it's taught anywhere, it's just a knack that I learnt from other videos.

Also, the card spring, I use my own technique of using just my middle finger and thumb. I think this gives a better control.

that was nice!
i dont think i've seen that card spin bit befor, it was nice.
congrats dude

very nice like the spin too, little techie point theres some glare on the cards which detracted from the effect a bit... still realy nice wish i could do that stuff.

Nice

I jhave never saw any of that before, where did you learn the change?

Horrible frame rate. I found it hard just to watch the change. Sorry, just had to point that out.

Sweet! I've never seen that before, you've got some skills!

Yeah, sorry about that. I tried to get the frame rate as high as possible by increasing the lighting but too much lighting caused alot of glare on the cards. I need a proper DV cam but (a)too expensive and (b)I need firewire for my computer.

Thanks guys. This move is taught Jean Hugard's Card Manipulations. It's a variation on Cardini's Colour Change. The spin as I said before I don't think is taught anywhere. I'm not sure.

Actually, to be honest, I didn't really learn the move from the book. I just figured it out from other's videos and assumed it was done this way. Now that I've got the book, I'm not 100% certain it's the way it's properly done. Either way, it works (in real life too).

Edit: Also, in the video, it was a bad spin. If I'm lucky, I can get around 3 spins on the single card convincer.

Edit: This video did take quite a few takes mainly because of my injury on my thumb!! A major deep cut on the thumb so handling thecards was painful indeed...

I have firewire, but (a) is the main problem for me

I'm sure you could just get a DV cam with a USB connection, as my iPod came with both connections, but they no longer do

Still, I don't really want to spend the money on it right now... Also, I think I'm putting my magic on a hold for a while until I get my studies done with.

So... two years without magic? YEAH RIGHT! lol. But I definitely won't be doing as much.

amazing

I only practice when I am on the computer or have some spare time. Hope your studies go well

this is taught by jean hugard right? In his book, what does he call this colour change or is it still reffered as cardinis colour change?

Cardini Snap Change.

As I said, I didn't fully understand his explanation so my version is probably totally incorrect lol.

Very nice Stevebo, still wondering if it was a tenkai (spelling?) palm or what, nicely done though

Nah, no tenkai.
