Colour Changes

Postby Pitto » May 25th, '06, 15:02



Hi,

I recently got Card College 1-5 (from www.nothingupmysleeve.co.uk as far as I know the cheapest place on the internet) which is an awsome set with most things in except colour changes, there are a few but they're not brilliant.

I was wondering if there is a book or DVD (preferabley book) which teaches some good, very visual, colour changes (eg Bertram or snap change)

Cheers

PS I know about "Color Changes" but it only has one of those and I'd rather not shop from penguin if it can be avoided.

Cheers,

Chris Pitt (AKA Pitto)

The Erdnase Change can be made very visual if you don't cover the card as usual - see my Random Sleights video in FS. That plus the Jokers Wild change where you shake the cards should be enough in the way of colour changes...

Those should be pretty much enough for visual changes.

The ultimate visual change imho is Shapeshifter but it has its disadvantages too!

I have to disagree there I think the Ego Change that stevebo performed is more visual.

I still stick with Shapeshifter - there's no cover on the card when it's changed - but I must admit that it's veeeery close!

I think Ego Change is better because the spectator never suspects where the card has gone! They check the top card but it's not there! :D

Or you could go for a classic pass so that the card is actually not at the bottom nor the top! Using a palm change could work also!

I only use the Shapeshifter change for Joker's wild now... I almost never use it anywhere else! But bad thing about the shapeshifter for videos is that it can be easily learnt (just how I learnt it!!).

Hi,
Do any of you know where I can learn the ego change besides D.G.'s projects? I'm not really interested in the other stuff on there.
