About This Class

Are you a beginner card magician looking to learn a few sleight of hand techniques? Or maybe you're a seasoned practitioner of card tricks and would like to learn new card magic moves. In this episode of the "Sleight of Hand Bootcamp" we will learn over 40 ways in which you can change the color of a playing card in a magical way.

Here are answers to some of the questions that you might have.

âž¡ What are color changes?

A card sleight technique in which one card is visually changed into another. The usual procedure is done by passing a hand over a deck which is held face up by the other hand. Many methods require Palming a card. More advanced methods allow the magician to apparently be holding only a single card before and after the change.

➡ Who is this course for?

We'll be covering over 40 techniques which range from Beginner level to Advanced. There's something in here for everybody looking to expand their card magic repertoire.

➡ How long will it take for me to learn these?

I would say every beginner level technique can be done in under a day with an hour's practice. But, in the end, this depends on each person's dexterity and quickness to learn a new thing.

➡ What do I need for this course?

Just a deck of poker playing cards, but if you don't have a poker size deck, and deck of cards will do.

➡ How long are the explanations?

I hate long explanations that keep dragging on, so all explanations are anywhere between 1-6 minutes. I made sure that the explanations are intended for beginners, so you will have all the information necessary to perform these color changes well.

➡ Who am I ?

My name is Bizau Cristian, but people call me Biz. I am a magician and designer from Romania. I've been creating card magic and sleight of hand since I was in 7th grade (13 years young). I published my first original magic effect with a UK magic company when I was 14. Ever since then I have been publishing my ideas with companies from all around, have been invited to hold lectures in Paris, Stockholm, Belarus and Madrid where I taught other magicians my ideas and have successfully published 2 unique decks of playing cards on Kickstarter

I love what I do and I hope I can inspire you to love sleight of hand as well :)

Transcripts

1. Introduction and Trailer: Hey guys, my name is bears and welcome to the Encyclopedia of color changes. In this course, we're going to look at 20 plus color changes, but wait, you're probably wondering, what's a color change? A color change is magically transforming one playing card into another. If you like card magic, then this course is perfect for you because color changes are some of the most beautiful and visual things that somebody can learn, which you can use to impress your friends or you can put them on social media, then you're going to like them. I think you're going to do them because they're not difficult. And even if there is one that is a bit more difficult, I explain it step-by-step so that there's nothing to worry about. You'll be able to do it if you put it into practice. Magic requires practice just like any other hobby. But I think if you're here, you're ready to put it into practice. So grab your deck, any data that you have around the house and let's get it going. 2. What do you need: The only thing that you need for this course is a deck of playing cards. It can be a poker deck of playing cards, or it can be a bridge or a canister deck of playing cards. As long as you can hold it in your hands. Just like this, you'll be able to do these color changes. Now, I'm going to be using a poker deck of playing cards because this is the standard size thick that magicians use around the world. But honestly, I didn't have this when I started out. When I started out, I just used a bridge deck because my family didn't play cards. So when I ask them for a deck of playing cards, they were like, yeah, We can give you a thing. I think your aunt has one. Right? Because nobody in my family used playing cards. So my auntie had a bridge deck of playing cards, and that's how I started magic. So don't worry about it. All you need is a deck of playing cards of any size. And you can start learning these. 3. The level required: Now let's say that you want to learn this, but you just start it out. Now there's a couple of things that you need to know before we keep going forward. I've actually posted a course is called Zero to Hero in card magic here on Skillshare. And if you're very new to card magic, then you should start with that one. Because in that one, you're going to learn the grips, you're going to learn the spreading, and you're going to learn the pickup, the double lift, and everything that you need to know in order to perform this changes. Now I still go over them very succinctly in this course. But if you really want to go in depth and learn these notions and concepts, then it's better if you start at a beginner course. 4. Push Through Change | Easy: The way that I do this color change is by having two cards back to back in this fashion. Now there are multiple ways in which we can arrive in this position. But the most famous one is actually just pushing two cards with your left thumb. And this is an act that you get used to. While you keep fiddling with cards. You push the cards, you get that top card, and then this one you actually pulled back. But meanwhile, from underneath you're actually pressing up with your pinky finger. By doing this, you are instantly getting a break underneath discard the second card. And this is a thing that magicians use all of the time. Now, once we haven't arrived in this position, we're going to position the card in this way. Notice how my fingers are holding the court from the right side and my thumb is actually coming from above as if wanting to actually compare this twice. If holding a bottle. Once they come here, I'm just going to push the card like this with my thumb. So I keep going up and then push the card, but I do it while my wrist don't 180 degrees and my right hand comes in groups, the car catches the car. So the way that I do it, notice I push with my index and then I continue with my thumb, push with my index, continue with my thumb. And then I have this beautiful color change where it looks as if I'm going with my left hand over the cord and changing its identity. Because if you do it fast enough, it doesn't look like you are turning the card. And that's why it changes. It's a beautiful illusion when done swiftly and surely surprise all of your friends and family when you do it. 5. The Slap Change | Easy: Here's a change that has been around for so many ages. High, the chord in your left and your right palm. Prepare the deck, slab it and drop the card at the same time. So I'm slapping, dropping by flexing my fingers. And that will actually create this beautiful change. The way that you get that card in poem is completely up to you. You can actually use one steel that we're actually going to learn in this change, just like that. But honestly, many magicians in the past taught this just by stealing the chord in any fashion that you want so you can steal it from the bottom. That was what I did there. You can steal it from the bottom. It gives stated from the middle. It doesn't matter where you're from as long as the slept App card hard, then you're going to have that beautiful color change. You can actually slap the card and steal it, but it's not as magical. That's where you just want to slap their card and instantly the cart will change. This is beautiful if you're palming the card off the top of the deck while you're talking to respect it, to attract attention to the front and then slap the cart. There you have guys the slab change. 6. The Erdnase Change | Easy: The only change is the most part change in the history of card magic and it's being taught in very many bandwidths. Now the worst way they can do this is by pushing the cart from over here to the front, coming down and then changing the car. It's completely horrendous. Please never do this in your life. The way, the way that magicians we'll talk, we'll teach you, is to have you hand open next to the cart. Your pinky finger slightly bent like this. So when you come over the card, when you strengthen that pinky, you can take the card and you instantly move it forward. Now at this point, you can actually contact a car from underneath and change it. And what I mean by contact that card from underneath is what the base of our right palm. I'm actually going to come in contact with this card and pull it towards myself while having my fingers completely squared like this. So that when I come over it, I can push that card which is kept here. Underneath the three. You're here. Push, pull towards yourself. And this is something that will happen. Notice, because it's very cold in this room. The bottom part of my hand isn't SDK as I want it to be. A fix for this is to just blow hot air in the bottom part of your hand like this. And once you do this, once it will instantly start sticking. So before you make a video or you perform for somebody, just make sure that your hands are sticky enough in order for the cards to be pulled like this site performed in a couple of times in front of you. It's very important not to push the cart. So obviously, that's why the pinky does a very subtle job, job at pushing this cart forward. From that point on, you can just pull this card towards yourself by flying down pressure on that card, pulling it towards yourself until it evades over here, coming forward. And at the same time when you're coming forward, this finger going to push that three but it's not pushing it while I'm here because I don't want to attract the attention towards the fact that this court has actually been out to jogged like this. What I want to do is I want to cover the card and then instantly change it. I'm over here. Sorry about that. My fingers I started getting a bit less sticky. I have over here, I come over it and then the card has changed. Over here, come over it and the card has changed. So there's no moment in which the spectator will see that I'm pushing or pulling the cart. That is the earnings change. 7. The Duck Change | Fairly Easy: This color change relies very much on physics. And the way that you apply force on these two cards is very important because they're actually flipping in the air, just like that. So we're going to get two cards just like this, have them back-to-back. A technique that you should know at this point, do it in any way that you fashioned by pushing two cards and then bringing this one on top and having a pinky finger over there. And what we're gonna do is we're going to contact the bottom-right corner of the card with this side of our thumb. Just like that. Not many magicians will do it like this. Many magicians will do it like this, which is something that I do not do. Because many times this meaty part of our my thumb is very steep. And as such, I'm actually going to stick to that card like that and I don't like that. So one part of my hand that is never sticky is this the middle side? So I can take the corner with the middle side. And then at the same time, I'm pulling my middle finger right here on the front side in such a way that it almost evades almost the court escapes from these two. Notice that there's barely any meat on those two cards. Put your finger way too much. You're gonna get this springing motion. Too much finger is going to cause you a spring and then that card is most likely going to flip. But if you put just a little bit and I'm talking here like a millimeter of your finger on the front of these two cards, you can actually pull back your pin, your middle finger. And this will cause both cards to flip forward because you're also applying pressure with your thumb forward towards the cart. So these two cards are locked here in this pressure. And then I'm actually going to pull back with my middle finger. And those two cards will roll tape. Apply pleasure over here and those two chords will rotate just like that. And notice that I'm not really sitting completely straight like this. I'm not sitting like this. I'm actually coming at an angle. So my hands are going at an angle like that. And this will allow the card more space to flip in order to arrive completely flush on top of the deck like this. Make sure that you get the positioning of the fingers correctly, the pressure. And then make sure that you tilt your hand in order to allow the car to flip. And you're going to get the duck change. 8. The Shapeshifter | Intermediate: The shapes if there is a beautiful color change, and from my point of view, it's one of the most visual color changes that you can learn early on. It's honestly, it looks a little bit like video editing because the spin of the cards happens so fast that it's just not humanly possible to follow the spin. Basically, what you're doing is you are causing these two cars to spin around just like that. And you need fingers that are big enough that it's just put it like this in order to grip the card at the two carts because you have two cards over here back-to-back. I didn't give you this. I honestly skip this part because I thought it was obvious. But you have these two cards group between your thumb and your middle finger. And obviously you need enough space in order for these two calls to revolve. If you feel like you don't have enough space, try and go with your tips at the corners. But this will cause sometimes for the courts to flip more than you want them because you don't have a powerful grip on the coordinates. Now, if your fingers are not too tiny and you have something like this, there's so many other color changes that you can do. So really don't, don't get your mind stuck on the shape shifter just because it looks cool and you want to do it if your hands are not big enough yet, just wait a couple more years. If your hands just aren't big enough and you're already grown enough and you know, they're not gonna get any bigger. There's plenty of other color changes to those. So just keep this one. Now. Yet they still cards by turning one car and getting a pinky brick underneath the second chord and greeting the corners over here on the left inner side and on the right outer setting. Then with your left, left hand, here's what I do. I pushed the deck inside just a little bit. Actually. No. You don't need to push the day and never push the day. I just felt like that's something that I might do. So I get the card, I tilt it a little bit towards the left side and a grip the other two corners that are free with my left thumb here, with my ring finger. Very important, my ring finger, middle finger, ring finger. Because I want this car to actually look like it doesn't really move too much from the deck. You see just like that. Now here's what's going to happen. I'm going to start applying pressure over here. And I'm going to release first from my thought. If I released from the thumb, the current will go towards the right. Now if I released from the thumb and the middle finger, the current will rotate. So this is what you're going to be getting at the beginning. You might be getting something like that. You might be getting something like something like this. And the courts are going to fall down on floor. The most important aspect behind the shape shifter is clipping the card with your right hand. And this is pressure that you will have honestly to just play around with because actually I put it I've done it for like 12 years now and it's second nature for me, but I remember at the beginning, let me try with the other hand. I definitely haven't done the shape shifter as much in my other hand. So I can say that it is a bit more difficult with the other hand. But the CFC, this is something that will never happen in the other hand, the thing is that I am applying pressure, but it's not very powerful. Because if it's too powerful, it doesn't allow the court to flip. If it's too little. It will allow the course to spin into here just like that. So play around with the pressure. They are holding the card width. And then you're going to have to play around with just how much of a spin you're gonna give it. Because sometimes they can actually spin it in 360 degrees. This is 360 degrees. I think I can do it even more. That was 729. That was actually 500, oh my God. 360 plus 180, 540 degrees. 540 degrees right there. So the shape-shifter play with the pressure makes sure that you have your fingers in the right positions. And you're gonna get it, you're going to get it. Just put into practice is not something that will be done with in one day or a week. Just keep doing it. 9. The Slipper Change | Intermediate: For this change, we're going to execute a double lift. And we're going to kick forward these two cards. Then we're going to push down on the front of the card with our index finger. And this will create this buckle on the right side of the card and push at the same time, instantly getting a break beneath these cards. Now we're going to use these break in order to push our pinky finger inside, place our thumb on top, and then use our pinky to get that card from underneath to the right. Once we do that, we can actually steal that card and cause it to change. And it will look just like that. Get your pinky, pinky underneath. Move your left thumb on top of the card and then using the meaty part of your finger, press I put it on the request using the meaty part of your finger. And because of the sweat, when you will stick it to the card and you move it, that card will move with the pinky finger. And all I'm doing is just extending my pinky finger. Now, the grip from the thumb is actually a light grip. So do not press down a lot. You just I'm just lightly letting my finger who were there in order to keep that from card. And meanwhile, I'm extending my pinky finger so that card comes out. This all happens while my hand is coming over it. The same time getting that card out. And I don't need to get it out more than this because my right pinky finger is going to contact this corner of the card. And my base of the thumb is going to contact this coordinate of the card. I'm going to pull the card and then I'm going to drop it on top. And this way, we have the color change. 10. The Deal Change | Intermediate: What better way to have a car changed and have a spectator select the card, and then you take that card and you Please sit down and has changed in the process. And you can repeat this as many times as possible, because what you're actually doing is you're getting that second card from the deck by using a second year. So this is something that you'll actually learn in gambling. Gamblers will use this in order to deal cards. And honestly, I have seen people do this much better than me. So honestly, maybe I'm not the best source to learn this from, but I am a good source if you want to just do a color change because people aren't able to follow this. If you want to use this in a professional poker game, there's no way. You should definitely learn this from a different source. But as a color change, what I'm going to show you guys is enough to create a beautiful color change. Oh, there we go. We push, and then we change it. So the way that we do it is by using one of the things that we learned early on in magic. And that is pushing two cards to the right. And the way that we have it set is by having these two cards pushed to the right, we can use our right hand to grip that second card and pull this top card to the left. So just to this very slow, push two cards, that second card, put it down, push the cards. Notice I can grab the top card if I want, but if I go a little bit towards the left, I can actually grab both cards, actually, so I'm grabbing both cards, but my left thumb is pulling that top card back. And you keep doing that on and on, on and on. Now, I can actually alter between the thumb, middle finger when I gripping or the thumb and ring finger. Just see which one is much more comfortable for you. Your original method is with the ring finger when you grip the card because it actually gives you much more cover on the cart. And go like that. And then you stop. Take one card, flip it over, push two cards, grip. You actually covering the card and then you put it down. Just like that. That guy is is the second deal change. You have seen me actually perform it in this fat, not in this fashion, sorry. In this fashion, which is the classic way of doing doing the second deal change. And as you've noticed, I'm not I'm not so good at it. So I actually thought about it. And I said, I might as well just teach you guys this one, which I feel is much more beautiful and not many people teach it. And I think you will do a much better job at then with this one. This one feels a little bit more advanced because you have to push two cars almost as one. Whereas here you can actually just push two cars normally. And it will still look convincing if you do it swiftly enough. So there you have guys. The second deal change. 11. In the center Change | Easy: This color change, we're going to have a card turn face up in the middle of the deck and we're ready to go. So from this position you're going to have somebody selected card and only spread the top portion of the day. Because if you go deep enough, you're actually going to reveal the other card. So spreads somebody selects a card. In this case the five of hearts. Now, the thing that I did in my way, five of hearts, five of diamonds, let's get a different card. Is the thing that I did in my performance is an original control where I go like this. It looks as if the car goes in the center with the chord is actually controlled to the bottom. I feel like this is a bit too advanced for you guys, so we're going to learn something different. It's called the tilt. The tilt is done by getting a pinky buried beneath the top card over here and creating a space in which you can actually place your finger. Let me show you guys a little bit over here. See, so you have this space and the car goes into this space, creating the depth of illusion. So it looks as if the car goes in the center because there's all of this space above it. If you would see it like this, you would know that it's actually second from the top. But on a instantly if I just lifted a little bit, you can imagine that it goes in the center. So the way that you do this is by just getting a pinky break, by pushing a cart or by counting the card, you get a pinky break. And then with your pinky, you're going to lift that card up. So initially it's always down over here and the pink is just going to come forward a little bit and push up on the card. And this will move the card higher on the thumb, which has actually used as a blocking, blocking step. Let's put it that way. And this way we can have a permanent break in-between discard and the rest of the deck. So now I'm going to take this card, place it face up, make it look as if it goes in the center of the deck. Nice waveform. And now when I spread the cards, I can actually reveal that the current has changed, but our card is actually still second from the top. And from this position, you can do plenty of stuff. You can put the card over here, turned the triple over, and then place this coil over there, just snap it and change it back into the yeas. And then we can have the A's over here and change it back into another five. So there's plenty of stuff that you can do if you just play around with it, you're going to learn quite a lot. But I know, I know I went ahead of myself and I did those things that you probably didn't understand. Let's go over it once more. That card is face up in the deck. When we take that selection, we create the tilt, we place this one in the center. Ruffle a little bit, spread and make sure that you keep that card hidden over there. Reveal that the corn has actually changed from this position. Actually, I can actually refer to cards over here. Get a pinky break beneath those two cards. Flip with this triple that I have over here as one single card. Snap my fingers and I want to push this card. I will be revealing that there's a card face up here, which I don't want. So this is why I did over here. I neck Tight the deck and I placed it back down and I instantly changed and then a grip the deck back. And I took this coordinate, placed it on top before you guys could see it. Now I can flip this one as a single one and change it again. Call it changes are beautiful if you stick them together one by one. And I'm sure you guys are going to start doing that as soon as you learn a couple of more changes and you practice. So let's move on. 12. The Paintbrush Change | Fairly Easy: The following changes called the paintbrush change. And it's got this name because you're actually brushing the card on top of the deck. Honestly, if you are doing it like that, like it used to be done back in the past. I believe that people nowadays will get what's happening. But if you get it to the point where it looks as if you're not actually touching the top of the deck at all, then in that, in that case, you're gonna get something very beautiful and something that will look purely magical. Now the way that we do this is by getting obviously a double lift, something that you'll do with every color change. And we are gripping the bottom right corner of the court with our thumb on top and the other two fingers in this fashion, middle finger right here on the bottom side and the thumb and index finger. So we're going to be pushing the top card towards the left side. And we're going to be flipping this on the top of the deck. But it's not only our right hand that does the flipping. It's actually our left fingers that once that card is over here, we're actually using the fingers to close that card on top of the deck. We push and those fingers just close the cord instantly. Notice that if I would do it in slow motion, it will look like that. So we have the cord here. I push just a little bit. And from this position, once I go up, I can actually use from underneath my fingers, notice just grabbed that chord and close it. You can do that as well. Just try it out and I'm sure you guys are gonna get it pretty fast. Go slow, grip, grip that cord and go high with the card that is underneath over here. Here. Push, grip instantly and go up. And there you have it, guys, That's the Paintbrush changed numbers to it. If anybody else will tell you that it's a difficult change, they're lying, they just don't know how to explain it better. There you have it guys. Now makes sure that you play with your thumb. You can actually go higher on the card if you feel like you need a little bit more pushing off the card, and this will actually make it look. The court could not have escaped your beautiful grip right here on it. Play with emotion as well. If you guys want, you can actually go like that. That's totally up to you. It doesn't look as magical from my point of view. But don't play around with what you do with it because you can definitely do plenty of stuff. You can go here like that and change it. You can come over here with the thumb and just do something like that. So there's definitely motions that you can apply, play around with and see what you discover and what you like. 13. The Turnover Change | Easy: I have taught this color change so many times and it's such a beautiful color change because you can do it in so many ways. You don't even have to do it like this. Just the idea that one chord is actually being turned. Sorry about that. One card is actually being turned while the rest goes towards it is a beautiful change. And I've seen this change done very badly and very well at the same time. Notice how I can do it many times, but then I have all of these cards on top. It's a beautiful change. Let's get into it. So we push a car, you get two cars back-to-back instantly, just like this, and you're actually going to have a pinky break underneath the court. So you're going to place your fingers underneath so you can grab the car just like in the paintbrush change. We're not going to do the Paintbrush changed. But if you ever do the Paintbrush changed with chords that are back-to-back like this. It will look as if that card is actually still the king. And then you snap your fingers and you have a change. So there we go, a bonus change inside of another change. Now, this is something that you will start doing with all of the changes. You'll start to see if they, if they combine and what you get out of it. Obviously, if you have the sort of creative attitude towards magic or towards life. So we get these cards we grew up but underneath, and you slide them down over here. And after you slide them down over here, you're actually going to close your left hand over the chords, gripped them and come back. So you're basically just turning the card like a peasant and nobody sees you doing it because you're doing it with the other hand and the brain just cannot comprehend these advanced alien movements. Believe me, I've done it to so many people, smart and dumb, rich and poor, Gypsies and other people and all of them love it because it happens instantly in swiftly. And you're not doing this, which would literally insult their intelligence. This, oh my God, this actually kills their intelligence instantly. Now it's very important that you slide the card down, close it with the deck, and then help the card go on top of the deck just like that. So I'm not grabbing the card, I'm not going after it like that. So it's not it's not a lot of movement on my left side. See. It's actually a very gentle thing where I hold hold tight this packet and then I use my right fingers to just put that card on top of the deck. And by just keeping my left hand still, those cards will go on top of the deck by themselves. I don't need to do any extra movements. So when I turn my deck over, then instantly that coal will have changed. Now obviously you want to use your index finger over here in order to grab those scars because it helps. And if it helps, it's nice. If it's dice, you're going to feel good about it. So you have the cord down, you come here and using your index finger, just going to group those two carts gently and nicely. There you have it, guys. A lot of talking a lot of talking for a very simple change, but I feel like it was very essential because it's a change that many people teach very bad. 14. PullPush Change | Easy: I love simple color change, Honest to God, I do. And I think many people love simple color changes. The most simple it is, the more beautiful it is because you're actually for, oh my God, look at that. Yes, you're gonna be using three cards. And the way they do it is by getting a double lift. Oh my God, I said double lift. Getting a double lift. Lift. Just like that. You're flipping this card over and you don't need to flip it yet. You can just push the cards. Then use these two cars to flip that card. And then these two cards are actually going to go over here. Notice that very advanced wrist moment that I've done over here to put the cart does not something that you want to be doing at the beginning. As such, you're going to flip this card face up, which is a double. Turn that card over here and place this double over there. So now I can just go forward. And when I put my fingers on top of discard and come back, it's going to drop that card from underneath and create a beautiful color change. Now this is a simple change, but I swear people are going to dance to the music of this color change. Now, it's very important that when you do this color change, you don't do what I just did. So you do the change. Just like that. Don't push two cards. So what you wanna do here is get those two cards up and instantly just turned it. So if you're doing for social media, doesn't really matter. But if you're doing it for real life, what I usually do, I take this card and place it underneath. And then these two cars, they flip over like that. It's a simple change. You're going to get it instantly, but it's. 15. Zach Change | Easy: We have over here beautiful change, a modern change that has been actually developed in the past, I would say seven years by Zach Miller. I think it was 2015. So this is a modern change. You're not going to see any old video of this change, and you probably not going to find a lot of tutorials about this change. There's always secrecy around stuff that people don't perform anymore. They've invented it, dropped it, and then they just move on. So here it is, guys, this beautiful color change that you will see only by a few people done. And I think it needs to be done by more people around the world because it's so beautiful. You have these two chords. It's a double lift, obviously, you grip it over here at the corner. Thing that we've done with the paintbrush change, something that we have done with the turnaround change, and it's something that you will be doing a lot. So get used to it. We have these two cards back-to-back. Know, we have them in a train, choo-choo train mode. It's bottoms to France right over here, the king in the back just hugging the a's from the back. And here's what happening in slow motion. So the thumb is actually going to drag that card on the bottom of the deck. Right over here. I've put the thumb on top of the card and I pull it underneath the deck. But notice in order for that to happen, I actually need to position that the card over here. Now this is a weird position. I'm not saying it's not and it's probably not something that you'll ever do except for this change. And it's probably not something that is natural. Why would you ever hold the car like that except to perform this change? Just know that people don't think about it. Nobody thinks about it. So what you wanna do is you get the carnival huge. Don't need to grip it like I just did. I was over exaggerating. The card is gripped. Placing the two chords here on the side of the deck, you turn your restores the right side of the deck, place your thumb on top, right over here. And this term is actually going to peel the card. And at the same time it's going to kick the car the deck towards the right side. So you're peeling the card and you're kicking the deck towards the right side. And by pulling that card down, you are revealing the one from underneath the. So when you do that, you can actually covered the fact that you're stealing that card with an up and down motion like that. And believe me, it's going to move banana just like that because you're doing it fast. It's impossible to follow by the human eye. So I'll do it in slow motion. So just just get comfortable with blocking record over here. Pushing down on the top. If you don't feel like you can just steal the card with the thumb alone. Use the same thing like we did in the paintbrush. Change. Push this card towards the left side, instantly pull the card down and you do the motion just like in the paintbrush change. You push the card, you do the motion at the same time. So you're over here, push the card, get that card underneath and slap it. There. You have it guys. There you have it, practice it, master it. It's amazing. 16. The Hover Change | Easy: If you have learned or an exchange and you like it, then you're probably going to like this change as well because it's got a very nice attitude towards the fact that you're hiding a card and complete plain view underneath your hand. Now, sometimes you're gonna be doing something like this and you're going to feel like you're the best magician on the planet, then nobody can see you. Then you look on camera and it's just bright, they're stinging in your eye. Now, the way that you do this is by getting a pinky brick underneath the top card. And you're going to cover the top card with the base of your left thumb and the right hand. Sorry about that right hand. And the way that we do it is by covering the identity completely. And I have a small reference, have the index, touch the joint of my index finger, the bottom joint right over here. And once I do that, I know that the rest of the chord is actually hidden underneath. Now, the secret to this entire change is that this card will be gliding. It will be gliding on my nail. Once the card is on the nail, you can just move it around and it's going to behave as if it's tripping on steroids because that chord will not stick to your finger because the nail is a very neat surface. It will not stick at all. If we don't use the nail, we're actually going to get something like this. See how the chord is actually sticking to my finger. But if we use the nail, we can get something like that. And we can actually reposition deck. And the current is still over there just gliding on our nail, waiting for us to come back with a car. So we have the basics. Pinky break underneath, get the nail in there in the bottom part of our index finger over here on the index. Slap it on top, and then apply pressure with the base of our thumb on the nail. So we're literally lifting that card and hiding it over there. We have the fingers over here. We just wiggle, wiggle over the card, pretending to be master magicians. And then whenever we want, we can just drop this card back on top and wave goodbye through the deck. Just like that. Just like you would wave goodbye to somebody, you wave goodbye to the deck. And it creates this beautiful atmosphere where the spectators things your God. And you know, you're not. 17. Cardini Change | Intermediate: Here's a beautiful change that I am so bored of teaching. I've taught this change way too much in my life. Honestly, the cardiac change. Such a nice change. You can do it in so many ways. You have no idea. You can do Guardini. Still the card from underneath, put it back on top. You can do multiple codon is if you want. It's just one of those changes that has been around for so long that people got so bored of it, they started creating many variations of it. And there's the ego change that goes like this. So there's many variations of it and we're going to look at variations in this, in this encyclopedia, in this video over here. But right now, let's just look at this. Guardini is beautiful. I'm not saying it's not. It's just once you once you've been teaching it for hundreds of times, I believe you'll never loses its charm. So get a double lift, obviously over here. And then you're going to use your pinky finger to kick that card off, just like that. Now, I have taught this to a couple of people in France and they couldn't do it. They just, they didn't have the muscle developed under finger to pull a card down. So if you encounter that, just do exercises, just get these cards and try and pull down with the pinky finger over here. Now, what I do is I gripped the deck from the right and left side over here with my thumb and middle finger, so that when I pull this card on top, it will be the only car that will be dislodged from the rest of the ones. Now, I know dislodged is a word that some of you might not know because who knows who is listening to this video from other parts of the world? It calls. It's actually oh, I got it. I stumbled. So the word means separate. It will separate. It will be the only card that's separate from the rest of the deck. Just like that. The keep doing that a few 5,000 times and then after 5,000 times, leave me a horrible review because you did it 5,000 times. Don't ever do anything 5,000 times. Just practice it in under fire, practise it by performing it to friends. Now let's go for the second thing. You need to cover it with your hand. You can't top. And magicians do this, this flick, this nice flick. I think it comes from, I don't know, I don't know where it comes from, but they do the flake. Boom, the flip happens while at the same time, the cord is being covered with your right hand over here. It's not rocket science covering. But from here you're going to grip the packet with your right hand and your left fingers are going to drag that card underneath the deck. Just like that. It's not hard either. It just dragging it underneath. Grab the deck. Right now your fingers are on the face of that card. So from this position, they're actually just going to move towards the left side and the current will naturally follow underneath the deck. Flake, grab underneath the deck, twist, flick, grab underneath the deck, and then twist. The reason why magicians twist deck at the end is because they want a motivation for bringing the fingers in this way. Because if you would do just this, watch, it will look so weird. Like why did you go towards the left side in order to come back towards the right side? So many times magicians will cover emotion inside of another motion. It's, it's, it's used everywhere is basic basic knowledge. You probably know this already, so I'm just repeating myself. 18. Snap Change | Intermediate: Beautiful snap changed by Admiral. You get two cards and then pull them instantly changed, just like that. Now this is a monumental change. It's been done by David Blaine, has been done by so many people and there's so many variations of it. And it's based around the tank guy, which is one of admirals favorite moves. So basically you're going to be moving that card behind the other one just like that. And it's in a sense in a sort of tank I position the thing I pollen is something that I talk over in the zero to hero of course here on Skillshare. So if you don't know, I think you know it. So let's just move on. You get a double lift. Just like this. You grip the card at the bottom, index with your two fingers and the thumb in the back. Now, your middle finger is going to go backwards? Yeah. Just like that. Just like that, you're going to pull that card. And then your index finger and your thumb are going to hold onto this chord while your middle finger keeps going backwards until it arrives in 1980, because this is going backwards in time. So I know my jokes are in the best. I don't even don't don't worry about it. I'm not working on it. I am okay with my humor. So you are here. You pull the card back, you have the finger on top, pull it back, and then card will be in the front. That's it. That's the that's the snap change. It's called the snap change because model would snap the court at the same time. Don't do that. Don't do that. You can just do something like this, which is what I do in order to get rid of the card instantly, is not my creation. I hate it when somebody says this is what I do, This is what I do know, bro, you learned it from somebody and you do it as well, but you make it sound as if it's something that you've created. It's not. This is something that Dan and David and they had. They have beautiful applications for the Snapchat shout out to them and they've bought from the United States. So the way that I do it is I come here, I snapped the card as I'm coming down. And then that chord is instantly ditched on top of the deck. And now I can flip this card over and make it look as if it's always been just one single card. Come over here, slap, boom, finger. That's the snap change, guys. I feel like I might have rushed it a little bit, but honestly, I think you guys got it. I think you guys got. 19. Zoso Change | Easy: Also change is very similar to the harbor change that we learned over here. But instead of doing, doing it with your fingers over here, you're actually going to use your thumb to move the card in the back. So it makes it look as if there's no way for you to hide the card, but you're basically stealing it with your thumb. Position your thumb on the bottom side, and the rest of your fingers on the front. And tilt your hands, both your hands towards yourself so that the cord is actually hidden. From this position. You can come back, finger over here, pull the cards towards yourself and you have this also change happen instantly just like that. You can do a multiple zone also change if you position your thumb correctly. But is that an advanced move? Yes. Will you guys learn it completely? So the way that you do it is by, you know, when you put your, this also change, you're actually just placing the side of your thumb over here on the bottom sites with just one chord. But if you want to move multiple cards, you have to flatten your thumb. Move it so it's half on the card, half just wiggling around so that when it comes over to three, it can actually contact that three instantly and be able to pick it up. And you can keep doing that as long as you keep repositioning with your pinky finger the card, which is a bit too advanced to be teaching right now. But you guys have it over here with just one simple card. I hate it when that happens, there we go. So one card covered, tilt you tilt your hand backwards, come down with the cards that you're hiding it over here. Do this motion which is motivation for the change happening. Because if you just do this, it would look static, weird and solids. So you do it with a little bit of wiggle and then you come back. And if you want to do the multiple, if you want to make it whoa, I just changed it back and forth. That is a change I did not plan to be doing right now, but I suppose it's a beautiful change nonetheless. There we go. So this also changed guys. Practice it, do it, It's done by dark, dark, pretty beautiful Change. Hope you guys enjoyed that. 20. Top Palm Change | Advanced: I'm going to teach you guys the more of the holy grail of palming, Oh my God. Hyping it up so much, I didn't even do it. So it's like that to basically just talk, palming the card as you're placing the deck down and it happens instantly in your palm. And one of the very first changes that I did in my first year of magic was to reveal the deck like this and wave it and reveal the change. And then I can go into the slab change. And you do this by gripping the deck in this fashion is called the Biddle grip, but your pinky finger is actually positioned like this on the corner over here. So it's gonna go down. This is what's happening without the rest of the fingers, is just going to go down. The way that they explain this is that imagine that this part of the deck is actually a slide. And you're bringing the card on the slide as if it's a five-year-old kid, it's your kid and you're going into part with them and you're just letting him slide on the slide. So that was that was a very weird comparison, but I know that I hammered it in your head. Just go with the rest of the fingers on top and use your pinky finger. Notice that I'm pushing down over here till I get to that slide and I keep pushing until the card goes in my palm. Now, I don't think anybody else on the Internet will find a better way to explain this. But what I really do need to tell you guys is that this is a hard part. I mean, you need to be able to hold the full deck with your fingers so that the big doesn't move while you press on the side. Because one of my students, he was 16 and he was trying to do this and the deck kept moving towards the right side. And that's because his hands just couldn't hold onto the deck. I mean, you need power in order to hold that deck in position and then pull the cord towards the right side. Now, don't get me wrong. Once you keep doing this, you'll actually discovered that you don't need that much strength. It's all about technique with the pinky finger. But in the beginning, it's, it's actually the other way around because you want to get accustomed to being able to poem that card in your right hand. Position like this, index, the other three fingers, thumb on the inner rights sites that you reveal as much as possible. Pinky finger over here, flatten and now watch. I start pushing on it. Meanwhile, I'm gripping the deck so it doesn't move. I'm over here and I go down. And instantly upon some of the times you're going to get that, don't worry. What you need to adjust is the way they pull on the card. So if I go too much towards the right side, the card will go underneath. If I go too much towards this side, the court will spin. If I go at an angle, what I need to do is pop that card in my palm. And the way that I do this, if I explain, I need to explain a bit better. If you apply pressure over here on this side, the court will go like that. If you apply on the corner and you go to much towards that side, the court will actually rotate on the corner just like that. Now you need to apply pressure on it and go forward. As much as you can see that the cord goes perpendicular almost in your palm. Press down and the current will go just like that in your palm. And then you have the color change. It's probably going to be one of the most difficult ones that you're gonna be facing early on in magic. But it's nice because there's actually a practical ability that you can put into application for other tricks except for just color changes because you're palming the cord, you can do so many other things. 21. UpDown Change | Easy: So here's a beautiful color change they can do right away. Just like that. Now, the idea behind it is that you need to be able to do this, this double lift, which is used for the gold change by Dan and Dave. Obviously I don't, I don't have it completely done the goal change, but we'll learn that a little bit later. Meanwhile, I'm going to start practicing the gold chain so that it can actually teach it to you guys in a more fluid way. But until then you get a pinky break underneath the second card, you grip corners just over here. You're going to use your thumb to just riffle down, but you're refilling down with the card. The way that you do that notice is just by putting the card underneath the thumb and then randomly inserting it at any position in the deck just like that. So Grip, go down, but take the corner with you. And instead of going up, we're going to just place the card over here on the thumb. Just like once you're in this position, you're going to leave it there. Don't move because if you move the cars are going to separate. So don't move, don't move at all. Just imagine the polices right there next to you, what a gun. No more. Keep the cards over there. And you're going to grip the inner right corner of the card and just the front of the two carts. And notice that if you pull towards the right side, the car from underneath will stay stuck to your thumb while the other one will go in the deck. And you have the color change over their grip and then pull towards the right side. And you do this while you come up and down. Okay. You're over here, you come up and when you come up, you pull the card and then you come down, you reveal the change. That is the color change. Guys. There we go. We have it over here. Grip the card, pull towards the right and you do it in the motion. Bring the card out. And now obviously you have a card face up in the deck. If you want, you can instantly go into the change that we just learned where you reveal that the court has actually changed. If not, from this position, you can go into the other change that we just learned. And from here you can go into the other change that we just learned. Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to keep showing you guys there's different ways in which you can actually stick these changes one after the other. And you're going to have a lot of fun with them once you master them. 22. Open Book Change | Easy: Two-way says change into two random cards or two random cards change into the two aces, which is a beautiful color change that you can do with four cores, but you need to arrange them in a certain way. So let's say we want to change the cards into the twist is we have the aces Just like that frontal front. And then we have these other two cards over here just on top. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to turn the first one and then the second one. But now I'm going to have to count four cards. So the way they do this is up to you, but you need to get four cards in your hand because it's all four of those cards. One way they can do it very simply is to have a pinky break beneath the aces from the beginning. So you start off by this, you turn those two cards over and then you peel off the front card. And now you have this triple over here in your right hand. And all you need to do is close the tool and push the car, just like we learned into the paintbrush change and close and open. And this is actually going to create a beautiful color change right over here. We close, we push and notice what's happening because I'm pushing these two cards. When I close and open again, those two cars will be left on top of the deck and it will create this beautiful double change. And once you do it swiftly, it will look like this. And it's a marvelous change. You have that code over here, so you can instantly tell you expect it to you if you don't like the aces doesn't matter. We can go back to the other random course, don't worry about it. Now, obviously we still have that card over there, but you can get rid of it in many ways. It's just something you can deal with later. But now you have this beautiful double change, which you can do. 23. Spread Flip Change | Fairly Easy: Here's a beautiful color change developed by Lee Asher. So the way that we do this is let me get the deck, the SAP. We show a card, e.g. the four hearts, and then this one changes into the two of diamonds. And the way that we do this, sorry about that, is by actually getting our fingers underneath the deck. So notice I am coming with the spread, some spreading the cards. I'm stopping somewhere. I'm coming over here on the bottom part of the cards. And then with my right fingers, I'm going underneath the deck and I'm coming in contact with this cart. By coming in contact with that card, I can actually hold the entire packet and then just let it go and keep on to that card. It's as simple as that. You're keeping on to that chord while you're letting the rest of the packet just flip. And it's a beautiful moment when you pull it off because it literally feels so natural. It's being used as a force most of the time. But if you use it as a color change like this, if you do it fast, it will look amazing. So you have the four and you need to do it fast like that. And you will be something like this will happen in the beginning where the cars just don't flip. But the secret behind it is that you need to just hold onto the side of the packet. See, I'm holding onto the side. And by holding onto the side, I can come down fast and the entire packet will flip over is just physics. It will happen by itself if you flip over. So you go down and up fast, just like that. But obviously, I can do this in the deck doesn't fall down. What I need to do is allow the courts to fall down. So I allow the packet to fall down by just slowly creating this gap. You see by creating this gap and doing it fast. The cord from underneath, we'll stick to my fingers. The rest of the packet will flip. And you will have this beautiful, beautiful spread change. 24. The Fan Change | Fairly Easy: Here is a color change that is, has been around for so long. The idea of fanning the deck and changing the identity of a playing card underneath the fan. It's a very beautiful color change. I'll give it that. And you need to do a couple of things in order to be able to perform it. First, a one-handed fancy, you'll have to learn that guys in another source. I teach it here in the zero to hero course. And there's other sources on the internet that you can look at. Then we have to be able to get a break beneath the top card. So we do the fan and here's what happens. We have this break over here and we're going to stick our right fingers inside that break and collect the playing card by clipping it in-between our ring finger, our middle finger, and our index finger. So without the fan, imagine I'm doing the fan, I'm actually doing this. I have over here the fan, I clip the playing card in-between those two fingers, and then I put it underneath the deck. So that's what's actually happening. So in order to ditch the chord afterwards, you're going to have to open your left fingers, put the card underneath. So when we have the fan, we go over here. I've collected a playing card by rubbing. That was a bad, very bad one. Let's go again. I've collected the playing card. I go twice with a fan over the deck. And on the second turn, I'm just going to place these chords underneath the deck and close the fan. Now, if you don't wanna do that because you're in a situation where maybe you have two playing cards for, this was three. Maybe you have two playing cards on top of the deck. Then you might want to kind of get that break. Maybe you want to change the identity and not have to ditch this playing card. Not a problem. You can just close the fan on top of the card in place, everything on the bottom of the deck. This way you're completely clean, like there's no face-up card, and you just have one playing card on top of the deck. So once more, we execute a double. So we go double. Yeah, I cut the deck swing, cut the deck fan here. While I get a pinky break underneath the top card, I found once and twice, I start closing this one. The court is actually the SAP. I just realized this code is actually faced up when you do it like this. In this situation, I would actually put the deck. I would close it and I will put it underneath and I won't have the course face up. Kind of a kind of a tricky situation, I would say if you don't want any sort of headache, just just perform everything face-up and then you can just end it right there. That's the fan change it comes from, it comes from this thing in court manipulation where you vanish the deck. It's basically the same idea. Instead of stealing one playing card over here, you actually still the entire deck and you turn your hand in order to vanish the deck, just like that. There you have it guys, the fan change. 25. Flick Change | Easy: This is a simple and visual color change that you can do right away. Get half of the deck and spread it on the table just like this. Or you can do it very nicely and keep it neat like this at this position. So it's gotta be facing your way. Then we're gonna get a card and another court back-to-back, just like that. There we go. We're going to place these two using our thumbs in the center of the deck. Make sure that you apply pressure with your thumb and your index fingers so that those two cords stay stuck. Now, we're going to create a little bit of distance between this packet from the table or the spread, of course from the table, which needs to be a little bit chaotic. And this card, and then we're going to hit it on this side of the courts. Just give it a flick. And in that moment that the courts are going to flip and you're going to have a beautiful color change. It's easy as direct, it's simple. What more do you need? 26. Angel Change | Intermediate: For this change, we're going to use a flourish, and this is called the angel display. It's when you stick a card on your thumb, basically. And it's done by just applying pressure on the court, but there's a small secret for it and let's get into it. The first thing that we do is we apply pressure with the nail from underneath the card so that the courts sticks only to the meaty part of our thumb. Because if we would apply pressure with both the both parts with both tips of our fingers, it might stick to the thumb or it might stick to the index finger. We don't know. We don't want that. We want just the thumb. So that's the secret behind it. Apply pressure with your nails. Just the nail is applying pressure there and this way, the card will stick to the thumb. But when you're doing it on top of the deck, you actually just need a pinky break underneath the top card. Apply pressure on the top of the deck. And then when you lifted the card will stick to your finger. And we're going to use this knowledge for a color change. So execute a double lift, get a pinky break underneath the top card. You're instantly going to apply pressure on this deck, show it to respect it, put it down, and then you're going to come up. And that card is going to stick to your finger over here. And then you're going to come down. Now, there is a work-around this, you're going to bend this card a bit more than the other one. So you lifted you bend it and you put it down, and then you basically have the cord prepared. So now when you execute a double lift, there will be some air between this chord and the one from underneath. So you can just show it to the spectator and then come up and down. Notice what I'm doing. I'm actually showing the deck applying pressure, putting the deck down. First. I'm actually coming with my fingers next to the card. I am still keeping my thumb right there on top of the deck. And then once I know that the cord is actually completely covered by my hand, I lift up the card. Now, as you can see, it keeps separating because I keep explaining. But this is supposed to happen in a swift motion, up and then down, instantly. Show, come up and then come down. And this will look like this. You come up and then you come down and you do this beautiful motion with the fingers. And many times you'll see magician add magical motions to their, to their color changes because it makes them well, more magical. Just like that. Show put down fingers next to it, block and then come back down, show up. The court hasn't stuck at all. Come up a bit. I've done it way too many times, one after the other. Now my finger isn't SDK. Show. You come up and you come down and the card has changed and then you flip it and that's it, guys. 27. Marlo Spread Change | Easy: The secret behind the Marlow spread change is to have a card face up in the center of the deck, just like this. And then take a card from the top of the deck, place it halfway inside. Then place the deck down and make sure that the card is placed on the right side because you're going to spread the deck and all of the cars are going to cover that card and reveal the one that is in the center. Not only that, but look at that. You actually have no other card because that one is hidden underneath the spread. If we were to take the courts and spread them now the court will be revealed, which puts us in a great position to perform the change once more, we put the card over there, place it down. And now you can spread the cards with just your hand like this. But make sure that when you spread them, the courts will cover the queen. Because many times I'm just going to take a random card here. You can go like that. The court will stick out here in the front, which is very, very bad. My fixed for this is to actually when you take the card, instead of placing your hand completely on the deck, place your thumb and middle finger on the top and bottom of the deck and spread the deck like that. So this way the courts are actually going to go into a straight line and reveal your change. 28. Zach Change Biz Variation | Intermediate: This is a variation of the sac change. And instead of using two chords and dragging the cart, we're actually going to use one single card. And we're going to position it here. And then have our fingers contact the face of the back of the playing card. The first playing card were contacted with our middle finger. And then we're going to drag this up while this one goes down. So we have this action happening just like this. One chord is going down and the other one is coming up with our middle finger. And that allows us to keep doing the color change on and on. So all you are doing over here is plucking the card out just like that. You're lifting it up with your middle finger and then you're grabbing it with your thumb finger and straightening it out. And when you put those two things head-to-head, come over here, grab it with your thumb, pull this one down, and at the same time you've come with this one up. Notice that I'm actually holding the playing card with my thumb so that I can actually grab the next one. Not only that, but I'm not placing the card alongside the entire deck. I am actually placing it further so that my thumb can come over here and grab the playing card. Then I move a little bit forward in order to provide the thumb some cover while it puts this card behind the deck just like that. And then we have a beautiful color change. It. Just make sure that you position yourself in such a way that the spectator does not see you grabbing the card. 29. Spring Flip Change | Advanced: This one is very similar to the other one, which we learned when we place the courts back-to-back and we hit them like this. But this action is actually happening while we do a thumb spring. So we have the two cards back-to-back. We grab them, we lifted their cup in this position, and then we insert them halfway through. At this point, you're going to have to do a thumb spring. If you do not know how to do a thumb spring, you can look at the Zero to Hero course that I have here or on any other course that you want on YouTube. The thumb spring is one of the most famous ones, is actually more famous than this one from the front. Because cord this have actually popularized it. And magicians have taken it because it looks much more beautiful and the courts can be controlled much smoother. Now, take a look at this C and take a look at that. They go much faster from the front than they do from the thumb. Because we have one finger over here that we can play with instead of four fingers in the front. I think that's just my not. So they haven't guys just positioned those two chords like that. Placed them on the left side door thumb spring, and you will have that beautiful change. 30. The Dracula Muck | Advanced: So this is actually an evolution of the techie change. We're going to hold the court in the same position as we did before. And then we're going to have a cart bend similar. But instead of coming over here and dropping the card and continuing over motion, we're actually going to poem the top card. So watch. I go underneath. And once I'm in that position, I can actually grab that card completely. This happens fast because I go underneath very fast. And that card will completely be in the poll. So watch, I go underneath and I instantly flex my fingers so that I can pull that playing hard. And once I'm in this position, I will turn my hand and I will drop that card. I have a card that is bombed. And then I've actually switched that out for the one in my palm. Over here, you will notice that the cord goes completely in the hand. I go with this corner in the middle of the playing card is very important because if I go to low, see what happens. If I go too high, then I can actually manipulate the playing card. So just as a point of reference, this coordinate goes in the center. So you go with the coronary in the center. You pull on the playing card, you stop. You turn, you drop this playing card on the table and you push this forward and then reveal the color change. This card will go on top of the deck, you just drop it in the deck or you digit in your lap. But if you're performing for social media, it doesn't matter. 31. The Tekky Change | Intermediate: For this color change, we're going to be hiding one chord underneath our poll, just like this. And the other chord is going to be on the table. As a quick explanation, here's what's happening. I'm actually inserting this chord underneath that one, just like that. So right now the court is being scooped up completely. It's a bit more difficult to show because I don't have a camera underneath the table. But if I would move the cart forward in my poem just like this, this is what would be happening. We go underneath the cord and then I am retaining that top card, while at the same time I'm dropping that court. So this is what's happening. This is why I moved the card deep into my poem so that I can spread my fingers. So the court is being clipped between my thumb and the rest of my poem as such. And the hand is relaxed on the table just like this. You have to be careful so that the court doesn't expose here in-between the pinky and ring fingers something that happens quite often in order to help you do bend the playing card on the sides so that it can insert the card underneath much more easily. Now, watch what I do. Don't keep I can keep my hand completely straight, but at the beginning I remember that I tilted it a bit forward so that I make sure that it goes underneath the playing card. Now as soon as I feel that it's underneath, I will relax my thumb and I will continue the motion with my hands just like that. But this time I won't be spreading my fingers because I know that chord is a little bit forward, so it will most likely show once more. We clip, we go underneath and we come over here. Just like that. That's the techie change. 32. The Throw Change | Fairly Easy: Here's a color change that I discovered in my first year of magic, and it's very simple. And I love the visual aspect of it. You execute a double lift and you situate this just like this on the side of the deck. This is because you're going to be pulling the top card of the deck to the left so that you can throw this card forward, executing a beautiful and visual color change. Sometimes you're going to have that happen. But the throw happens with the fingers. So if you're not familiar with throwing a card like this, then you should start training that part first, two fingers at the corner from above. And then then you go with the fingers front and back. You will release it when you are going forward. The thing is, this is probably something that everybody knows because you use it at poker when you deal cards. So you drag the top card is throw this one, but this one will be visible if you don't necktie the deck. So as soon as you throw the card, then neckties the deck. Instantly. Throw the card and neck tie, take the card, put it on top, and put the double lift back, and you have the throat change. 33. The Waterfall Change | Intermediate: Here's a beautiful waterfall color change that is very similar and there's very simple and similar to the slab change, similar in the idea that we have a card pond and we're just going to drop it on top of the deck. The way that you pull on the cord is up to you. You can use the Vernon pump just like this, or you can come and ponder it beforehand. And then doing. The idea is that you have a card pond in the deck. You have, you have a card palms in your hand over here. And then you're going to execute a waterfall and weight accord slip for a second. You execute the waterfall. And then at the last moment when you drop the cards, you're going to relax your hand. So that code from the hand drops as well. Obviously, in order to be able to do this, you're going to have to learn how to do a waterfall. Now, there are various sources in which you can actually learn how to do a waterfall. So you can search that one out. But as a quick idea, you're going to bend the cards in such a way that you insert in-between all of these cards, just like this. Notice how I'm slowly weaving. All of the cards are not bending the entire deck. I'm slowly caressing it so that each card goes on my skin at a different part. I am slowly releasing them. And you combine that together with the card farm. See over here I relaxed and the court will fall on top of the deck. And it's a beautiful simple color change that you can execute if you know how to do a waterfall. 34. Swipe Color Change | Easy: Here's a beautiful and very simple color change that you can do right away. All you need to be able to do is get a pinky break at the bottom card, on the bottom of the deck. Just like that. You pull down on that card and you do this by beveling the course towards the left so that all of these courts can actually be accessed with your finger. If you're a beginner, this is not easy. So what you can do instead is actually riffle one card with your thumb and instantly position your finger right on it. You riffle one card and then you position your finger on it. And this can be done in an instant on the back. So you can do it with the pinky, you can do it with the thumb, or you can do both at the same time you grabbed the deck and you're just going to pull that card down, which is very easy. And you positioning, once you're in this position, you're going to swing cut the top deck, which is the swing cup, can be a difficult curve at the beginning. But all you're doing is you're lifting the packet with your index finger. You're moving the index finger to the left and you're grabbing that packet with your left hand. Once you're in this position, you're gonna go once above that card. And then at the second time when you wipe that card with the other packet, you're going to drop that card on top by just relaxing your grip on the cord and letting it fall. Once more. We're over here. We go once and then at the same time, we're going to drop that card over there. Now, once you drop the card, you actually want to make sure that you flex your left fingers so that you can square the card up instantly. If you want to do a multiple color change, all you're doing is actually springing cards. You're dribbling chords from the right packet. So I'm just doing this like that. I'm just dropping chords. While at the same time I'm going over the packet. I know that this packet here on my right side is actually getting smaller and smaller. But as long as I do it a couple of times, it doesn't matter though, if you do it more than three times. Spectators. Well, queen of diamonds, two queen of diamonds. Yeah, it's a duplicate in the deck. Spectators will actually start realizing just what you're doing. Once it's perfect, you can use it as a vanished, can use it as a color change, you can use it as a production. There you go, guys. 35. The Ballerina Change | Intermediate: This is called the ballerina change, and it uses a double lift, which is placed at the corner of the deck. And you place your thumb on both cards here at the inner side of the courts. But that's because you're going to contact the back of the card. This is one chord and that's one cart. So when you actually move your fingers, they're going to separate, which is at the core of the color change. So contact the back of the cards with your middle finger. You're going to need slightly larger fingers for this. You're going to pull the top card with your thumb towards yourself and then you can come back. It's a small movement which is actually covered by the hand, as you can see, for a second, it will look as if that card has changed. So we have over here we cover the cord has changed, as you can see. Then when we come back, we're going to use our right fingers to square that card up and come back in the initial position. Place over here. When we cover, we move the cart, so we cover and we move the cart at the same time. Notice that I'm actually covering both chords and then I'm coming down in emotion so that I can cover the entire movement. And over here, I'm going to start positioning my fingers on the card that I wanted. I move my thumb with the card that will stop exactly in place, just like that. And I come down. Let me show you guys. Over here. We do the change. I position my fingers. I started going at an angle. And the way that I do it at an angle is by applying a lot of pressure with my thumb down and using it as a pivot point. Just like that. Over here, contact on both sides, color change happens. I place my fingers, I start using my thumb as a pivot point. And then I come here at the base of my thumb while clipping the coordinate with my right fingers that I can turn the card. And that's the ballerina change. 36. Dance Change | Intermediate: For this color change, at the start, we're going to bend the corner of these two chords a little bit with our thumb. This is going to help us in the beginning. So we can do the color change much smoother until we can actually do it for real. You turn one card face up. And notice that because that chord is bend, we can actually lifted those two chords as one single chord. And that's the whole secret behind this. So we turn one card and then we're going to lift both of those up with our right finger. We're going to tilt both our hands towards each other so that the right finger can go inside of the gap and push this cart forward. Then we're gonna place it back on top of the deck and execute a double lift. So once more, we turn it, then we can lift both of those. And all of this happens in this dance where I showed the card. And then I turned back. So it doesn't look weird that both of the hands are turning towards each other because in a sense, it looks as if I am pointing towards the card. So do get the motion first. You are over here, you come towards yourself. This can happen sometimes when you're taking multiple cards, or you can do is bend the deck the other way around so you don t have that happen to you. Turn the card, come back here. So this is the motion. I'm turning my left hand inwards and outwards. And the other hand goes inwards and outwards at the same time. So I think, oh, I forgot to flip those two over. So we have back-to-back, come over here. I take the chord C, I turn, I pushed the cart forward so the change can happen. I point that the court and then I turn it around like that. And just by turning my wrist and then I placed it back on top. It's a nice flowy color change that you can do it simple once you want to actually do it for real and not bend the cards, basically what you need to do is you turn those two chords and then you're going to refill with your thumb another card so that, Okay, let's get a two cars are contrasting. So we're going to refill with our thumb 12 cards. And once we have these two chords were in perfect position to execute the color change just like that. Third one card, you point at the court, and meanwhile you refold those two chords and you execute the change. 37. Table Spring Change | Advanced: For the sprinkler change, we're going to execute a double. And then we're going to place it on the table by bending it inwards just like this. When you place a double on the table, use your index finger nail to push down on the middle of the card so you can let go of your fingers and then lift with your nail. Do not press with the Pope of your finger because it might stick to the card. And that might actually just botch the cards and reveal that there are actually two cards on the table. So use your nail. Now, we're going to have to be able to do a thumb spring. You can learn this from various sources on the Internet, so don't get discouraged. If you really like the scholar change, as long as you get a thumb spring, you are able to do it. Basically, what's going to happen is we're going to spring the top card towards the left. And because it has been moved towards the left, and because it's bent like this, we're gonna be able to scoop it up, just scoop it up in the middle of the deck. It's very similar to the spread Marlow change, where the cord is actually hidden like this. But instead of hiding it underneath the spread, we're going to scoop it up with the spread and then we're going to hide it at the same time. So let me show you guys once over here. Notice that when I spring that code was instantly moving and the one from underneath didn't move at all. So the idea is to come with your left hand close to the card over here, starts bringing on top. Notice that the court has actually moved from this position. My left fingers are actually going to dig underneath the card while I keep springing. And then I'm going to square everything with my other hand. The secret behind this is being placed in such a way that you can scoop that card up. Let me show you were scooping right over here. I'm trying to do it slow motion, but I really got to catch that card. There you go. Notice that the court has actually been scooped up over here. I can just press it with my right hand. And the card has changed. We go once more. We go, I spring, I start scooping. If you scoop up both chords, is going to be a vanish, which might not be exactly what you want, but it's still a magical effect. Over here. We're going to spring on both and then we're going to scoop up. So I'm really going to give up trying to do this in slow motion because it really, I really can't do it like that. So we go over here, spring and then we scoop up just like that. Let's do it a couple of times together. You need a pad for this. So it's very important that you have a pad because when you're springing the cards, you're actually going to dig a little bit deep into the deck so you can scoop the card up. And you can only do that if you have a path just like that and then you scoop up, try and do this very focused. So when you're doing the spring, watch the cord as it's moving so you can take it up, you can take it up in the deck. Because if you're doing it mindlessly, it's not going to happen. So try and watch always the king. I mean, whatever card you have, how is it moving? Can I scoop it up? And then if you see it moving off, then try instantly to scoop it up and you don't even have to finish the spring. Notice that when I'm actually doing the spring, it's very small. It's a very small spring. That was that was a mistake. I pressed on the court with my pinky. It's a very small spring because that's all I need in order to take the card up. There. You have it, guys. That's the spring change. 38. Rub a Dub Dub Change | Intermediate: For this color change, we're going to use a technique that's called the rubber Dub, Dub vanish. And it was created by the late Darrow. And meanwhile, the move has actually been evolved into this version, which can now be found on Vanishing Inc, which I think you guys are really going to like. I actually learned this back in 2014 from a friend of mine novel way before it was published. So he had discovered it, and meanwhile somebody else had published it. You get situations like this and magic. We're two people think of the same idea. And I thought, what if you could do a color change, right? You have the card over here, you cover it, you can still see the corner, but then you show that the court has actually changed and you're going to do exactly the vanish, but you're going to retain the top card and you're going to leave the one from underneath. So execute a double lift. Move the card at an angle over here and place your finger, your thumb, on the index. Now notice that while my thumb is over there, I can actually move the card completely flushed with the rest of the packet. And this is possible because from underneath, my middle finger is contacting the back of the bottom card and my index finger is contacting the top side of the two cards acting as a pivot point. Because when I pull the cord, I'm actually pushing up slightly so that the court can revolve on top of the deck. So I'm in this position. And then I'm going to neck tie my wrist a little bit because I don't want you to see that I am stealing that card on top of the deck. And this is why the rest will go in. But it has to happen quite shortly. So the first thing that I do is I place the corner, the inner right corner of the cards on the table because I want that card from underneath to stay on the table. And then with my pinky, I'm gonna come over here and start applying pressure on that card so that it stays on the table because I want people to focus on that corner over there. And notice that I place my hand in such a way that first of all, I am covering the car just like in the ballerina change over here. By the time that you reveal the card, the card has actually changed. So over here, when I come over to the card, this is actually already the court from underneath. So I'm over here. I'm over here. I come over the cord. And at this point I go forward and then back a bit so that people will think it's the same cart. Now from this position, I can actually pull on the cord just slightly so that I can make sure that the card will stay on the table and we'll go down on the table. So I come over here, I pull the cord. People can see the corner. I am neck tying the left hand. If you want, can even drop it and attract attention over here on the card has changed. From here, I will place the card on top of the deck without anybody seeing. Then I will turn the double as-is. And there you have it guys. That's the rubber Dub Dub color change. 39. The Flickshift Change | Advanced: Here's a color change that's very similar to the shape shifter. You're going to do is basically pivot the cord outside of the tech, hit the corner and make the cord revolve just like this, 180 degrees. Now, you're going to have to do this a couple of times that you get used to the pressure that you have to put so that the cord springs around. But it's definitely much easier than the shape shifter. And this one can be done by absolutely anybody. It doesn't matter if you have smaller or bigger hands because you are taking the court outside between your index finger and your thumb, then all you have to do I do apologize for that. All you have to do is flick it with your thumb and middle finger. A thing that we should at this point be very familiar with, since there are many color changes that focus on flicks like that. Now, probably I went a little bit through fat too fast through this. So let's go step-by-step. You take a pinky break. We need the second card as you turn the top card over and then you can take the corner at the pinky with your index finger. And you contact the corner at the outer right corner with the thumb. And you're going to revolve this around the thumb. So you go forward until the cord is like this. And you move it outside of the deck because you want to be able to revolve the cord when you hit it. And if it's over here, it's going to hit the deck and it's not something that you want to happen. So here, over here, you move forward a little bit just by extending your thumb. And you're going to come over here at the corner and just flick it. Now, if you position this chord correctly, you can hit it as hard as you, okay, not that hard, but you can hear it. Hit it harder and not be afraid that the court will spin too much. Because when it does spin, I'm trying to hit it hard but not that hard. When it does spin, the corner is going to contact the top side of the deck and it's going to stop the two cards completely. And then you can just place those two cars on top. You're over here. Notice that I'm still pretty close to the deck because I want those two cores to hit the corner over here and then place the courts back, hit and then come back and just play around with this. Try and see just how hard you need to hit. Sometimes they hit a bit too hard. But if you hit too little, I mean the, the flick is very soft. You're gonna get something like that, which is not definitely not one-to-one or the court is going to revolve so slow that the eye of the spectator is going to be able to follow it. What you need is to find a nice middle ground between those two, where you have a beautiful color change. Just like that. I hope you guys have fun with that. 40. The Pull Snap Change | Intermediate: In order to do this color change, execute a double lift, and then hold it here at the thumb. In this position. Please. All three fingers from your left hand on the face of the card. And make sure that the cards are actually let me let me show you. So the court isn't actually sitting on top of the deck. It's actually sitting right next to it over here. So if it would be on top of the deck, we couldn't we couldn't do the change. But if it's sitting over here, which is something that you do by lowering your fingers, just like this. Then we're able to do the change. We start buckling the card just like this. And we come with our right hand and we grab the two carts. But here's what's going to happen. I'm going to press this chord down, while at the same time I'm going to pull the cord underneath the packet and move forward with this card. So let me show you guys. We are over here. The two chords are next to the deck. I am buckling the cards. I'm grabbing the car from underneath. I'm pulling that chord underneath. And then I'm moving forward towards the spectator so that they don't see that chord going under the deck. And when you weight, it failed when I told you, when you do it fast, even if you get something like this, you still have the card blocking it. So you can get away with just squaring it up. Double lift, hold. Make sure that it's next to it. Buckle. Go forward, release. Let's go again. Double lift, hold, buckle, graph from underneath. Go forward, pull the card with the three fingers under the deck. And then you can put the card here and show that it has changed. It's a beautiful change. It's snappy, works great for social media and real life, if you like the snap, change them. This is a nice variation that you can actually perform. 41. The GOAT Change | Advanced: Here is a hyper visual color change that happens under the snap of your fingers. Just like that. Basically you're going to snap the first card inside of the deck and then slow motion. What's basically happening is you're moving the bottom chord and you're snapping the front card underneath the packet. But at the base of this is actually the double lift, which is the most important one. Because when you are actually moving the cards over here, you are putting them in such a way that when you relax your thumb, that bottom chord is going to move and the front curve is going to stay in position. And if you have a very new deck, Let's see e.g. this one, then it's going to work like a charm. You get a card, you flip it over there. And notice that all I have to do is just slightly relax my hand. And the court from underneath is going to move, which is very nice for a new day, just like that. So what we need to learn first is the double lift. Let me put this course over here for a second. Pink cards. So we're gonna get a double lift, a double, a break underneath the two cards. We're going to grip the courts at the corners with our thumb and middle finger. And then we're going to find a place in the deck with our thumb. But this is going to happen at the same time with the double. So I'm basically clipping the card with my thumb, moving it down and then finding a spot where to insert it. So my thumb is here on top of the courts. I grip the courts. I start moving my thumb together with the cord. Notice that it doesn't stay on top of it. It stays underneath it all the way. I go into the center and then I buckled the cards because I want them to turn into an arrow. And if there are buckled like this, the outer left corner is going to become like an arrow. And when I push down on the bottom part of the deck, I can actually use this to insert the two cards inside. Now we're going to insert the first corner. And then we're going to rotate clockwise with our middle finger in order to insert the other to the other coordinate. So we go over here and then with our middle finger, we return here. And then we place the card. Now your left thumb has to stay in the same position because if you relax it, and this is where we bring the other cards so I can show you. If you relax it, then the two chords are going to split. We're in this position. And if you relax the courts are going to grip, pull down, insert inside, turn clockwise, place the card at that position. So notice that the core displaced completely in the direction of the coordinate. So it's not placed like this. It's not placed like this. It's placed at an angle so that the corner and the cards are aligned. I have moved my left pinky over here because when we snapped the court let me show you. If we snap the card and the pinky is and there, the court is going to jump out of the deck. You're over here and you snapping. And it didn't jump now, but many times it will jump out of the deck just like that. So what we need to do is get the pinky in position while we are doing the double lift, we're putting the court there were moving into pinky in here. You're going to relax your hand and you're going to position in such a way your fingers that your middle finger is going to contact the coordinate of that card. Now, this needs to happen fast because if not, obviously people are going to notice that the two carts have split over there and then we do it to other cards. Replace it. Notice that when I place the double, I'm actually moving grip to my index and thumb so that I can continue inserting the cord inside of the deck because I don't want the court to be out jogged way too much. I don't want it like this. Well, if you want a very visual color change, you can do it like that. But usually you want the cord inside of the deck door over here and then you snap your fingers while at the same time, you relax the thumb, you place the middle finger already in position. If I want to move my thumb, then my finger would hit both of those cards. But because I'm relaxing my thumb, then my finger is going to hit only the code from above. This is called the goal change by Dan and Dave. And it literally blew people away when it showed in their DVD. And then some, and I remember being a kid and discovering this change and literally thinking it was edited because I couldn't, I couldn't understand how it how it could be done, but then I learned it. So now I'm passing it over to you guys. And I think it's a very beautiful change, will take some time to get used to. But believe me, when you pull it off in front of somebody after many, many, many times practicing yet you're going to feel so happy about it. There you have it guys, That's the goal change. 42. Bottom Steal Change | Advanced: Here is a very classic color change that has been around for hundreds of years because it's based on a bottom palm. This is something that magicians have used for color changes as well, but they've mainly used it to steal a chord from the bottom of the deck and then probably produce it from different parts of their body or from a spectator shoe and whatever, any position. Basically, you do this by actually gripping the deck in a Biddle grip over here. Positioning your right pinky finger at the altar right corner at the bottom of the deck. And then you are going to push this core towards the side. This happens as the deck comes in contact with the hand. Notice that the court has actually been moved in this position. And this happens because once that card comes in contact with the pinky, the pink is going to help it move at an angle like this. Once it's at an angle, we all we have to do is move our hand so that we can grab that card in palm position and then color change. The court we move the cart has been pivoted, and then we can take it and change the cart. You can do it from a normal position as well like this. All you have to do is place your pinky in that position and then use your index finger to pivot the card out just like that. So it's a very simple motion of pivoting over here. You stop when you feel like you have it in good position for your card, for your palm to just take the card out and do the change pivot. Take the cord out to the change pivot. Don't drop the card. Pivot, take the card out, do the change. When you're taking the card out. You'll notice that you actually have to dig a bit deeper so that you can contact the inner left corner of the chord with the base of your thumb. This is completely okay, and it won't attract any attention. It will just look as if you are stroking the deck in a gentle manner like this. And then like that. So just make sure that you have the pink team position. You pivot the court, you steal it, and then you drop it on top. There you have it, guys. 43. The Pop Out Change | Advanced: There is a beautiful color change that you can do on the table. The first thing they are going to do is learn how to pull back one card from the bottom of the deck. Now you can do this. You can do this while you are twisting the deck as you're putting it down, which is something which I like doing. If not, while the deck is down on the table, what you're going to do is press down on the deck, move it forward. Now this is a kind of old deck, but it can definitely work with any, you move it forward. This will leave one single chord on the table because it's similar towards spread. But instead of spreading the cards, you're actually just going to leave one card. Once you have the one chord, you're going to press down on it and bring the deck back. And this will actually give you this break that I'm talking about. This break and hit hidden by the deck and held with the thumb. And this is actually a move from, I forgot the magicians name, but i'm, I'm gonna put it in the credits. So we have this held by the finger, which is something that you can do even by springing by your dribbling one card and then getting into position. It's not a hard move. You can definitely get it down. So you have it over here. And then we're going to move this chord forward at this angle in such a way that we can actually grip the deck and the cart. Notice that I placed it at an angle over here because in a minute I'm actually going to square that card up underneath this packet. So I'm going to pop this card. And at the same time, I'm going to square that card up. So you will have to split these two actions into two. First, you will have to learn how to pop the court. And the popping happens by releasing the card. By doing that, just releasing the pressure from the thumb on the card. And at the same time coming up and down with the deck C. And if you do that, you're gonna get a pop. Now, if you start doing it better and better, the chord is actually going to pop out at an angle. You don't want to drop the card and then go up and down. It's something that happens at a fraction of a second because I am actually going up, I'm releasing and then coming down. So up, release down. And by doing that, I am making sure that I'm shooting the car down. But sometimes I've noticed that if I tell people to drop the course as they're coming down, it just doesn't work for them. So they have to make it one-by-one, release, up and down, release up and down. And then once they can get that, they can give up the idea of release first and then go up, release and down. So this part over here is actually known as the benzene has pop out. And it was initially done like that. So you are over here, you have the break, and then you pop that card out from over there. From this. Once you combine this with what I just showed you a second ago, you have over here, you're going to square this card up just like that. Just as if you're very softly stroking the deck and you're popping this card at the same time, and you will have the color change happen. Now this is, a lot of things are happening at the same time over here. But while doing this to people, they love it because it's something that magicians, every magician on the planet has played with the pop-out, the busiest pop-out. But nobody has actually done a color change with it. So if you learn this, you'll know something that more than 95% of magicians don't know. There we go. Just like that. The beautiful thing about it is if you want to go a step further, but I don't think you guys will want that. You can actually do it multiple times if you take multiple bricks and you can actually do it as a switch as well. So if you do it face down, you can do it as a switch as well. So that is the Pepto color change. I hope you guys enjoyed that. 44. SnapShot Change | Intermediate: Here's a beautiful and simple color change that if I would show you without the cover, it would look pretty silly. I mean, you're just doing this, right? You're just flipping the two carts like that. Now. Honestly, when I'm doing it, I think that you could actually make it look good even if you weren't cover it. If you'd be pretty fast about it. But we're not there and let's not talk about other things. The first thing that you need to do is get a break. We need the second card and you can do that in various ways. So you turn that front, the top card over, you have now two cards back to back. Notice that if you put your thumb here at the index of the car and you move your index finger. Index and index. I just realized. So if you put your thumb at the PIP over here and you remove your index finger. If you go up and then down, very sudden, the court is going to revolve around the thumb, just like that. Now, this is a matter of training because all you have to do is you have to come down. Notice that if I go if I go very fast, the court will already turned. The two chords will turn very fast. Just like that, I'm doing a sudden movement, which is what we're going to use when we covered what a snap. So you have to get used to doing the sudden movement. If you see yourself not being able to do it, try and do it slow and see what's happening. So if you go up and down without the thumb, chords are just going to jump. But if you put the pulp of your thumb over here at the corner, notice that the courts are going to revolve. So it's all about a matter of practice and seeing. Okay, how can I, how can I do this? I have to go fast. I have to go faster. There we go. Once you go faster, you will realize that maybe the chords are actually turning towards your left, which is not something that you want to happen. And this happens because you're holding down with your thumb on the corners, which is now what you want to do. What you wanna do is make sure that the thumb is over there and it acts as a pivot point. So you're basically hitting the courts. So you're not keeping them in place, but rather you're relaxing your thumb over there. And when you're coming down, you're making sure that they can actually keep moving. Because if they can't keep moving, then the only part that's going to revolve is the cord around your thumb. So keep your thumb relaxed at the corner. And you'll notice that just a small tap is going to cause those two chords to flip. And by tap, I mean the courts tapping on your thumb as you come down with the thumb. Just like that. Now all you have to do is cover that with a snap. And you got yourself a nice, beautiful color change. There you go, guys. 45. The Snap Flat Change | Fairly Easy: Here's a color change that I learned when I started doing magic. And it's one of those color changes that were thought on VHS tapes. It still hits hard and is very visual. So I think you guys are going to have a lot of fun doing this one. You're going to execute a double lift and then you're going to move the cards to the right, but you're not going to keep them perfectly to the right of them a little bit lower. So that when you actually pull that card towards yourself, it will not be exposed in the front side of the deck because that's what's going to happen. Let me show you from an experience point of view. You're going to pull that card while at the same time, slam that card down. Just like that. Very similar to the rubber Dub Dub color change where we're hiding the card, but this one happens in a snap, so you're going to pull the cord and hit that second card down at the same time. So if you know what's happening over here, then you can already start doing it. Because you're holding the card from underneath with your three fingers. From the top you have the thumb. You can freely pull this card. So all you have to do is pull the cord and then flick your finger while at the same time turning your wrist so that the spectator won't see that you have an eight of clubs over there. A couple of times, there you go. Something that might happen is you don't pull it too fast or you pull and somebody sees the card, Don't worry about it at the beginning. So all you need to do is just focus on all of the actions coming together as a color change. So do them one by one first you pull, then you hit a new turn. And you will slowly see that the gap between the actions becomes slower, becomes smaller and smaller until the point when there are one unified action just like this. Then you put it back on top, you turn it in, you have the color change. 46. Color Changes as Vanishes | Concept: A lot of these color changes can actually be used as vanishes. Let me show you what I mean. If I take a playing card and I turn it face up, and I steal that second chord. Now, when I will actually do the change that we learned, that code will actually vanish because I am covering it with a face down card. That is just one example. If I were to do the earnings change in the same way. Oh, sorry about that. I will do the earnings change in the same way. It's a vanish. Again, if I take two cards, you know, the one that we learned. I don't think we learned this one though, but you can use this one as a production as well. If you have a color change, think about, can I actually use this as a vanish? Now there are ones that don't work as advantage, e.g. this one or this one, they don't really work as vanishes or as productions or anything else that doesn't, that doesn't work. But there are other ones that really do work. Let's see, we have the duck change. This one doesn't really work as a vanished, but it can work as a switch. So if you have one card face up to each other, right? And I can say I have the eight over here. We're going to keep the eight on top, which is the snap, changed them to the Joker because the two courts have actually flipped. And you can do the same thing with anything that requires flipping. You can change those two chords positions. So this is one aspect of color changes that I think is really beautiful. The fact that you can use them as vanishes. And I just wanted to point that out so that you guys can look at the changes that we have learned and see, Hey, can I actually use this as a varnish? 47. Linking Color Changes | Practice Idea: In this section we're going to look at linking color changes. That's when you take a color change such as this one, are well from a seven of hearts, when eight of hearts, Let's get to contrast in quotes. You're going to have that happen to. You go from a six to a king. Then I can do another change. Then I can just keep on going, go from the king. The six to the duck change. Then from here to the shape shifter. Oh, sorry about that. This one. And people will completely get mesmerized just because the court keeps changing and changing those about what? So regarding connecting, there's no real thing about it. All you have to do is just make sure that you don't stick with the same two playing cards. E.g. here, I might change it to three cards so that I can take these two and change it back to the nine. If I keep changing the five and then, and then we go the nine. And then the five people will understand that those cards are actually back-to-back. But if I take the five and I change it once into the nine, and then I take a break beneath the second corner, the first one, and I do the turnover change. We have a new card, we have the jack. In this position. We have two cards face up. So I can take the jack. Sorry about that. I can take the jack and change it into the five. Now. I can cut the Jack in the center right over here, control it using any position. And then we can go back into the jack, change it back into five. So I can play around with the things that I have learned so as to link them. And this, this, all you need to do for this is just performed. The things they've learned. Say, I go from that one, I know I have two cars there. Now. This one I'm going to lose. This one. I snap my fingers, and then it has changed back into the Joker, which I can change back into the seven, which if I hit here, I changed back into the joker. This is so trippy when you have the lady there and you flip her and still do. I think this is a beautiful aspect when you're performing either on camera or in real life to somebody. Just the idea that a court can change constantly into other playing cards. It's very beautiful. Last thing that I like to do is I combine them with card history in order to cut the deck. Meanwhile, so that I can keep performing with different courts. There we go. Then we go here. And I'm done. That's linking color changes, guys. 48. Congratulations !: There we have it, guys. I think you need to applaud yourself because we just reached the end. I mean, I don't know if you sped up through all of them. Maybe you went and you collected one that you like, it doesn't matter. You finish this course and I congratulate you. I really hope that you take these color changes for a spin and you play around with them. They're the things that I loved performing on the bus. I love performing them on the metro. I love when you are, when I'm sitting. If you perform color changes, people will be very attracted to them. And I just like doing it because it's very offbeat. They're just watching and being mesmerized without having to come in contact with me and asked me for a magic trick. And that's perfect. Vanishes, productions and color changes or visual things of magic that you can do anywhere. And people will understand that it's magic instantly. If you're doing a card trick to yourself or practicing, nobody will know what you're doing, but something like this. You can do anytime. These are great for social media. These are great for real life. That's why I call it changes, are some of the favorites for card magicians, evil magicians that don't really do sleight of hand. They still do color changes because they're so beautiful. So thank you guys very much for giving me your time and for living magic. I love magic. You love magic. I'm very happy about that. I'll see you guys around here in Skillshare. I have a bunch of other courses in Korean history. I, of course, there's inquired magic with Qualtrics and more sleight of hand. I love sleight of hand because that's where I'm actually good at and I focus on and we'll probably see each other some more. So have a great day. My name is B's and your name is awesome.
