Difficulty
The difficulty level in the beginning seems up there in the 8 to 10 range but if you keep working at it then you realize that it isn't all that hard with some practice. And just so you know the clipshift is totally worth $40. As Chris Kenner said its worth its weight in gold (I'm assuming the dvd?).

The Clipshift is one of those sleights which will take forever to get down perfectly (like Chad does it) but, you will be able to get a pretty good Clipshift within a month or 2 after purchasing the DVD. When I say pretty good I mean that as in performing for a live audience.
And, on the DVD it isn't just 1 trick. Chad teaches numerous effects utilizing the Clipshift and lots of other sleights on the DVD, the Clipshift isn't the only one.

P.S.I personally love the Clipshift and would recommend it to anyone but, it's always good to research and make the smart choice before buying anything.

It took me a long time to get the first few steps down and found it really hard and almost impossible. I'd say it's an 8 or 9, but I'm really not sure of anything that I know how to do that's harder than the clipshift.
I really like the move though and found it to be a great purchase even though I have yet to do it in public. There are a lot of great applications for the move on the dvd and I personally thought that the DVD was just very entertaining as I found Chad really funny and his tricks to be really entertaining and clever - Tricycle is actually pretty deep and metaphorical too.

I agree that it is about an 8 or a 9 in difficulty. I have reletively small hands but eventually I got the mechanics of the move down fine. The hardest part for me so far is making the move silent. However, once I can perform "%#$@ OFF" (a bonus trick) flawlessly $40 and a couple months of practice will seem like nothing. Well worth it!

I was doing it perfectly within about ten minutes....don't know what you're all talking about?

Well, I'd say once I started out it was probably difficulty of 8 or 9, but once you practice and make it feel comfortable it becomes gradually easier. This also isn't a thing that you will practice until you get it down then stop doing it, you will want to keep on practicing this even when you can do it without flashing and in good time. I practice this move constantly, it just becomes natural after a lot of practice.

Hey Ramo. From what I've been seeing from you, your very new to magic. By buying this DVD, you will not be able to do a single thing on it. Not only is the Clipshift hard, but the tricks on the DVD require you to already know several sleights or be used to cards so that when Chad quickly goes over them, you can learn them simply by mimmicking his movements. For your own good, don't purchase this DVD.
I would recommend you get the book The Royal Road to Card Magic. That will take you from a beginner to a pro. When you read and perfect everything in that book, the sky is the limit.
Hold off on Surfaced for a long while.

dude wtf im not new to magic iv been doin this **** for like 3 years i just didnt have the internet at that time
No need to bash the moderator Ramo. It was probably just a misunderstanding. I'm sure he meant nothing by it and was only trying to be helpful. Anyways, the Clipshift is probabably at a difficulty of 8/10 to begin, but starts to get easier as you progress. Pretty much what everyone else said
