Hey Wayne, I know im not a mod or anything, but I have set up a discussion of the top change in the card magic forum tonight that is going on right now. But i think few ppl are paying enough attention to it or not enough have tried the move because they are too scared they will get caught. I...

Another of the many subtleties to the top change is the use of the deck hand for pointing. I have heard of some who would point to a spectator with their palm up right hand mid-change to distract from the move. I think this could be a valuable cover to the others already mentioned.

I honestly had never tried this i had never heard of Sankey's work on it. But i just tried it in the mirror and it looks great!

Nino, Grip with all three, then when you come away make sure you just have all three fingers in line again and nothing will have changed. Zeanator, You need confidence my humble friend! Thats why we are here, so you can find a suitable cover and misdirection for this much needed move.

I was hoping this would come up because i know it is a bit of controversy with the move. I personally use all three fingers for the move, but it is usually a matter of preference. I feel like the index and thumb is more natural but i think its a miniscule difference to hold it with the middle...

The noise does seem to have become a problem for many. I think the simple fix is the same one for most other sleights: a light touch. People handling the cards to heavy causes them to "talk" during the transition and create the clicking and the extra noise. I think too many ppl are trying to...

The move, the myth, the legend, the top change is one of the building blocks of card magic. At the surface it seems to be such a simple move, which it is, in method. But doing the move openly would be disastrous. So it has come with many takes on misdirection, subtleties, and variations to...

Good! I hope everyone will attend :D

probably 7 or 8. I have track practice and then homework so once that is over around that time, most likely 8

Ok do yo some good feedback on the poll, I will start Thursday night Rountables tomorrow night. Haven't decided which move yet, but i think i have one in mind. If you can, or if they are reading this, get some senior card guys in here to get some really good experience tips.

I have some moves in mind, but if you guys want to make any requests for following weeks just shoot me a PM

Hey guys. I was thinking of an idea for a weekly discussion here on the card magic forum. Wanted to know what you guys think. In the movie Shade (which I hope you have all seen) Vernon says to the Professor in the Magic Castle, "I remember when we used to stay up all night talking about one...

Yes I was curious, my top change makes sound as the cards being switched slide against each when they come in contact. Is this normal? Is there a technique to elimintating this?

This is for a rehandling of an effect i'm working on. I have been working on the method for a little while., but I seem to have hit a snag. I don't know where to go from a point i'm at. I had a move devised but it didn't seem very smooth in real time. The situation is this: I have the deck in...

How did you develop the Harbor Change and its other additions and applications?

What kind of moves is Mike Hankins going to bring to the table?

The one by Aaron Fisher is just a half pass i don't think he worked it out as a cover pass per se. Richard Kaufman's "On the Pass" video has a teaching of a Cover Pass, which is the one I use.

Now every time I do my retention vanish i'm going to think of that music haha

Well, I understand most, if not all, magicians would consider Michael Ammar a better magician than Jay, so maybe his method, although alien to me, would be better. But thanks scott you definitey helped me out there honestly. It will be good to already have some coin moves down starting out of...

I think that will definitely work for me LLin because I am viewed as the same type of person actually.
