Does anyone know of any DVDs or Books that will teach me some new nasty card changes that I can blow minds with?
First off, a color change in and of itself doesn't blow minds. It is a tool to be used as part of a well thought out and scripted routine. There is only so many times I can watch videos of "pick a card, lose a card, find wrong card and do color change" without losing my mind.
That being said, check out The Color Change: the Arcane Art of Transfiguration with Playing Cards by Crispin Sartwell. It is available as a book and as a pdf from
Lybrary.com and a a book from other magic shops.
