If you have the Trilogy, its the same as Tivo 2

and It would help people if you said what dvd/book this comes from
but your lucky I jusrt learnd it

The ego change is from daniel gracia project dvds. It is taught voulume one tirck EGO.

Yes, I know it's the same as TiVo 2.0, and the Queens....... I'm just having problems with it and they don't exactly address the issue that I'm having problems with on the Trilogy. (I don't actually have the DG project... just from what I've heard around it's pretty much the same thing, except with a different finger, if you know what I mean. maybe I'm wrong though since I don't have the dvd...?)

I had problems with it to. Try learning the top shot then all you have to do is not release the card and it helped me.

If it is noise you are having a problem with, then try getting a thumb break under the top card. It makes it silent as a lamb (pun intended). If not, I can't really help you as the change seemed to come naturally to me. Remember, practice makes perfect!

actually I don't mind the sound really... but I might try the thumb break thing.

The thing with top shot, is that you have to use your pinky... I'm using my middle finger (which is what makes it an ego change, if I'm not mistaken right?)

I usually use my middle finger with my topshot, since I learned it from watching so sorry if I confused you.

I usually do it with my ring finger. Try that, and you can also try beveling the deck to the left, that helps a lot of problems with this change.

Alright... I'll try all this out. I think maybe what I mostly need to do is practice so nobody here has had problems with more than one card coming off ever then huh?

If more than one card is popping up then youre not gripping the deck tight enough (with your first finger and thumb). Also, dont just use your ring finger to 'pop' the changed card up, use all three and let it pivot around your first finger (or middle, whatever works best for you).
