I'm looking into getting one of these color changes, but they're both only ranked "Intermediate"
Can somebody rate both of these out of 10, and compare the angle sensitivity? I heard the vcr change is very angle sensitive and hard to perform live, but i'm a little more interested in that.
If you say "only" intermediate, I assume you have experiences with color changes (based on your word choice). so with that, I don't recommend any of those 2 changes. I would recommend an on the deck change if your work is more in the hands and off of the table. If you are more on the table, then it's okay to get an off the deck change.
Revolver Change by Kelvin Chow is my favorite color change, and it's available here at the theory11 1-on-1 section for $6.95. It's the best $6.95 I've ever spent in a while. I highly recommend this one. To me, it's not Advanced. If you have experience with the secret mentioned in the 1-on-1, you shouldn't really have a problem learning this. Andrei goes over the secret sleight just in case you don't know it (which I am SURE you probably know it).
It includes both versions. An off the deck version first, THEN the change with the deck still in your hand, which is in no way different (in my opinion).
So all in all, I HIGHLY recommend the Revolver change. The angles actually aren't that bad. If you are good with covering the secret sleight mentioned IN the 1-on-1, you shouldn't have a problem with the concealment of the move. It's a beautiful change, and every motion looks the exact same. Since it is also spinning, there are great presentations for this, and it looks more impossible because it MOVES as the change happens.
I hope this response has pushed you to purchase the Revolver Change, because it is an absolutely fantastic color change to add to your repertoire. Kelvin has performed this on stage with people sitting to his left, center, and right. No one caught it and everyone was stunned. That can tell you in a nutshell how good angles are on the thing.
