I've been doing this change for a while now. When I first saw it done, I worked out a way that was right for me, and never bothered buying the DVD. Over the years, I've seen it done in all of these combinations. What do you do?
I grip from the top with my right hand by the index corners, and using my middle finger. I find this a lot easier to do with small hands.
Also, does anyone know which way DeSouza, the inventor, does it?
(If you think I'm exposing the trick, too much, then I'll take it down.)

The four alternatives are:
Grip by index corners, using your middle finger.
Grip by index corners, using your thumb.
Grip by non-index corners, using your middle finger.
Grip by non-index corners, using your thumb.

I think it's more important how you finish the shapeshifter then how you do it, as it's just a blink and the card changed into another, but after that ... and yes I do perform shapeshifter with my middle finger

I personally grip it by the index corners, and use my thumb. I find that this has worked very well for me, but I think I'm going to have to give the other methods a try.

This entire thread is exposure and discussion of an effect taught in a copyrighted DVD. How is this being allowed?

If you want to know the way that DeSouza does it, just buy the Shapeshifter DVD or buy one of DeSouza's products that teaches the move.
