Hey Dudes
How long did you practised "Shifty by Chris Kenner" before you did a live performance do someone other?
And what were the reactions you get from the trick?
did they saw the "move" or did they went crazy?
thanks for helping

Hi :) I got it down after about 5 solid hours of practicing. Not perfect, but performable :)

And what I did, was performing it to one guy in a room with about 8 people or so, and he freaked out, so the others of course heard that, and kept asking, "what did he do?".

So I told him that he should tell the others what he just saw, and that was amazing, because laymen often do not comprehend what they are seeing, and with a move, or trick, as visual as Shifty, he just went, "I dunno, he just tilted his hand (while gesturing some weird arm motion), and then it was on top!"
That was a nice moment.
I of course showed the others a little later, and they went nuts as well :D

Go buy this trick!

Yeah took me about a week or two to get it perfect. People love it. Even if the move is obvious to a magician who knows how it is done, it still seems to fool the **** out of spectators. That's what i love about it. It still kills even if you mess a little. Great move..
