My heart skipped a beat when I saw this thread...thought it was gonna be a 2 FPS webcam recording...luckily it wasn't. Very good performance and for only having the DVD so long.

dont bend the deck so much, get the card into position smoother, and dont shake the deck that much 
Too much shaking, and too obvious/exaggerated of a bend. Just bend slightly and then shake just before the change happens.

I can tell you're bending the deck, and I can tell you're shaking it, but that darn move still befuddles me.
An amateur learns the trick until he can get it right, a professional learns the trick until he can´t get it wrong.
I always go by that golden rule. And if the one who knows the trick can see how you do it then when i start watching it closer(what i wont) i think i could figure it out too.

The clipshift always astounded me because the same thing can be done with a modified ohtp....
Still, good performance, I don't have the dvd, but I'll tell you it looks a bit fishy when you bend/shake the deck so much....

And people making that comment seems to believe, for some reason, that the clip shift is merely a color change.. =/
It is, in fact, an incredible utility move - it has so many applications.

I said modified OHTP, there's a way to end it clean and "clean", still the clip looks like a cool sleight to learn and since it's a utiity move, it should be worth the money....
Recently I've been using a modified OHTP a friend of mine showed me, that gives you almost instantaneous clean-up, but the only problem with the top palm in general that I have is that you cannot curl your first finger unless you have very large hands. The Clipshift lets you hold the deck like you would during normal biddle/end grip.
I have to agree with everybody, it was a good performance, but try to cut down on the bending and shaking of the deck. It makes it looks fishy. If you watch Dan and Davie (yes I said Davie) or Chad do it, you can see they only shake the deck as the move actually happens.
