A few things. 1:: This mans sleight of hand is unparrelled (obviously just about all magicians know the snap change, therefore we wont ever think its clean, no matter who does it. But his awesomeness is definity evident in the Harbor Change. One word. Damn.) 2:: A good tip for those trying to master this... when motion in the hand is incorprated to the snap change, it makes it a hell of alot harder to catch (as evident in the tap change). and 3:: No offense intended. But is it just me or is this guy trying a little too hard to be Daniel Garcia (extremly evident in the Harbor change video.)

Well, I won't answer you with a direct answer n:b about being like Danny G...but I WILL say this: My MEX-Change is almost complete. (MEX-Change is like a sex change only I am going from white to Mexican). Once THAT is out of the way, then the only thing left to do to be like DG is to get well, GREAT at every effin thing I touch. Seriously though...this is my true personality. I have been doing stand up, impressions, and improv comedy since I was 15. (I have since stopped stand up to focus on magic). But that is pretty cool to be compared to one of magic's biggest influences... :)

Tap Change looks neat - Although we all know the Snap Change, I feel that they werent that clean. May have been just the HD filming. I dont know.

Awesome job again Mike. I saw this change many years ago but never got around to learning it. Excellent job of breaking everything down and making it easy and fun to learn. Can't wait to see your next 1on1.

Best Music to date so far..for Theory11 I think.. JB or anyone if you could answer..who is now doing the new music for the vids? Doesnt sound like Dana anymore. Im really "digging" the new sound. Any where anyone can get the mp3 or any mp3 downloads? Maybe future..?

Not only is there clean ups...but I believe also making the final cut is a GREAT movie recommendation...

Looks good. Not sure if he teaches clean ups, but here's one I like ;) Clean up for the snap change: http://bit.ly/wktzy
