This is a one handed top change variation by Harry Lorayne. I encountered this technique from Hugard and Braue's Expert Card Technique and encountered it again in Michael Vincent's Classic Magic DVD. I hope you guys like it.
This move was originally in print in 1868 in Secrets of Conjuring and Magic by Robert Houdin. It was not considered performance ready sleight until Arthur Buckley published the move as "A Different Top Change" in his book, Card Control. He made worked it so that it would be a hidden sleight. Lorayne republished and renamed it after himself in Close Up Card Magic 30 years later. The maneuver is nice, but I saw an opportunity for proper crediting
I like the move, and it appears to be smooth, but you may want to consider reshooting it without the camera movement. Your hands disappear out of frame, resulting in a more suspicious moment. (The Ultra Move will stand by itself, so no need to call it into question with the camera work). Good work, though!
