@raccoon0413 Ontario =)

[lilxcupkes]

you're really good, and what kind a accent is that?

[TricksterAP]

@lilxcupkes I suppose it's a Canadian one XD But since I'm an immigrant, it's a Canadian-Korean accent? Haha

i've spent quite a while practicing this trick now and so far it works out pretty good.

i would never have thought that reducing the flapping noises would become one of the hardest tasks here. I'm trying to follow all the advices given in the video, but for some reason i can't get it silent enough. and i don't want to slow down the performance too much, because i'm afraid spectators become suspicious. any advice?

[TricksterAP]

@xJin123 Maybe try deepening the pinky's grip. The further it grips the card inwards, the more control you have, meaning you make less flapping noise; well at least for me that is. =)

@jackalwill When you go straight to the point, there are lots of little details that are missed out on. Those little intricate details are what makes the difference between a good and a great magician. Well, this is more directed towards beginners who need those little details however =)

@TricksterAP When covering with the palm of my left hand (right handed). I noticed sometimes the card will start to scrape up and try and "unbend" itself making multiple snapping noises and sounding really sloppy? Is that something that just goes away with practice?

[CrunchyZebraHooves]

if you do it with your left hand the pips will be block...doesnt look as good

[Zyhox]

it's really hard

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between Cardini and Ego Change?

[TricksterAP]

@BrenProductions You can't just flick it with your pink. That's why you use your right hand to cushion that sound. See how the right hand's palm contact the card being pulled away. Make sure that you also have an empty space below the deck of your left hand. Pay attention to the small details I go through because I put those there for a reason. Hope that helps =)

thx 0 i really like this change :D

This colour change, is a refinement to Cardini's Flick change. In summary, if Daniel Garcia claims this is a new move, he is sadly mistaken. John Steranko's shadow Steal was published way before this in "Steranko on Cards" before Daniel Garcia was even born... I hate plagurism...
