The performance looks good. Im not sure of the method but it does look sort of similar to one of Zach Mueller's videos I saw a while back. Will try to find it and post a link so you can confirm whether or not it is the same method.

EDIT - FOUND IT...

ehh... his looks better hahaha. I don't think it's the exact same method but I think it's similar tho.. I'm not totally sure to be honest because some parts of the video make me think the idea is the same, but then the part when he changed the card then changed it back make me think otherwise.

I actually kinda like frostjr's one better it just seems somehow smoother, I'm not entirely sure why.

Frost's is the good one, I like it very much.

EdwardFrostJR · Mar 3, 2011

Thank you very much guys I appreciate it. I like that it ends up clean after the dirty work. That's always fun. lol

I dunno, man . . . I watched 40 seconds of you shuffling and your hands going in and out of the camera, and then when the change finally happened, it was iffy. Not very smooth at all . . . maybe you should re-film it?

EdwardFrostJR · Mar 3, 2011

lol yeah you are right. I probably will. Thank you for your comment good sir.

EdwardFrostJR · Mar 4, 2011

It looks like one-carded invisible pass.

magicmaster · Mar 4, 2011

That one is much better! I think the idea has been used before, though I'm not sure by whom.

EdwardFrostJR · Mar 4, 2011

Thank you very much! and yes I believe it has.. I'm hearing it's the herman pass with just one card.. I don't think I have seen the one handed color change variation though. (15 and 18 seconds into the video)

If you are referring to that^^ I don't think it is exactly the same.. I could be wrong though.

rich23 · Mar 4, 2011

The way you are getting into it is the same as the malone shift.
gary ouellet is using it as a control were you are using it as a change.

EdwardFrostJR · Mar 4, 2011

I see what you are saying now. Well if that is the case.. and I'm understanding what you are saying how is the orbit control any different from that?

Thats a good question there is really not much of a diffrence. it very hard
to create something completly new, if you want to learn alot of great stuff
look in the older books you will be suprised what you can find.

That is very good advice! I am focused on mastering the classics, and recording the nuances I find along the way. Hopefully by studying the foundations of card magic I can become great and leave a few fresh ideas/handlings behind.

Thank you for your comments good sir.
