Yesterday, I performed the Clip Shift as a color change for my uncle.
After doing some cool tricks, I could see he was impressed, but not really amazed. So I said:
- "Ok, the tricks you've just saw where just sleight of hand, right? Well, the thing I'm going to show you now is just pure magic."
- (silence)
- "Ok, say stop as I dribble the cards". He selected a card, I (false) shuffled the deck.
- He was like: "Yeah, that's right, shuffle those cards good! You'll never find my card back!" (laughs)
- I showed him the face card. "This isn't your card, is that correct?"
- "Yes."
- "Ok, now watch the card. No matter what I do, just keep watching the card"
And I just did the basic Clip Shift coulor change.
His card appeared.
His mouth fell wide open and he kept staring at me for half a minute.
I loved that moment.
It's really nice to see that my hard work payed off. The Clip Shift has many great aplications, for example as a control (I even came up with my own trick involving the CS
), but when just perfoming such a simple tick as mentioned above, where you just use it as a basic color change, and you really build up the presentation, it is just lethal
