i know my choices above are quite limited because i dont' know that many changes

but please reply with ur own at the bottom ! ^_^

betram change!(still practising)

I like all the colour changes but usually, I will prefer to use shapeshifter or erdnase colour change.

If I am performing to one spectator only then sometimes I will use snap change. Love that effect.

Most of the other changes are quite angle sensitive. Will use them more for video.

EGO CHANGE!!!! ^_^

Ego changes is one of the best!!!!!!!!! :P

Go Ego, Go Ego.

Aaron

YES!! GO EGO CHANGE!!! Can't believe its still at 14% :huh:

i believe why Erdnase colour change is popular it is because it has been made popular by ellusionist. and frankly speaking it is quite easy to do.

Adrian

I think Erdnase color change is popular not because of Ellusionist, but the color change itself is very visual, and easy to perform, unlike other color change, this is definitely not angle sensitive. Thats well it is popular.

Sometimes, i feel that some basic moves is much safer and better than those crazy sleights.

Sorry my mistake. haha. I learned it from ellusionist as one of their free trick i think. one of the first new tricks i learned. So i would naturally think it is made popular from there. but i agree with you that it is not take angel sensitive and easy to do. yeah!

Adrian

I like Erdnase, it is simple and gets a good reaction if done correctly, i.e smoothly with a short pause before you reveal the "changed" card for effect. Shapeshifter is good too but I find it problematic when using non-bordered cards like Bees and Sun Cruises.

I actually voted for Shapeshifter but it is not the original version I had in mind. Rather it is the "one-handed" version where you simply swing the card and it changes.

Think you can find it on one of Penguin's tricks, Joker's Wild.

Using the pass as a colour change is my favourite, because its visual and you get to show the spectator which card changes with which other one in the middle of the deck

The shape shifter! It is a really very visual and in-your-face change. I just saw a variation of it called the 'snap change', using just one hand to flick it over. Can find it in the Officaly Poker Chip and Card Handling DVD

Definitely the Erdnase, though I do a couple of variants when the situation permits.

Also a colour change of mine I call the "Elevated Erdnase".

Winter Change.
I saw that no one mentioned it so I thought I'd say it.

Its one worth learning and it can change the top card to a card in the middle of the deck.

Ego is also a worthwhile change. If you get it down to when its as easy as a Erdnase

Practice is worth alot. Versitility is even better. :)

Erdnase colour change would be most magician favourite. I don't feel shape shifter have a very big impact. Upon close lookout, some smart people will know how it is done. I feel Erdnase change easier to master

Actually i think that the one handed shape shifter had alot of impact cos it is very visual. You can see the card slowly "melt" and change into another card.

For those who like the card to change at a fast speed, you can try the normal shapeshifter or snap change.

The ego change can also be modified to create a snap change like effect. Instead of waving your hands over the card, snap the card.

Shapeshifter is the best. Simple yet effective. When i first got to know how is it done,i almost fainted cause it is so easy yet deceptive. Doesn't need to have a complicated colour change to show to layman,to them a card have change to another, that all. B)

I'm will and always be in favor of the Hurricane Change by Harry Levine.

See it performed on the intro of Shade The Movie by R. Paul Wilson and here:

just to clarify - is the one-handed shapeshifter change actually ed marlo's "in lieu of vernon's through-the-fist move"? cos if it is, that is also one of the changes i like. easy to do, but hard to make it look good and deceptive. amazingly shocking to laypeople even though the method may seem a bit lame.

Isn't the 'one-handed shapeshifter' Ed Marlo's twirl change? Cos' if it is it's my favorite move of all time. One handed. which means you can do stuff in the left hand.....

:ph43r: :ph43r: :ph43r:

Usually the other hand does not do anything as when doing that colour change, you want all of the attention to the change as it is sort of a climax

Just my 2 cents

Wah... I really don't know what the "one-handed shapeshifter" name is. I just call it this because either Greg Wilson or Richard Sanders mentioned it as such.

Not sure if it's the twirl change or not. I thought it was came up by Sankey.

Somehow I think the Erdnase color change is more visual like a more magical feel to it and I prefer to use it compared to the shapeshifter which somehow my friends perceive it as more of a sleight of hand than magical (I think its my lousy showmanship).

Haven't learnt the ego change yet. Still a noob :D

Gimmicked change allowed as an option as well? LOL. Moving points?

Agreed!! Moving points is the most visual colour change I've seen so far!

I would say WOW wins handsdown.

^ +1


i saw the WOW! demo video today


and all i can say is.... WOW !


that gimmick looks crazyy, but it sure costs alot ;)
