Hey Alex I just wanted to say thank you because I have this annoying gap between my fingers and I can't do so many of the changes but since this video I can FINALLY do a change Love that jacket by the way
The Cardini change is also a move you really need to use a mirror for. It's one of those moves that look good from the performer's angle but looks bad from the spectator's angle unless if you've practised in front of a mirror
That trick at the end is one of my favorites I've ever seen. It's so simple, yet I think it has such a powerful effect on the spectator. I know how you're doing it and still kind of amazed.
You didn't mention the fact that we can quickly bump the bottom card under the fan into position with the ring finger as in the beginning of the video... I think. lol. Love these vids sooo much bro. Thank you. Hmu for my progress.
Hey Alex...great channel...I love that you show better ways to do the basics as well. I use to know Garrett Thomas when he was performing in places around western NY and was absolutely fascinated with magic since then....I must say that in the short time of getting to know about you that you’ve become a top 5 magician on my list of all time...love it!!! Keep it going!!!
I have an awesome trick with the cardini change. You visibly flick a signature off of one person's card with is held in your hand and his signature lands on the card that has been sitting on the table the whole time, and which has been signed on the face by another spectator. Now oddly, that one card has both of their signatures on it. This requires no special setup and you end clean. You do it like this: It does require that move where you swap out a palmed card for a tabled card, which can be tricky. Also for best effect so the signed card's face will be visible in your hand all the way to the table, you should use that Marlo move that is sort ofo the reverse of that Monte move, for tabling the card. (though technically any double lift switch will do the trick!) Roughly, that move will be described, and the trick goes like this: Flip a double on top of the deck, showing a face. Have the face signed, carry the double all the way down to the table while showing the face. At the last moment you'll pull that card in to palm it and switch it out with the "dummy" card. taking the double off the deck, you hold it kind of like the snap change except with all four fingers covering the edge of the double, not just two. As you place the double face down, your thumb and fingers do a sort of motion that's like rubbing your thumb against the inside of your fingers, all the way up from your pinkie to your index finger - when holding a double, this splits them apart. That is the mechanism you use to pull the visible face card of the double back into a palm in the very last moments before that "dummy" card is placed face down. Now bring the palmed signed-face back and deposit it on the top of the pack. Have a second card selected by a different spectator and use that move from Chris Ramsay's card-to-mouth to do it. basically you'll wind up flipping a card face up to show them the card they stopped on, and then as you flip it back face down again, you'll drop the card with the signed face on top of it secretly. Watch Chris' video for it, it's easy. Now have spectator two sign the back of "his card" which is in fact the card with the other spectator's signature on the face, while you hold that half of the deck for him. Now the card on the back of the pack shows his signature and on its face it has the other person's signature. Using the cardini change, _flick the signature off of the card_ toward the tabled card. _Do not tell your spectators what you are doing! You need this moment of misdirection while they stare at the amazingly now-ink-free back of the card. Instead of pulling the signed card all the way under the deck, quickly palm it with your right hand and move your hand holding that palmed card to the table. You need to get to that card before anyone realizes what you're trying to do because you don't want them to look at the back of the card that is resting on the table, because it has no ink on it. So now use that one-handed gambling/monte move to swap the card on the table with the one palmed in your hand. And Voila, you have just flicked a signature off of one person's card on the deck and it landed on the tabled card signed by the other spectator. Go get em :+1:
Oh my birthday is on the same day as yours. Now i just reminded myself of that. Last year i actually realized that. Doesnt even look like I follow you for more than a year!
Getting back into magic after many years off. These tutorials are great! Also, NOC's are my new favorite cards. Beautiful feel, beautiful, simple look. Way to go, Alex.
Nice tutorial, other one I was watching emphasized the left hand and basically minimized the right hand. The cleanup help with the right hand made all the difference for me.
Hey Alex, Could we see some more performance? Tutorial after tutorial is great, but I would love to see some performances, and maybe some tips on audience management.
I have small hands so holding the deck with my thumb closer to the middle on the pinky steal works well for me for counter pressure from the index finger and pivot point for maximum control. Everyone's hands are different got to play with it
Another thing you can do is control the selected card to the top, do the cardini change (dirtying bottom of the deck) and cut the deck. You can even ask the spectator to shuffle. When you spread the deck, the selected card will be the only one facing up. (just did this with no intention while practicing)
My friend and I discovered a way to hide the card if you want to show the bottom of the deck. It's hard to explain but I'll try. When you are doing the move, the crisps of your hand holding the dek have to draw the bottom card and with your fingertips, you will slide the top card (the one that is vanishing) just between the bottom card and the deck. This way, the card is second from bottom and you can show the deck facing up by pushing the first cards with your thumb. I hope I'm understandable because I'm french so it very hard to explain it... good luck!
I love the way you do your tutorials. You always break it down to few steps, then talk about every one of them. Plus some psychological tips. This is great. Keep the good content coming. 🤗🤗 Btw. Happy birthday Alex!!
I'm not even fully grown yet and I've got pretty small hands. I love the Cardini change but I've never been able to do it well because of my hands. Any tips?
No way we have the same bday. I bought some super nocs a couple weeks ago. By far my favorite deck of cards I’ve ever owned/used I love the attention to detail in color adjustments so much thanks for making quality stuff!
Alex is underrated...he is a great card magician.
😻🤝😎🐐🔥

Or video yourself!
I used my wife's makeup area because it has good lighting 🤣
You aint lying man my bottom hand was moving all over the place
@@NotTheHeroStudios makeup addiction for many, unfortunately.
hey man, I do not have problem with angels but with the sound. How can I solve that?
That trick at the end is one of my favorites I've ever seen. It's so simple, yet I think it has such a powerful effect on the spectator. I know how you're doing it and still kind of amazed.
I’ve slowed this down to .25 speed and I still wouldn’t know what you were doing if I hadn’t watched the tutorial part. You’re amazing dude.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic tutorial on the Cardini Color Change!
The introduction is legit the best and coolest I've ever seen in a magic video :D
Best quality instruction and production on TH-cam
Huge fan here. You're moves are really clean and you're great teacher. Wish you could share more of your performances!
🐐🔥
Probably the best cardini tutorial
Can you recommend a card deck for a beginner with rather small hands and in general give an advice: plastic or no plastic?
Pulchritudenously! You did this color change!
It's one of my favourite!
Amazing! Everything you do is superb, man. I'm a great fan of you and your tutorials. Thanks a lot!

I don't know if he mentioned this but the flick helps to mask the noise from the pinky move also

I saw this video right after your top shot tutorial so it was great timing
One of the best Channel ...thanks buddy
Getting back into magic after many years off. These tutorials are great! Also, NOC's are my new favorite cards. Beautiful feel, beautiful, simple look. Way to go, Alex.
Nice tutorial, other one I was watching emphasized the left hand and basically minimized the right hand. The cleanup help with the right hand made all the difference for me.
Wow that takes dexterity, well done
Hey Alex can you teach the Rel Change. I've tried to do it but I'm not that good at it so some extra details on how to do it would be nice.
Fantastic trick i've been working on it for months
Hey Alex, Could we see some more performance? Tutorial after tutorial is great, but I would love to see some performances, and maybe some tips on audience management.
Yes!
I'm perfectly allright ! And this since a cople times, but he stays one of the best 🙃

Andrei respect for you

ANDREI! I'M A BIG FAN! OMG!
Hi....
None bro
Happy birthday Alex 😊
OP TRICK
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
❤❤❤
👍👍👍
I have small hands so holding the deck with my thumb closer to the middle on the pinky steal works well for me for counter pressure from the index finger and pivot point for maximum control. Everyone's hands are different got to play with it
Once you find the right sweet spot for the depth of the deck in your hand I think it will work
Thank you for this tutorial Alex, happy belated birthday hope it was a gooder !
Excellent change to correct a magician error !!
Another thing you can do is control the selected card to the top, do the cardini change (dirtying bottom of the deck) and cut the deck.
You can even ask the spectator to shuffle.
When you spread the deck, the selected card will be the only one facing up.
(just did this with no intention while practicing)
Cool idea!
Thanks Alex for this tutorial I have problems with the clean up now I'll be better😁
Really Alex...
That's awesome...
That will help me a lot in improving my Cardini...
Thank you 😄
Can you teach the duck change? I've seen some tutorials but no tips. I like how you teach.
Alex you are amazing .
Happy birthday alex

@@valovanonym then it will be even more harder to understand from translator
@@lakshaynegi82Why?

Alex always awesome
What size deck should I be using?
I’m struggling with the Bicycle poker size cards, wondering if they’re too big for my hands.
Love your double lift!
Happy birthday bro. Stay safe takr care. Happy birthday many more. To come...
I stumbled upon a shift I can do with the changed card which puts it on top of the deck. I’m sure it’s been done, but, you know, has it been done?
That double lift is lit
I'm not even fully grown yet and I've got pretty small hands. I love the Cardini change but I've never been able to do it well because of my hands. Any tips?
Good teacher 👍
What was that intro music? It's so nice!!!
Agreed!
Where do you get your plain yellow and orange deck?
No way we have the same bday. I bought some super nocs a couple weeks ago. By far my favorite deck of cards I’ve ever owned/used I love the attention to detail in color adjustments so much thanks for making quality stuff!
Yo Alex great content m8, I was wondering, are you from Romania?
I am left-handed, to practice cartomagic advice to hold the deck with the right hand or the left?
Happy early birthday Alex. My birthday is the day before on the 9th
Doooouuuu man,great video. My birthday is the 10 october
Any tips on how to make the change silent?
I love the way you teach! I appreciate you breaking down the move into steps/parts. Thank you!!
One of my favorite changes is the Erdnase but I've been trying this one a lot lately but not getting the clean up right.
Thanks You So Much BRO ❤️
Happy Birthday man
Didn’t look at the “doggy” ... Trust issues when magicians try tell me to look places 🤨
