I remember my dad showed me how this works when I was 7. For weeks he practiced... He was always away. We hardly ever saw him. Then one day, BAM. He snap changed families, and now I see him every other weekend and on alternating holidays
Have you ever considered doing a mini series where you take an average person with little to no skills and train them over like a 60 or 90 day period and document their progression? Would make a cool video series. Yes im interested and available to learn :)
Nice to see an in-depth tutorial on the snap change done right! Also really appreciate that you give credit and some back story in you videos! Thanks for the content Chris!
first of all: thanks chris! your explainations are always the best second: for those who practicing - the light touch of index and middle finger is the most important thing to stress here. if you grab too hard it won't work no matter how hard you try
Chris, your tutorials have very important tips even for simple moves. This difference makes yours tutorials the best on TH-cam! Keep the good work, thnks!
@@fizzycola1232 Watch slowly how Chris performs it. I had to take a few breaks during the day when I was practicing it, but do something different every time you mess up and eventually you'll find the right motion and hand placement.
Chris your skills boggle me, man thank you so much for your generous sharing! I learned this move from a J.C. Wagner video about 25 years ago. An original and well-misdirected routine I use is (following the horizontal 'flick' style snap change) - with my right hand, immediately spin the [second/selected] card up about 2 feet and catch it - at my eye level just to my right. Simultaneously the deck (in my left hand, with the [first/wrong] card now replaced on top) is turned bottom to the spectator as left hand ends pointing to my temple, my mouth agape and eyes wide and a-buggin'. Freeze. The patter goes, "This'll drop your jaw....this'll bug your eyes... this'll knock your socks off...you wearin' socks?.." Look down towards their socks, chuckle, look up, then flick/snap… astonishment! Credit Doc Eason for the 'knock your socks off' line.
Hey Chris Before watching this video I knew how to do the snap change but I watched it anyway because I knew you would go more in depth with different handling and presentation of it so thank you
You know, if I'm ever gonna turn out to be a decent magician, more than fifty percent credit goes to you. The percentage may seem insignificant, but for me it's really important and I'm just grateful.... I'm sounding stupid and I guess it's normal for teens to sound stupid. Thank you so MUCH. It takes a big heart to reveal your tricks just like that. A big thank you from an Indian girl trying to master sleight of hand!
I started cardestry due to your videos..and you said it alot here but any great magician will stress the clean up is just as if not more important that the trick. Much love from Alabama
Chis Ramsay i just want to let you know you have taught me every card trick i know. I just recently started watching your videos. You're an awesome teacher and illusionist Keep up the awesome work man!
Thanks Chris, I do the snap change occasionally but never knew how to clean up. Your tutorials are the best!!! Just wondering when your cards are coming out, I am excited to see them. Keep up the great work your the best.
Its late and you will probably never see this but I must say, Best snap tutorial ever. Been trying and trying but the results were terrible. after watching this I did the one finger hold and for some reason it all came together. no one else went over any trouble shooting either. Thanks a ton
Dude! I can't believe you are into wing chun! That is my favorite kung fu. I have really enjoyed your videos the past couple of weeks. Keep up the good work. You have really helped me step up my cardistry and card magic. Thanks for everything.
Was that really Jesse Eisenberg's fault? Or the camera crew's? Hmm... When I perform the snap change (rarely) for someone, I could care less about if anyone else sees how it's done. I use comedy a lot, though, and say something like "That trick is only impressive to you" or "This was done using angles". I guess it's all how it's handled.
YcleptJohn David Letterman was known to be a gentle douche to guests that show off skills, though (as in he wouldn't insult a singer for singing, or a magician for magic, as it's their actual livelihood, but he'd knock an actor that sang/did tricks in a movie, if they did it irl later). In a jokey way, I mean; being the grouchy grandpa kinda became his 'thing' in his last decade or so. Did the audience see the card too, or are we just going off his own, highly questionable word?
I usually really like your tutorials but for this one since there are so many out there i wish you would have done something different. What i really loved was you gave a couple new perspectives on it and a way to clean it up that i haven't seen before. Keep up the Awesome videos!
I was sitting watching this video fiddling with my fingers and the cards then suddenly I a headed a snap sound so I looked up and realized I had done it perfectly, I haven’t done it again since!
Your the best man! Thank you. My nieces and nephews will love it! I've been getting back into card and coin magic a bit after almost 35 yrs of none, primarily to entertain them. But it also entertains me. :D I'd been doing some cigarette magic too, but I'm quitting them things. Maybe "wand" tricks using pen or pencil or straw or whatnot. Vape pen tricks LOL (not nicotine ;) )
Hey man, I just started with the "Magician" of the cards. Idk why I just want to be a real Jester at it I hope I get along witb you on that! Thx for all the tutorials! Cheers bud!
The best thing about Ramsey's channel is how technically useful his teachings are, as well as how diverse and original his content is, along with high quality editing. Definitely an example of a lot of good things coming together.
hi Chris... I don't have cards but I did tht wit my debit cards...jus one time it worked... and the way your teaching is easy and I'm pretty sure that I do it without flashing...!!! meaning with only one person...!!!
Awesome intro man. I just got into your channel and videos, you’ve helped my jobs quarantine stay home order go a lot better. That intro had me rolling. You did it hilariously.
Another masking technique ive seen is blowing when you do the move instead of flicking it blow air really quick and it adds to the effect like waving your hand or flicking it. Also another cleanup ive always used was to reverse the motion back into one card after the trick bring your hands down and just reverse the motion back into a double. If done at the right time while lowering your hands it masks the angle
Just getting into cardistry to keep my mind busy while battling 4 stage non alcoholic liver cancer.. Still really new to everything ..but really excited to get more into it....was wondering what deck you were using here?...love the channel...thanks for all the awesome content and inspiring me thru a really difficult time in my life...
You know I’ve watched this video before but over the past day I’ve been watching back quite a few of your videos and don’t know why I didn’t realize it before but I f**king loved that intro lol. That was a dope intro. On point bro. You’re awesome.
I've always been interested in magic never had the encouragement to do so though until recently because of you and I have gotten really good at it thank you so much I found my calling . Keep inspiring
Awesome intro Chris. Thank you for the good pointers on this change. I'm currently practicing your Slipshift color change and I'm definitely enjoying the challenge 😎✌
Thanks for the tutorial. I started learning this earlier today. On and off I've spent about an or so but still seems miles away. I can do it quite well sometimes but I haven't owned it yet. I am an old fart so it take me longer to learn via muscle memory. Anyway I'll get there. Lastly I watch lots of your videos, and your mates. Good stuff, you all seem like your living the dream. Good on ya.
Love all the videos you put out Chris, learned so much! Any chance you could do a detailed video on the Pinky Count, Double Lift and tips on how to execute them quickly/tips for practising them? Cant wait for the next video!
I can't believe how quick and clean that snap at 2:00 was! I slowed down to .25x speed and went frame by frame. There's only ONE frame where you can see both cards at once and it even looks like a fever dream. frame 1: 4 card. Frame 2: Queen, with a blur of the 4. Frame 3: Just Queen.
Omgosh the intro 😂 btw wing Chun, awesooommeeee. Absolutely amazing tutorial, I have been looking for a clean up for this trick for awhile, very well done, it looks much better then the typical snap change, and THANK YOU for clarifying that this trick is only for one on one
WE HIT 300k!!! Thank you! #RamFamisBestFam (throw up a like on the video for that intro 😂)
Chris Ramsay hey Chris would you mind teaching more advanced magic too and congrats on 300k

Chris, your tutorials have very important tips even for simple moves. This difference makes yours tutorials the best on TH-cam!
Keep the good work, thnks!
I learned this trick today and it’s easily the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, in my 2 days of magic...
You learnt this is two days?
Patrick yeah I learned it in about a day, but I perfected it in like a week
@@jakelarosa5361 I learned the slipshift within a day. But perfecting it? Yet to do so. xD
How do u find it easy I can’t get the card at the back how do u do it
@@fizzycola1232 Watch slowly how Chris performs it. I had to take a few breaks during the day when I was practicing it, but do something different every time you mess up and eventually you'll find the right motion and hand placement.

I figure this is the only trick that I’ve mastered. Damn I feel like a badass magician even though I’m not
Still better than me. ;)
Knoppix nah there must be a trick that’s made for you to learn. And all you need to do is put in some time
Well done. How long dud it take to master? I don't think I've got the patience. Which sucks. Coz I hate feeling defeated.
Bro I suck soooo bad at magic, but Chris makes me feel like I can be good one day
Tried doing this all day until i realised my hands are simply too small...
Hey Chris
Before watching this video I knew how to do the snap change but I watched it anyway because I knew you would go more in depth with different handling and presentation of it so thank you
Chris Ramsay: 1
Physics: 0
Jesse Eisenberg -1
300K! Congratz Chris!
ahhh the first move I ever learned. thanks for uploading Chris! I love the one finger handling! have always done two myself
TKards Magic its my First move as well :D
How do you pull the finger back though
Thank you for making this video because all the other videos doesn't show how to get rid of the card behind the switched card. This helped out a lot💯
laughed so hard when he said "disappearing finger trick"
Same
Small world :) I’ve done Wing Chun for years and now I’ve come to you for cardist Ty and card tricks. Thank you brother
You know, if I'm ever gonna turn out to be a decent magician, more than fifty percent credit goes to you. The percentage may seem insignificant, but for me it's really important and I'm just grateful....

Thank you so MUCH. It takes a big heart to reveal your tricks just like that.
A big thank you from an Indian girl trying to master sleight of hand!
Your tutorials are AWESOME! You take your time to cover everything, and is slow enough to understand. THANK YOU!
That intro was the greatest most hilarious thing I've seen, so let me just hit that subscribe button over there for ya buddy.
I started cardestry due to your videos..and you said it alot here but any great magician will stress the clean up is just as if not more important that the trick. Much love from Alabama

I always wanted to know how people do this...
Sneaky sneaky sir
Good shit.
@@m5craft889 bwahahaha
Excuse me?? You have a problem with my use or the word “shit”???🤷🏻♂️😆
Chris, I can honestly say from the heart, your DA MAN!!
I like how when I subscribed Unbox Therapy came up and they have nothing related except the beard
noswad LoL true
AND I THOUGHT THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON
I really like that little touch you added so it looks like only one finger was used awesome thank you
Can I say, thats a hot one!!
TH-camr ?
Max Diamond yes now you can
I'm a magician as well so I'm asking you please if you could watch my video like subscribe share and comment below please
The version with only one finger in the beginning make so much more sense. Thanks for pointing that out!
So wierd when you know the trick you see the movement everytime
Dude! I can't believe you are into wing chun! That is my favorite kung fu. I have really enjoyed your videos the past couple of weeks. Keep up the good work. You have really helped me step up my cardistry and card magic. Thanks for everything.

Braden Carlisle, woah. Cool idea, I'll use that. Thanks man.
Braden Carlisle No he definitely failed that trick. He isn't a magician, if he was he'd know better 😂
Or it could be the fact the host of the show said no to both cards?
YcleptJohn David Letterman was known to be a gentle douche to guests that show off skills, though (as in he wouldn't insult a singer for singing, or a magician for magic, as it's their actual livelihood, but he'd knock an actor that sang/did tricks in a movie, if they did it irl later).

This is impossible to me.
I usually really like your tutorials but for this one since there are so many out there i wish you would have done something different. What i really loved was you gave a couple new perspectives on it and a way to clean it up that i haven't seen before. Keep up the Awesome videos!
Do a vid on awkward spectators ! With your style that would be cool 😎
i learnt 3 quarters of my repertoire of magic tricks from u thanks and you have brought me back to the magic world
Could you do a tutorial on coin magic or higher level mentalism for next week?
Been here since 300k and now your at 3 MILLION!
Nolan Ringenberg lol thanks
I was sitting watching this video fiddling with my fingers and the cards then suddenly I a headed a snap sound so I looked up and realized I had done it perfectly, I haven’t done it again since!

I absolutely love colour changes. They're my favourite card trick. They look and feel the most magical

Dark Logic me

Jason Owolabi y?
Pretty cool. Like you said 1 on 1 w the right atmosphere this can definately get someone a little shock :) thank you !
I love all the comments "I just started trying this and I cant!!!"
Its called practice. Not everything is handed to you.
Nathan Cate I e been doing this for to long tho
its always fun to watch and try it yourself. Keep going with this intros or the short clips you once did
well i'm soon...gimme a lambo
Nice. I like the single finger start. It has enabled me to really make the presentation smoother.
Double thumbs up for the Kung Fu intro.
I tried this and no joke I sprained my middle finger
I didn’t know that was possible
Congrats fo 300k Cris! For next week, can you have a more practical coulor change?
I was taught Wing Chun by Bruce Lee's masters sons student Sifu shaun rawcliffe would love to spar some day

I clicked like just for the intro, that was AMAZING. I love Chinese martial arts movies and their dubs and just ugh
Do tutorial on the bottom deal. I've seen others but for some reason I learn things easier when you explain it. I guess you are just a good teacher 😎

awesome tutorial. Learned this in about 10 minutes. A lot more simple than I thought; now I just need to work on speed. Cheers!

Yay! Wing-chun! Practiced it for a decade! It's awesome:)
I learned a completely different *snap change*. Came to youtube to look it up, found this, pretty cool, always dope finding extra goodies XD
This is my favorite opening you've had on your video. Thanks for that!
Great subtle motion and continuity. Nice nice!
Love all the videos you put out Chris, learned so much! Any chance you could do a detailed video on the Pinky Count, Double Lift and tips on how to execute them quickly/tips for practising them? Cant wait for the next video!
Super helpful! This is the best snap change tutorial I've seen.
Intro on this was dope. Suddenly I want to learn card magic.
