Clip Shift - Color Change Tutorial

[RemAtmos]

The mirroring super clever. Making this accessible to righties and lefties

[antonporteus]

This is sooo difficult to master, yet you make it look so easy!

I have mastered this technique. It took 2 months of constant practice. My hand was cramped and hurt a lot but now it's second nature. I purchased the tutorial from the original creator and used that in addition to this video to learn it. If you want to learn it, you can. If you do, you have an amazing sleight that can be used for any number of effects.

this glitch was patched in the 2019 update

[asiii]

I love when i finally learn how a trick is done only to realize there's no way i can do it anyway lol

[WadeWilson-]

Easier said than done.
I need way more practice to make it look clean.
You're amazing

[newdimensionmagiccardtrick]

I kid you not this looks rediculously clean!

This move is so crazy! I think you need to practice this in 3 steps, and possibly in reverse. I'd first get the card to where you need it when you go to square it up, then work back from there so your finger placement is right. Everyone's ability is different and you have to change what he's doing based on how it works for your hand.

Your hands are machines. You would be breaking the code if anyone could actually do your moves! Crazy hand muscles, respect.

I have been practicing the clipshift for about 2 weeks now and almost got it silent. Not quite but almost. I find I can cover the sound with talking because it is rather quiet. So a bit of banter and the card is to the top. Love this move :D

Disclaimer: I'll describe how I do the clip shift, without a frame of reference; I created the handling from scratch a couple of years ago, so I have no idea how Nelson teaches it.

1. Grab the deck with the dominant hand (not the one you usually grip the cards when handling them), with the following finger positioning:
- Thumb diagonally at the bottom of the pack, near the center and with the first phalanx contacting the cards.
- Index finger resting at the side of the deck, with the first phalanx at the edge of the cards, curling to the back side.
- Pinky, Ring and Middle fingers on top of the pack, all first phalanxes resting at the edge of the cards, curling to the back side.
2. Slide the card on the back of the pack with your Pinky and Ring fingers, using the Middle finger as a pivot point, towards your dominant side, until it pivots around the far edge of the deck.
3. VERY IMPORTANT: To avoid any sounds, as soon as the card clears the edge and begins to turn towards the side of the deck, reposition the Pinky finger to the side of the card, and clip it between the Pinky and Ring fingers. The card is now securely held between the two fingers, at an angle away from the rest of the deck.
4. Move the Index finger from the side of the deck, curling it to rest on the face of the card at the top.
5. Apply pressure at the following points:
- Index finger pushes the face of the deck forward, creating a slight bend.
- Thumb pushes the bottom of the deck upwards.
- Pinky finger pushes towards the deck, sliding the card in place, as it clears the entire packet that is in motion with the movement of the Index and Thumb fingers.
6. The card should now slide underneath the Index finger, regardless of how small your hands are.
7. Go wild with whichever motion you want to cover the squaring action. The hard part is over.

looks easy but i cant even move the card

[jasonalaxander]

[thomasthomas]

Crazy ! Even knowing the trick, it is done so perfectly, so fast, that I dont believe my eyes ☺

[s-Trance_]
