Can anyone give a review on the Nu Way Color Changing Records (Color Changing Discs), by Ton Onosaka. Can this be performed 2-feet from the audience? Thanks

Truthfully, the VERY best color changing CDs came from Tom Ladshaw. He took a standard set of CDs used for the routine that utilizes a sleeve for the color change...got rid of the sleeve and left this routine SO clean that it'll work 2 feet from the audience and uses nothing but the CDs. I'm sure he has some sets left. When I say it's clean, commercial and simple...I mean it. I've used it thousands of times.

Geez, how is old Tom Ladshaw? Do you see him?

Watch David Letterman, for every group he has on the show, they display an LP Record. There is still a market and many claim that it has better sound quality.

A lot of people criticize this routine because records are out of date and we now use CD's. Actually CD's are now out of date, we need an MP3 color change, wonder how that would work. Actually I like this routine, don't own it but have considered getting it. I have put some thought into the beginnings of a routine for it. I think the fact that it is out of date opens up the possibilities for a routine instead of eliminating it. Introduce it as "my kid found this and was wondering what kind of CD this was with the big hole in the middle". Lots of opportunity for story, humor etc... while explaining something from the past and its changes to what we find today. The fact that it is out of date can be made to work for you. Actually, common everyday items can seem boring. Unusual or uncommon items draw peoples attention, as long as the items don't just look like a magic prop. The appeal of every day items is that they don't look gimmicked. But an unusual or uncommon item that doesn't look gimmicked or look like just a magic prop can be a wonderful option if presented properly. Just my opinion.

I have been using the color changing Mickey CDs. I like the records for slightly older audiences, but the younger kids seem to prefer something with Mickey Mouse on them. I like the method better for these than the nu way color change, It just seems more deceptive to the audience, especially when you open the sleeve at the end. Works well for a smaller crowd.
