Errr...I was following the thread on this earlier this morning and am pretty excited by the effect. Now the thread's gone?
Hopefully, whatever sent it into the back of beyond doesn't occur again, whatever it might have been. Only started this so I can keep tabs on the effect. Hope that's okay? |

Are you sure there was ever an effect called The Switch ? Or was that thread faked ?
I'm sure the grassy knoll brigade will re-emerge. Meanwhile, you're right - it looks exciting, lets wait and see huh ? |

Yes, I saw that too Joe. I was coming on to congratulate Shin on what looks to be a top job, only to find it all gone.
Thansk for the info on the release date Mark. |

So I took the plunge and pre ordered this at Hocus Pocus, my new go to magic shop. Because of the way Paul Gross handled the whole melt debacle giving me a complete refund I was able to use towards another item at his shop. A real stand up guy. That aside, when I recieve the switch, I will review it and let all on the fence know what the real truth of the matter is. Hopefully I'm not going to need to own a hobby shop or welding torch to make this gimmick as that is what I assume will have to be done. But if an effect is complete and ready to use out of the box from MR. Lim that would be a breath of fresh air. A final step in the right direction for him. Stay tuned folks.

One real question will be the quality of the DVD and teaching. Hopefully Shin has made some improvements in this area as well with accurate and complete explanations.

J I have to say you are a brave man after what you went through with Melt. Shades of 52 was decent enough but the ridiculous amount of DIY should have been disclosed somewhat? What do you think? He didn't even include one of the gaffs instructions?
But it's not about that I don't want to highjack this thread but we are talking about the creator and if we should buy this. As much as I want to get this, I have to say if he goes down the wrong path on this, I can't waste my time and money anymore. I also don't think removing posts is good but lets face it when its 10 pages of stuff you have to weed through I'm glad it's gone maybe it will smarten up those who are ruining it for others making it about themselves. Lets stay focused and not waste peoples time reading garbage, we need valuable content here or whats the point. I know some guys have a lot of time on their hands but really.

So it seems the last thread had enough of ppl bashing Shin, lets keep this thread to The Switch and not Shin Lim
Of course, the switch looks really REALLY clean. and if that BOOM colour change is really as good as it looks in real life/ real time then it probably will be one of the most beautiful switch I have seen. This literally opens a ton of card to impossible location IF it is practical. Personally for this effect, I am not concern about craft work or practice time, as long as the reviews/comments here says its not angle sensitive and does not take hours to reset then I'm in! |

Here is a video of Shin Lim performing it live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCDZbQvzR_E
It seems legit. |
jconstantine Special user Long Island New York 566 Posts |
The two above performances do look beautiful and as far as I can see not faked at all. So now that that's put to rest, the next big question are.
1 Can we do everything we see in the trailer including changing one card into another and have it look that magical. 2 will this come with the gimmick already made (which it should) 3 If it doesn't how hard will it be (a la 52 shades of red) to make on your own. All questions will be answered when I receive the product.

Since we are also speculating if we should purchase the effect before it's released, I think trust plays a huge role in the decision at this point. Yes, the effect has to live up to the trailer and that is what we are trying to determine. Don't we try to give people the benefit of the doubt but get burned a lot? that's why we have this forum to talk it out first. Lets ask this question, "how many people will pre ordered it"? I'm not going to pre order and will check back here once it's out. It's looks amazing, and he is a great magician, but that is not really of value to me.
