Well worth the money just as long as you have the perfect sized hands, as mentioned in the very detailed review. If not, tough luck, better luck next time. 🤣🤣🤣

I prefer an ungimmicked s***ch that I can perform anywhere at any time to one that relies on something that I left at home because I forgot it/didn't think I'd need it/didn't want to lose or damage it etc. I appreciate that not everyone feels the same way though. Some people prefer gimmicks, for whatever reason, and that's fine too. "Whatever tickles yer pickle", as they say. 🙂 |

You don't have to have "perfect size hands" to accomplish the switch. I have long slim "window fingers" and I can still do the switch without flashing. Practice, practice and modify this for your hand size. Its really not as difficult as some have said. If you've been in magic for any length of time you realize that you will have to practice and that everyone is different and that you will need to modify every trick/technique to fit you.

Has nothing to do with the anatomy of his hands, he just didn’t bother to learn the move. He claims that he practiced a little every day, I mean, likely it did not equate to the roughly hour one would spend on it and result in a far better looking switch than what he demonstrated. I checked out some of his other videos, I mean, I don’t understand it. He can spring cards very well. Springing cards is a far harder thing to learn than this move. He’s trembling like he has arthritis demonstrating the switch but great at springing cards. It’s just bizarre to me, clearly he spent a good deal of time learning to spring cards which is a pretty non-essential card technique but clearly didn’t really bother to learn this switch (which is FAR easier than springing cards) that he is reviewing. You can tell since the way he is holding the tables card is not how it is taught in the instructions. |

Yeah no need for "perfectly sized hands". I got relatively small hands, no issues. But Pegasus just likes to clutch at whatever straws so that he can keep on trolling.
And that review... God, its absolutely terrible. Its basically a tutorial. If you've spent weeks practising it, and it still looks like that. Im not entirely sure magic is for you. Im with Kissdadookie on this one, it seems like has hasn't really watched the video properly or understands the move. Also, it CAN be any card, I don't know why he implies that it can't. Sure in the main version it's not ANY card, but you can do it if you want, its just a bit harder and it is explained. So I must admit Im questioning his skills as a reviewer. |

Also gotta love Christian's dedication to this project, he keeps uploading videos with different ideas. The latest 2 card idea was great, and has sparked some ideas in my head.

Peg will surely let us know how mad he is when this wins trick of the year.
Also, I have tiny, tiny hands with long fingers (size 6 men's ring) and find the move easy. It really is embarrassing how bad at all of this Peggy is. |

Well I suppose if you haven’t got the perfect sized hands there’s always the index wallet as a consolation.

If your hands are such that you can’t finger palm a card folded in quarters then card magic is not for you.

I first saw Christian demo this for Ollie Mealing well before this was released. I was instantly impressed with how clean it looked and assumed a gimmick was in play to aid with the switch. I'm glad that this is pure sleight of hand and will be purchasing it when I can afford to do so (I don't own an i***x, so I'm please one is included). I guessed that an i***x was involved (how else would you do a trick like that?). However, the original advert was vague and misleading; I can understand why some people were unhappy when they didn't receive a revolutionary switching device.
Vanishing Inc is a magic company with integrity; that's why they updated the ad copy. Christian is one of the kindest and generous magicians I've come across (I subscribe to his Magic Monthly membership). I'm convinced that the misleading advertising was accidental and a byproduct of getting too excited about the trick. Even so, everyone is raving about the switch, not the i***x. This suggests that VI might have been wiser to release the switch as a download and offer the complete package as a premium product for those interested in doing the trick. Marty P.S. You might not agree with Pegasus, his opinions, or how he chooses to express them. But there's no need for the personal insults. |

You know those moves that happen in plain view but remain invisible to you even after you know what's going on? Well, I have an idea of what's going on with this but I still can't see anything.
I can see myself picking this up at some time. |

...and I still can't "see" it!
It's so good that I almost don't want to shatter the illusion and learn how it's done (note I said "almost"). 😁 |

I know that it is possible to perform Switch One with money but are there any videos of anyone doing this? The only issue that I'm having is with the particular folding and revealing of the dollar (if that makes sense). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |

I would like to comment just above the move in switch one. I bought the effect just for the move . I have Cosmos indx which works fine for me.
I was excited to learn the mechanics of the move. Unfortunately after I started practicing it I found a couple of disadvantages to it. First it requires to much finger movement behind the back door. The orientation of the card for the switch has to change almost 360 degrees from its original position up to the end. The second issue that is more critical is how the changed card ends up in the dirty hand for the clean up. I found that OSYN switch solves the second issue but it still has the same first disadvantage about having to change the orientation of the card for the switch So I went back to my drawer and pull out Elliot Bresler book Switchcraft and found the best alternative that address those two issues. The switch is call The E.B. NCP. Switch. With this switch you can even end up in a position that will allow you to clip the switched card into an edge grip and display the changed card with the tip of your dirty fingers . From edge grip after the display you can finger palm the card and clean up As far as how visual the change for other props like bills or billets well just try it and you will be amazed. As they always say in magic the best route can be the simplest. Try not to complicate things to accomplish the same outcome My 2 cents |
