- Yo what's up guys, welcome back!
(deck slaps)
Ah, that was loud, today we're
er er er, today we're bringing back a classic,
something we haven't done in a while,
sleight of hand in slow motion.
Basically, I'm going to be criticizing myself
on some sleight of hand
and bringing these down to 120 frames a second
to see if we can spot the moves
to see if they go unnoticed.
I believe, you know,
kind of a big deal
when it comes to sleight of hand, let's be real.
I mean, I don't think, I think this is gonna be flawless.
I don't think there's one flash in the entire thing,
and just to prove that to you,
that's what we're gonna look at.
So what you saw in the intro
is what we're gonna be dissecting right now.
So strap yourselves in, all right?
Get ready to type down all those rude comments,
and like this video.
Now let's get right into it.
All right, here we go.
The first move, this is actually a really nice move
as you can have a look-see here, pretty invisible.
This move is actually taught by Shin Lim.
I leaned this about six or seven years ago.
I believe it was on Shenanigans, I'm not sure.
Don't quote me on that,
but it's a very cool move,
and it happens very fast so I thought for sure
this is gonna fool the camera.
Let's have a look.
Here we are,
nice and easy, turning the card around, okay.
Ouah, come on!
Let's see that again here.
Look at this, the second, ouah,
there's not one frame there!
Can we go frame by frame?
(mouse clicking)
Come on.
Oh, okay, never mind,
we're not gonna go frame by frame any more.
Next, okay, so this is a change
like the drop change I like to call it.
I think I taught it on this channel.
It's based off a card reveal where you put a card
like the selection ends up appearing
so you can't see it here
but then (card slaps) you go.
So the selection is here and then it appears
on the top of the deck.
It's a gravity thing.
I'm sure this one's gonna flop,
but let's have a look just to make sure.
Here we go, dropping.
Yeah, that's a bad idea,
ooah, kind of cool to see the physics though,
happens so quickly as you saw
by like the intro, you can't really tell.
Your eye can't follow it,
but it's very cool that you get to see
how it works in slow motion
with the card flipping around.
Next we got, this is a little change that I came up with.
This is, what do I call this change?
I forget what I call this change.
Klepto was the steal,
the Marvel change I think is what I called it.
I think I called it the Marvel change,
and it's really cool.
It looks kind of like the clip shift at first
where the card changes,
but then after that you get an extra little changey changey.
So here we go, okay you know exactly how that works.
Actually you don't.
You see the card move,
but you don't know what's happening behind.
The ace is also a little bit, which kind of gives it away.
Let's see, this is the part I wanted to see.
It's a bit of a flash, not really though.
I love this little, look at that!
Aah, that's pretty good, I mean not bad guys,
120 frames right, cut me some slack, Jesus.
Next, ooh, another change I came up with,
this is the slipshift.
You gotta be careful when you say that word
not to slip up, you might be saying some other things.
This is basically a change that involves
like four more cards, and you can change the card
continuously into another,
released this on Dan and Dave years ago.
Hi, my name is Chris Ramsay and welcome to the slipshift.
The slipshift is a visual color change
that literally happens at the fingertips.
It can also be used to control a selected card
to the top of the deck.
I hope you enjoy it.
Let's have a look-see here.
I might end up teaching this one day,
maybe take it off the site
and just like teach it to you guys.
Let me know in the comments.
I mean, okay you get a little bit of that card coming back,
still kind of impossible because you can't really see
where it's coming from,
and we've got this weird claw-grip too going on.
Yeah, okay you clearly see where that's coming from.
Oh, this is a bad idea.
I always regret doing these videos,
terrible idea.
And the last one, all right,
we're just gonna move forward here (laughs),
looks better in 24 frames for sure!
This one here, this is a DPS.
As you can see, completely seamless.
I do practice my DPS.
Well, actually someone called me out and said
that my DPS is faked.
They said it was faked.
I'll let you know right now,
that was CGI (Chris blowing).
But yeah, let's have a look,
see how clean this fake DPS really is.
Let's fast forward a little bit, we get it,
the card goes in, yep.
Here we go.
Okay, there is not a frame, correct me if I'm wrong,
you kind of see it there between my pinky.
You see like a little shadow, wow.
That is probably the cleanest DPS
we've ever caught on camera, look at this.
There's not one frame that you can see.
Okay, pinky like I said you see a little shadow
but there's not even,
I should have looked at my watch there.
My watch turned on, it would have been a great subtlety.
Anything back there, keep the hand turned Ramsay,
oh, a little bit there,
no, not even dude, nailed it!
That one is one for the books for sure.
What's this here?
Oh, so there's a weird setup here.
This is the wheel change, but Daniel Madison taught me this
probably four or five years ago.
I completely forgot about it.
I was looking through a Rolodex of color changes
and I found this one and I thought
it was one of the most beautiful changes
that I forgot about, and so I practiced it
for a good like 10, 20 minutes off-camera
just to make sure I wasn't too rusty,
and then put it together.
It wasn't too bad.
It was a bit of a weird setup here as I put the card down,
you kind of see me fiddling around here
and doing some, I'm just gonna speed through that
'cause what we want to see is the change here.
So when this change happens, it's really nice.
Let's see how this looks like,
not so bad, okay yeah, so there's definitely (laughs),
definitely a big discrepancy there.
Ah, as you can see, moving on!
Just a simple Erdnase color change.
I do it a little bit differently.
I outjaw the card rather than leaving it there
'cause I like this little moment of going around.
Let me know if that's something you want to learn,
a pretty easy change, pretty basic and beginner
for anyone getting into card magic,
but I don't do this very often
so it was a little bit of pressure on me here.
No flash, that's very nice,
oh, a little bit of flash by the pinky there.
Okay, a little lining up flash,
but again, real-time it didn't look so bad.
Here comes the snap change, guaranteed flawless.
Okay, next (laughs)!
Oh then I drop it off, then I drop off the card here.
You can kinda make that out too
but again in real-time it kinda works out,
in real life, even better,
and when people are drunk, even better still.
Anyways, okay, that about wraps it up.
I'm not gonna, I'm done with these videos!
It's quite enjoyable though, to see
what I have to improve.
Surprisingly, I think everything was totally fine
'cause you saw from the intro
nothing really flashed.
A few things I could work on,
really impressed with the DPS, the diagonal palm shift.
That's about it.
Let me know your comments below,
and what you thought of this idea,
and/or, would you be willing to put yourself in slow motion?
Film yourself with a phone.
Tag me on Instagram @CHRISRAMSAY52.
Anyways, guys, thanks for watching,
got a few videos coming up this week.
We'll see you then,
Wednesday for another puzzle, peace, rah!
