This switch was originated by the late Dean Dill for his effect “Blizzard,” and yes, it flies right by them.

[@schmendrake]

I was always pretty terrified to try any of the more advanced switches I've seen out there. I have a little bit of a tremor, so anything with that level of precision was always going to be out of reach. This one is nice, simple, and easy to execute. Did my first live deck switch this afternoon into a multicolored deck full of jokers, and got that shocked looks that's the reason so many start magic. What's more, I got that look out of my wife, who knows alllll my bullshit, so even more satisfying. Loving your channel bro.

[@ChuckDanger64]

Thank you Cavan. So convincing to let the spectator shuffle the deck and then do the switch on the off beat. The only trouble I had was a few cards hanging up in the shell when the rest remained on the table. They would fall out later but it made things look sloppy. I was able to solve the problem by sticking a few pin holes through the shell so there is no vacuum effect. Hope this makes sense.

[@TheFreakOnee]

Hey Cavan, I know that I criticized you in the past but you're actually an amazing individual and just know I genuinely respect the hell out of you.

[@CavanBooth1]

👍 thanks dude

[@davidshareefChTPhD]

Holy crap Daniel ratcliffe has his own magic channel

[@alanholmes8182]

I’ve been wanting to learn an effective yet easy to do deck switch for ages and now I know one so thank you 🙂 I also have both of those decks so even better 👍

[@CavanBooth1]

Haha fantastic!!

[@tammyb2133]

This is similar to a deck switch called cold case, but I like that you taught your own D.I.Y gimmick thanks for the great video!

[@drhiteshbhatt1179]

You are giving very detail logical explanations and gives us confidence to perform the trick... Thank you so very much

[@CavanBooth1]

Thanks dude!

[@dash3435]

I was kind hesitant about using this deck switch but today at a gig I used it with the Omni deck and it worked so well thank you for introducing me to this amazing deck switch

[@CavanBooth1]

Ah that's great to hear!!

[@tomyarrow3321]

THIS IS AMAZING! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR AGES!!! please teach us the other deck switch you use. i subed

[@nightbotloki_leno9006]

You ONLY need this oneXD( titel )

[@spencermah7152]

This is a killer switch. I just did this for two very experienced magicians and they didn’t catch anything. Great video this is perfect for my performance thank you

[@LuukSwinkels]

I have used fracture a couple of times when I did magic, this looks more usefull to me. It is less clean, but nobody will ever question the action with a little of acting skills. Amazing underrated video

[@CavanBooth1]

Thanks, appreciate it

[@raymond6845]

Thank you. This is an amazing example of "Don't run if you aren't being chased". Will for sure use

[@mikerotch1315]

This was GREAT Cavan thank you. During some tricks I could see picking the box off the cold deck and set it on the original deck and just leave it on the table even. But if their curious enough, they could start inspecting everything on the table lol so ending clean like you taught is better really

[@quintopia]

I already made a gimmick similar to this for my homemade Blizzard set, so now I'm going to have to see how well this move works with it.

[@trip2belize]

Lmao your explanation about running out of the room is HILARIOUSLY accurate. Shit had me dying laughing lol, love it man. Dope shit.

[@CavanBooth1]

Haha thanks!

[@alexmarchant1418]

A nice simple deck switch, very well explained.👍

[@chicodecoster]

Love this deck switch. I can't believe that I never thought of such a simple shell to make. Thanks for sharing and I definitely will be trying this out.

[@CavanBooth1]

👍 no worries

[@notklye]

hell of an intro love the CAVAN with the ace A's in the corners

[@ronaldgundrum2174]

I really like your deck switch.

[@bkstudio1990]

I think the best deck switch is literally just using pockets. Put new deck in left pocket and take the deck in right hand. During a trick, any card trick where they have to turn over a card for a reveal place both hands in the pocket and grab the new deck with your left hand and leave old deck with your right. You need a semi strong trick to do it but Ive NEVER been caught. Not cuz im good, the technique just works. Sounds like it wont but start with an omni deck and work up to a loose deck.

[@themagicbuzz5728]

It’s funny I use Greg Wilson’s...after a big old pile of practice lol. Never once did I think of just picking up the box and putting it away❣️

[@RoyJHopwood]

This looks very similar to the deck switch used by Dean Dill in his classic trick 'Blizzard'. I was looking for a switch for a routine I am working on and I think this will work for me. Thank you.

[@AstonishInc]

I think blizzard is better because the misdirection is built into the routine and the shell is slightly expanded. That being said ending clean is nice... Guess it's situational. Always good to have more tools in the tools box.

[@TheHarleyhillbilly]

That is a great way to switch to a omin deck right in front of them while they sign their card.

[@CavanBooth1]

Yes! Great use for it

[@TheHarleyhillbilly]

Cavan Booth I just noticed 3 reply’s below mine someone used it to switch out a Omni...lol

[@charlierobinsonmagician7593]

I love Farquhar's deck switch the most. No tables or gimmicks

[@tyronejoihnson7046]

Fartquhar is a joke. Smells like a goat.

[@Jimtimpop]

I like this a lot! Thank you

[@eyewaves...]

[@bradrobbery788]

[@ronald5341]

Amazing 👍 I wanna learn your other deck switch as well 😊

[@dennissmith4382]

Great switch!

[@SilentShadovv]

Awesome! Thanks 👍🙂

[@Robinhooood1]

Great advice, thanks

[@vilkomen]

I don't understand how to start this trick. Why is there an "empty" card box on the table to begin with? Usually, the magician takes the cards out of the box at the beginning of the trick. In this trick, you need the cards all ready out of the box and on the table. So this seems like it's not something you can just walk up and do.

[@dakid1033]

Great idea!

[@courageoustruthpodcast8836]

Great effect! Love seeing your videos. Best channel on youtube! Blessings, friend!

[@courageoustruthpodcast8836]

Also, when are you releasing a deck? Or have you and I am just slow to the game....

[@CavanBooth1]

Thanks, means a lot 🙏 as for a deck... I made a joke one in response to the Nobody Knows deck but that wasn't a 'proper' deck of cards. I have, however, been working on a real deck for about a year.... 🤷‍♂️

[@TheSeventhSelf]

Nice job, looking forward to the other deck switch already

[@CavanBooth1]

[@manueldiegoalexander3879]

So nice

[@TrackHustlersENT]

Your intro just made me subscribe. Those were some dope ass color changes bro

[@CavanBooth1]

🙌🙌

[@funjuror]

Excellent, not sure that one needs to remove the top; why not a complete shell? It would also add more stability to the case.

[@martynaszemaitis1216]

OMG it's amazing

[@Tomatolover120]

I like it but can it be done with tricks where the spectator sees you pull the first deck out of its box? Seems like this would only work for tricks where you were already set up on the table with your first deck not in a box unless you add some moves swap the empty card box for the gimmick.

[@alexned8873]

Yeah the deck switch without table would be good too:) Good tutorial btw

[@name.891]

Good video

Very good and really better than "the cooler" !!

[@AndyGersh]

Cool vid. At what point do you typically bring the shell/deck into play?

[@CavanBooth1]

From the beginning, with the deck usually!

[@AndyGersh]

@@CavanBooth1 Cool. I like it. You also mention another deck switch you use a lot. Would love to hear about it!

[@kidthorazine]

Great tutorial. Personally I prefer using Cold Case/Fracture since I can use it without a table. It is a bit more angle sensitive though.

[@CavanBooth1]

Fair dos! It's all about whatever feels most natural for you. I owned Cold Case for a while and just couldn't get into liking it 🤷‍♂️

[@The_Mystic_Mind]

@@CavanBooth1 Indeed... Sweet.

[@ResoluteGryphon]

This is a very similar switch to a product called the Cooler. That one has a moving panel that allows the cards to drop into the box. I would not use this as a direct color change, as it would be too obvious.

[@milanog2681]

Your beard looks so fucking amazing I haven't watched you in like a year because I forgot the channel name but yeah I missed your videos

This is a great video. I have been searching for years for a practical deck switch which can be used close up. This is now the method which I wil actually use. And not only gave you the pure method but also the necessary subtelyties. Thank you so much!

[@decentsingersclub]

handsome fella

[@justincase116]

Maybe I missed this, but how do you present at the beginning? If you're trying to give the impression there's only one deck, then you would take the deck out of the box, and put the box on the table. You wouldn't take out a box and then take out a loose deck, that doesn't make sense.

[@tanmaytikle8521]

Exactly what I was thinking His presentation in the beginning did not show what his tutorial was about Neither did we see it being applied practically in a performance from start to end

[@funjuror]

I often walk up to a table with the deck removed. It is very natural if you are roving from table to table. Why would you keep putting it back? Don't overthink. I approach the table, smile, talk, put the deck down on top of the box, tell a little joke, pick up the deck, and away you go.

[@CavanBooth1]

huh?

[@joelsonethridge8814]

I know this vid is 3 years old, but i just want to say that the erdnase change you did is pretty rough, because we can see you slide a card forward... if you cover the whole card like palming position then nobody will see you slide the card forward. I see sooo many magicians doing it like you did, but people can clearly see how it works... try it with covering the entire card and hiding that secret move. 🍻
