I remember my dad showed me how this works when I was 7. For weeks he practiced... He was always away. We hardly ever saw him. Then one day, BAM. He snap changed families, and now I see him every other weekend and on alternating holidays

[@jlouobv]

Have you ever considered doing a mini series where you take an average person with little to no skills and train them over like a 60 or 90 day period and document their progression? Would make a cool video series. Yes im interested and available to learn :)

first of all: thanks chris! your explainations are always the best second: for those who practicing - the light touch of index and middle finger is the most important thing to stress here. if you grab too hard it won't work no matter how hard you try

[@jakelarosa5361]

I learned this trick today and it’s easily the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, in my 2 days of magic...

[@raizereaper4697]

You learnt this is two days?

[@jakelarosa5361]

Patrick yeah I learned it in about a day, but I perfected it in like a week

How do u find it easy I can’t get the card at the back how do u do it

[@icyd1amond]

@@fizzycola1232 Watch slowly how Chris performs it. I had to take a few breaks during the day when I was practicing it, but do something different every time you mess up and eventually you'll find the right motion and hand placement.

[@davideeyo]

Chris your skills boggle me, man thank you so much for your generous sharing! I learned this move from a J.C. Wagner video about 25 years ago. An original and well-misdirected routine I use is (following the horizontal 'flick' style snap change) - with my right hand, immediately spin the [second/selected] card up about 2 feet and catch it - at my eye level just to my right. Simultaneously the deck (in my left hand, with the [first/wrong] card now replaced on top) is turned bottom to the spectator as left hand ends pointing to my temple, my mouth agape and eyes wide and a-buggin'. Freeze. The patter goes, "This'll drop your jaw....this'll bug your eyes... this'll knock your socks off...you wearin' socks?.." Look down towards their socks, chuckle, look up, then flick/snap… astonishment! Credit Doc Eason for the 'knock your socks off' line.

[@paper3993]

I figure this is the only trick that I’ve mastered. Damn I feel like a badass magician even though I’m not

[@wruzzer]

Still better than me. ;)

[@paper3993]

Knoppix nah there must be a trick that’s made for you to learn. And all you need to do is put in some time

[@spookyencounters9392]

Well done. How long dud it take to master? I don't think I've got the patience. Which sucks. Coz I hate feeling defeated.

[@charlesmonroe2971]

Bro I suck soooo bad at magic, but Chris makes me feel like I can be good one day

Dude! I can't believe you are into wing chun! That is my favorite kung fu. I have really enjoyed your videos the past couple of weeks. Keep up the good work. You have really helped me step up my cardistry and card magic. Thanks for everything.

The best thing about Ramsey's channel is how technically useful his teachings are, as well as how diverse and original his content is, along with high quality editing. Definitely an example of a lot of good things coming together.

ahhh the first move I ever learned. thanks for uploading Chris! I love the one finger handling! have always done two myself

How do you pull the finger back though

[@shawnmorgan7834]

Small world :) I’ve done Wing Chun for years and now I’ve come to you for cardist Ty and card tricks. Thank you brother

[@youreoffline4934]

You know, if I'm ever gonna turn out to be a decent magician, more than fifty percent credit goes to you. The percentage may seem insignificant, but for me it's really important and I'm just grateful.... I'm sounding stupid and I guess it's normal for teens to sound stupid. Thank you so MUCH. It takes a big heart to reveal your tricks just like that. A big thank you from an Indian girl trying to master sleight of hand!

[@rexgreenclif9057]

Hey Chris Before watching this video I knew how to do the snap change but I watched it anyway because I knew you would go more in depth with different handling and presentation of it so thank you

[@frankwilsonii7399]

Its late and you will probably never see this but I must say, Best snap tutorial ever. Been trying and trying but the results were terrible. after watching this I did the one finger hold and for some reason it all came together. no one else went over any trouble shooting either. Thanks a ton

anyone else know how to do the snap change but just watch his videos because they are good?

[@zacri9434]

Gamer moment

[@JoshuaAnderson91]

I can't believe how quick and clean that snap at 2:00 was! I slowed down to .25x speed and went frame by frame. There's only ONE frame where you can see both cards at once and it even looks like a fever dream. frame 1: 4 card. Frame 2: Queen, with a blur of the 4. Frame 3: Just Queen.

But it also entertains me. :D I'd been doing some cigarette magic too, but I'm quitting them things. Maybe "wand" tricks using pen or pencil or straw or whatnot. Vape pen tricks LOL (not nicotine ;) )

Your tutorials are AWESOME! You take your time to cover everything, and is slow enough to understand. THANK YOU!

[@BradenCarlisle]

Was that really Jesse Eisenberg's fault? Or the camera crew's? Hmm... When I perform the snap change (rarely) for someone, I could care less about if anyone else sees how it's done. I use comedy a lot, though, and say something like "That trick is only impressive to you" or "This was done using angles". I guess it's all how it's handled.

[@firstnamelastname3089]

Braden Carlisle, woah. Cool idea, I'll use that. Thanks man.

[@ZeroFlowers]

Braden Carlisle No he definitely failed that trick. He isn't a magician, if he was he'd know better 😂

[@YcleptJohn]

Or it could be the fact the host of the show said no to both cards?

[@andrewsparkes8829]

YcleptJohn David Letterman was known to be a gentle douche to guests that show off skills, though (as in he wouldn't insult a singer for singing, or a magician for magic, as it's their actual livelihood, but he'd knock an actor that sang/did tricks in a movie, if they did it irl later). In a jokey way, I mean; being the grouchy grandpa kinda became his 'thing' in his last decade or so. Did the audience see the card too, or are we just going off his own, highly questionable word?

[@magician2020]

Nice. I like the single finger start. It has enabled me to really make the presentation smoother. Double thumbs up for the Kung Fu intro.

[@mamalifekri9949]

[@Ph0_Q]

Another masking technique ive seen is blowing when you do the move instead of flicking it blow air really quick and it adds to the effect like waving your hand or flicking it. Also another cleanup ive always used was to reverse the motion back into one card after the trick bring your hands down and just reverse the motion back into a double. If done at the right time while lowering your hands it masks the angle

[@cardmagician7934]

Chris makes the best tutorials

Thanks for the tutorial. I started learning this earlier today. On and off I've spent about an or so but still seems miles away. I can do it quite well sometimes but I haven't owned it yet. I am an old fart so it take me longer to learn via muscle memory. Anyway I'll get there. Lastly I watch lots of your videos, and your mates. Good stuff, you all seem like your living the dream. Good on ya.

[@JumpUpNPullaco]

I watched this as only the second explanation of this trick I have ever watched. Played it at 1/4 speed some moments and still could not see the snap. I already fooled my kids with it. My wife is getting annoyed at the flick as I practice, and I won’t show her until I perfect it! If you can snap your fingers, you can do this imperceptibly to a forward audience. Many thanks for this tutorial. You have a new subscriber.

[@samuelgjohnson]

I used to use the snap change at the bar when I was asked for ID. I would change my debit card to my drivers licence. Bar staff love it. You're already one on one spectators. They aren't expecting anything so it sets you right up. Even scored a couple of drinks in my time.
