Plus...
- its variations
- and 7 highly visual effects
The Clip Shift is a utility move, like a double lift. It can also be
used to palm a card, as a color change, a control, a pass and so much
more. It’s a move with infinite possibilities and on this DVD are some
of Chad’s favorite applications and tricks, such as:
Freefall
A protruding face-up selection slowly and visually sinks through the entire deck landing in the spectator’s awaiting hand. In a blink, the whole process is reversed, bringing the card instantly to the top.
Rum Jungle
Two selections are lost and a random card is removed and held face up. With a quick shake, it visually changes into the first selection. The spectator is then asked to shake the card, which changes into the second selection.
Tricycle
A single selection viewed by three spectators is buried into the pack. After shuffling, three random cards are removed, shown, and handed out to the three spectators who are asked to confirm they are not the selection. With a snap, each spectator is instructed to turn over his or her card, and each card is seen to have changed into the selection. Each card is different.
Clean Hook
After explaining sleight of hand will be used to find the spectator’s selection, a one-handed flourish swirls the selection from the center of the deck. The cards are taken behind the back with one hand. A second later, the hand is brought out, showing the selection’s three mates all protruding from the edges of the deck.
Criterion
The four Kings are produced in mid-air. Three selections are shuffled back into the pack. One at a time the Kings slowly and visually vanish only to re-appear with the three selections sandwiched between them.
Fourplay
A puzzling effect where a selected card shows character. Straight away a returned face-down selection appears face up and upon removal it turns face down, visually. The inversions continue, leading to a chaotic climax which must be seen to be disbelieved.
#@*! Off
A double color change with one hand that begins by showing the Aces buried throughout the pack. By waving the cards, the two blacks Aces instantly appear face up on top and bottom. This is followed by another magical appearance of the two reds Aces face up on top and bottom.
Chad goes into intense detail explaining the Clip Shift and then breakes each effect down to its core. Chad's expert instruction was shot with two cameras in high definition for a crystal clear learning experience. Includes a 24 page booklet explaining the Clip Shift in full detail and more.

WARNING: This dvd is not for the feint of heart. It requires a lot of practice and hand cramps and tears but if you think you can handle it, this dvd will give you an amazing 1 handed slight that you can use for so many different things.
The clip shift and its many applications are worth the price of the DVD. They are taught very well with different angles, speeds, and clear block views. You can learn it just by watching it and if that wasn't enough there is a booklet to refer to if you get stuck and you don't have a dvd player handy.
The magic is amazing but it is explained very quickly. It is more like a run-through than an explanation. There are a lot of moves that are skimmed over and expected of you which makes learning the tricks difficult but once you learn the clip shift you can apply your own controls to the tricks
This is a nice slight to take your magic in a direction you would not have thought of before (into 1 hand). I think it should be in ever magicians bag of tricks wether you use it or not.
Overall i give the DVD a 4 out of 5. The downfalls being its difficulty to learn and the quick explanations of magic. Hope this review helped.
