While watching "ShapeShifter", magician Alex from ExoMagic found an outstanding new method and handling that will blow your spectators' mind.

Imagine if you will - You shuffle the deck, and peel the top card off. Display it to everyone at all angles. Then you give it a blow, and BAM, it has changed!
  • Not angle sensitive
  • NO gimmicks
  • 100% clean at the end
  • Very open unlike other methods
  • Bonus PDF and Tips! by Billy Vatcher (13 pages with illustrations) (Coming Soon)

There is a video of this posted on MagicStuff's site if I am not mistaken. From watching the DVD, I have found that the handling is way different then the shapeshifter. Many people think this is a rip-off, however reviewing it, it has a much more "open" and "natural" action compared to the ShapeShifter.

//Edit//
Got this from Magicstuff's site

I tried out the handling and it feels like when I was first learning the Shapeshifter, hahah. I don't see how it's any more or less open than the Shapeshifter though, but it's definitely an interesting move.

Yep, the way I do shapeshifter you can't see the middle finger of your dealer's-hand. Doing it like this it makes no big difference at all.

Even tho it's a neat Idea.

Hi,

I would actually have to disagree with you on the "un-natural" part. While performing the ShapeShifter I couldn't help but feel un-natural, and the spectator noticed that I was holding the cards "oblonged". Presenting this trick is the exact way you hold the card, except your finger placement may feel awkward.

It is a GREAT color change.
I think the original Shapeshifter looks unnatural and also, sometimes it spins too far and reveals everything.
This new method is way easier and way more bulletproof.
The video quality is great, but the overall production quality isn't as awesome at all.
However, I'm glad I had the chance of picking this up.

...If it does that you need to practice more bud. (o.O)

I've found that a subtle little movement makes the shapeshifter far more invisible. Simply tweak your wrist a little inwards and voila, it looks like the card didn't change place ruling out the fact that it spun around. =]

I guess I'm just not willing to put the time in to practice this move since I've found something that works.

When i learned the Shapeshifter I found this grip easier, so now I mostly use this grip instead of the original Shapeshifter grip.

This can be called as a variation of shapershifter. The ones who know how shapeshifter is done, the can get this after a few looks.

I tried this and it actually seems a bit harder to get used to then just shapeshifter.
