My favorite effect to perform, called "Rechanged", has now been released. It's an impossible card transposition where the spectator handles the cards and sees their signed card until the very last minute!
Check out the video: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S19755 Since there seems to be no description at the above link, here is one: "Rechanged" really is a magician fooler. This takes card-transportation to a new level! A card is selected and signed by the spectator and the magician. This card is then held by the spectator in full view while a sealed deck is displayed.. This deck can be held by a spectator. The signed card is then cut in to the deck, with the spectator seeing their signature until the very last moment. Without the magician touching a thing, the card has vanished from the deck, and the spectator can open the sealed, untouched deck only to find out that their signed card is in the correct place in "new deck order". Aspects: - Difficulty level: 2.5/5. - The signed card is in full view the entire time. - The sealed deck is not touched by the magician after it's brought up. - The spectator sees their signature to the very last second. I hope you like it! Best regards, Ryan |

Looks fabulous Ryan! But, with an impossible effect such as this and a demo with a bunch of edits I am not sold. There is obviously no such thing as real magic and for the demo to show that you hardly touch the open and closed deck raises a "red flag".
If it's as clean as the demo I then will applaud you. Not trying to be cynical in anyway and do hope that I am wrong and this is as clean as the demo. Wish you great success with your release! RNK

There is basically nothing hidden by the cuts. The video demonstrates exactly what the spectator sees. You obviously need to do some sleight of hand, but this is done way before the "transposition" is happening. When you have gotten your spectator to the point where they hold their signed and selected card, and the two decks are in sight, you don't need to touch a thing. They can cut their selected card with their signature in to the deck. They can spread the deck, and they can also open the new one. You don't need to touch a thing.
Thank you for your comments, I hope this clarifies a bit! Ryan |

Not really in that vidio you certainly are not seen to touch anything ok you briefly touch the deck after the spec has placed his card in the middle somewhere, it does indeed look like REAL magic,but we all know you do have to touch a certain something so why make it look like you don't? in the vidio it just looks so impossible and certainly missleading.

Since it takes extra effort to make the edits, it seems reasonable that they serve an important purpose. One reason might be to shorten the video (possible, but a bit of a stretch). The other would be because Penguin feels that without cuts, it would be too easy for knowledgeable eyes to figure out the method. If that's the reason, it leaves us without the info needed to assess how deceptive the handling really is.
On the other hand, it's only 10 bucks...

They can hold the sealed deck AS they cut their signed selection in to the pack (they see their signature til the very last second) 3. You do not touch anything after the sealed deck is brought up. At this point, the magician can back away leaving the spectator in this position: Holding a sealed deck in one hand and their signed card in full view in the other. They can then cut the card in to the pack. They can themselves open the sealed deck after this and once again, you don't need to touch a thing. Ryan |

Am I the only one who wonder why the magician have to sign the chosen card with the spectator?!?!? I never sign a card when a spectator sign it himself!... Something is strange here.

Everytime a magician is also signing something, it has the purpose to disguise the identity or singularity of the signed object. In other words, one of the signed card, either the one lost in deck or the transposed one, is not the original signed card by the spectator.

This is a simple move where your hand goes to your back pocket to grab the deck, nothing else. The sealed deck can be held by the spectator as well as their signed card, and you don't need to touch a thing after you've removed the deck from your pocket. |

I bought this, and I like it, the load is pretty simple but a great way to position the card in new deck order, I'm just not sure how practical it would be over a long period, I have visions of going for the load only to find you are 'locked out', difficult to know without trying it I guess.
Due to the effect using a sealed deck, its not something you will repeat more than once per night imo, but certainly a strong effect worth the set up occasionally. Its not real magic, but I'm sure the spec will think it is due to the method employed - its Fax like Good value for money imo. |
