For those interested, J.Bayme and Theory11 have been nice enough to produce a color change of mine as an instant download on their site. The effect is called El Cambio Nada and was originally published by Gene Taylor in Antinomy Magazine #7.
If you're interested in the download, you can pick it up from here: http://www.theory11.com/1on1/ Also, here's a link to the video: http://www.theory11.com/1on1/#new/page:1......video:94

This is an amazing one card change without holding the deck. It totally blew me away.
I looked in Antinomy #7 and it's even better than it looks: no side angles! (only the back) Just don't butcher the change and make it look fluent as per Eric's performance on YouTube. The moves around the change itself are as important than the one required by the method. Congratulation... again!!!

Beutiful (i know that is spelled wrong;)) change!
However, there really is not much original about that change, you just took Rune klans full palm change and did it the other way around, I know he is credited, but still... But again beatiful change, and actually I like the change more when done this way |

Yep, that's pretty darn cool. Haven't seen a color change done any smoother than that, none any more so simplistically convincing. Beautiful E, just beautiful!

There are several fundemental differences between Rune's Full Palm Change (published in Magic Magazine in Josh Jay's awesome Talk About Tricks Column) and what has come to be known as El Cambio Nada. The only mechanical similarity is that a card is shifted from the rear and moved to the front in the action of a palm. In my change the card never appears to be completely obstructed fro view. I understand how on the outset that the changes seem to be the same, but the mechanics, and aesthetic are completely different. Diligent study of both moves would prove me correct. I invite you to try. I actually came up w/ my change a couple of years prior to Josh putting Rune's change in Magic Magazine. My first exposure to Rune's change came about when Gene Taylor w/ Antinomy Magazine published El Cambio Nada in issue #7 and added the credit to Rune. Neither I or T11 would have produced this 1-on-1 on the site had Rune not been ok w/ it. We actually waited several months(we shot the video back in March) to hear back from Rune to give his blessing before releasing the download. Had he not given the ok, then we wouldn't have put it out. Crediting is ALWAYS key.

Speaking of credit:
As my lists and my posts do more than proving, I'm very much in favor of crediting. I must stress however that there is a mania with some magicians to be negative about every new moves or effects, just to show that they are knowledgeable about the trunk of the tree. Let's be clear, nothing is new technically: bringing a card that was behind another in the front is not new. It existed even before Erdnase. However when a magician, like Eric did with Cambio Nada, comes up with a handling that looks really substantially different and makes a principle instantly accepted, it means he did something right and different. The Romans, 2000 years ago had to deal with the same problem and solved it in saying "Non Nova Sed Nove" (which by the way is the name of my C&Bs routine) meaning that "the idea is not new but it's done in a new way". Recent years have added to the credit the notion of popularizing a move or a sleight or an effect. As I already wrote, Ed Marlo didn't invent the Spider grip vanish (but Jean Caroly published it in 1902) but created the name and popularized the move. Then Michael Skinner did it from a French Drop position (to be able to classic palm the coin more directly) and it became his Spider Grip Vanish. Thus thank you Eric for your Cambio Nada. My point is to demonstrate that when a principle is found, modern times and specialization tend to go deeper and deeper into the subtleties offered by such a principle. The principle is only the trunk of new branches which make new trees. Let's take David Roth's "Shuttle pass": the move was in print way before David made it known (including in an early Spinx David Jamison's C&Bs routine), even the name was coined by Stanley Collins for what we now call the Utility switch. Should we deny David Roth the fact that his name can be attached to this move? No one in his right mind would suggest this. Should we deny other coin manipulators who developed subtleties with the move, the right to have their subtlety recognize and their name attached to this "new way"? I think that great magicians like Michael Rubinstein who worked to bring the shuttle pass to the fingertips, Michael Ammar who discovered that moving the coin immediately after the sleight was considerably enhancing the illusion, Jay Sankey who discoved that allowing the final coin to fall from the fingerpalm into the palm was a splendid convincer, deserve recognition and should be defended against "know it all" who simply go down one step in the creation process (towards the trunk) to look smart when their comment doesn't bring anything to the creative process. This kind of source diggers use their knowledge negatively and try and make magic step back to the limits that their knowledge reached. Magicians like Eric go to the same point and break the barrier. This is the interest of getting knowledgeable: finding the paths which still have room for progressing. Thus thank you Eric for your Cambio Nada. All this underlines that there is a better way to use any advanced knowledge that we gained, a different one from bashing new moves with the trunk of the tree, just to appear knowledgeable. It consists in using it for getting deeper into the subtlety and/or the casualness, and/or the directness, and/or the elegance meaning making it more magical. Hence thank you Eric for having done all of this in your Cambio Nada.

Just an idea for Eric
Boris Wild came up (in his poker routine) with a very smart way of having cards sticking together (only the face of one card requires preparing). Would you give it consideration for the "card" to be casually tossed on to a table at the end of your Cambio Nada? It's much better than the dab of wax used by my late and sorely regretted friend Tommy Wonder, and it's totally invisible.

I cannot disclose the idea of Boris Wild because it's his and he sells it (for a very reasonable price) but it is superior (IMHO) to Justin Miller's idea. It enables to freely use the deck outside the color change.

The move is great and technically is fine, it's a fooler. But the name "El Cambio Nada" does not mean anything in Spanish as this phrase does not make sense. Do you mean to say that there is a change and nothing appears to happen?
I think it is too late to change as the name "El Cambio Nada" has stuck but if we are to be academic in magic; referencing, crediting etc., this should be said. Just my two cents. Sorry. I have seen Eric perform and have been very impressed with his technique and his persona in magic. Sorry if I appear to have chimed in too harshly. Greetings |
