I perform a decent snap change. It gets wows, what Smile ??? But is there a good clean up move? Thanks for any help.

Up the forearm, snap, and back down the forearm to the deck. Thumb off.

If you're referring to the Goldin-style color change (popularized by Ed Marlo), I’d say that most learning sources teach a viable clean-up. The various clean-ups typically fall into two categories: one if you’re doing the move barehanded, the other with a deck in hand. I recall the Earick book featuring a good clean-up using the latter approach.

Magicfish seems to be referring to a snap over-style change with two or more back-to-back cards.

You mean Marlo's "In Lieu Of The Through-The-Fist Flourish"?

Hemingway wrote shorter stories than that move's title.

Assuming a Goldin-style snap, and assuming you have a table top or spectator's cupped hands to catch the card, you can do something along the lines of how Arnaud Chevrier handles it:

The Earick approach mentioned above is also worth knowing

Man. I forgot how exhausting that dude’s performances were.

I can see what you mean. The routining gets weird at times. I think they're a great demo of Ascanio technique - and perhaps what happens when you rely a little too heavily on those techniques.

As examples of a certain style, I think they're really interesting, though.

For sure. And I’m a big Ascanio fan, don’t get me wrong. But I think Arnaud’s a good example of putting aesthetics ahead of more fundamental concerns, like pacing, motivating actions, etc.

Maybe he should read more of Ascanio’s theory and less of his technique Smile

Good Goldin change clean-up, though.

Here's an old video of my snap change with clean up. You can try this handling if you like.

The Snap Change is a quick colour change where two back to back cards are snapped over, usually with a brisk sweep up the left forearm. I do it with Ouellet's Crook Move.

As noted above, Magicfish is referring to a different change. Acesover is referring to Marlo’s Snap Change, a well known handling of the Goldin Change.

You may wish to refer to Marlo's Magazine Volume 2.

Thanks!! I just hope it looks good when I perform it. This is one of two color changes that I regularly use when I’m strolling.

But that’s not a snapchange, the conditions are different! Cards are back to back and not back to face!
