This is a video tutorial on how to perform a mind-blowing card trick that will leave your audience stunned. There are various variations of color-changing card tricks, some of which are fast-paced and others have a slower reveal. One of the best is the Snap Change Card Trick, which is an impromptu trick that can be performed quickly with just a plain set of playing cards. To perform this trick, first fan a deck of cards out in your hands and ask someone to pick a card at random and look at it without showing you. While they’re looking at their card, split the card. The trick requires practice, but it is a great little card illusion for anyone to check out. To perform this trick, use a snapping motion to drag the front card behind the second card, ensuring the first (index) finger pinches the second card firmly. Start by holding the deck with your right hand and grab a group of cards from the top and move them magically.

I remember learning this trick like 10 years ago, and it took me months of practice to get it looking fairly good. Don’t give up! This trick takes lots of time to perfect, but once perfected, it blows peoples minds! Really good reactions. Also, for the people that have perfected it. You can take it a step further. Take three cards instead of two, do the snap change and the two cards will come to the front and fan out, making it look twice as amazing. Not only did you change the card, but you changed the card into two completely different cards. It also hides the back card that little bit better! Good fun.
I almost never leave a like or a comment on a article but I’m definitely giving you one I watch 3 snap change tutorial unable to perform it growing increasingly frustrate because I was convince my hand was too small to allow my middle finger to pull back the card I saw your article and I thought to myself why the hell not in the middle of the article I stopped to go practice in front of my mirror within 10 – 20ish try I could do it the first time I succeed at a decent speed I was shock I spend a minute just starring at the card filled with joy and pride now 30 minute later I can do it pretty fast you will never see this but nevertheless Thank you
I’ve noticed while practicing this trick that with the right hand movement and a bit of practice, you could hide your card back as a double card. If you slide your dumb up and turn your wrist inwards, your cards re back against each other. A good excuse for executing this move is that you want to prove you’re not hiding anything behind the card by showing the audience the side view. You do this move while you turn your cards.
Ive been doing magic for 24 years, I have learnt hundreds of changes, slights subtlety etc palming methods and advanced manipulations, this change has always eluded me, you literally said ONE thing which ive never heard before in tutorials for this ONE thing, and i can finally do this, i honestly cant thank you enough!
If you’re having trouble doing this move, and the placement of fingers feels outright weird try it with the ring finger. That’s index, middle and ring finger at the front of the card, with ring finger doing the flicking motion. It’s quite a knacky move, but learning it this way felt so much more right for me. But try both and stick with what you prefer since every hand is something unique. Just a little tip, you know.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you. Regarding the flick, I would say, aside from distraction, it actually makes it make more sense in the mind. Magic needs something. Some sort of movement, or focus. Either words, or gestures. And that is the gesture. Timed right, it seems like it was the flick that caused the change.
Wow this sleight is old, I learned this trick on David Blaine’s very first street TV special. Handling is a bit different from this guy, my 2 fingers are flush to the top, not bottom, I find it much better to pull the front card back for a tenkai palm, then regrip and flush both cards together again and display as one card.
That was by far the best instructional article EVER teaching how to perform the snap change. Thank you so much for taking the time to go over every detail so clearly. I’ve been failing for years to master it… now that I am aware of the need to relax my index finger I can finally can do it well enough to start truly practicing. Thanks a million! 🃏♦️🎩
Every time I try to pull it under it doesn’t flick under the card and even if I try it fast it doesn’t work it just sits flat under the card And i really want to learn this trick because it’s cool and my friends do card magic and then they say what magic can u do and I say not much so I try to look up these and i cant do them properly
I am able to do the trick on both hands but since I’m left handed it’s way better on the left for me and I did it on the right…I failed like 5-6 times but got it down and on the right it snapped like I snapped my finger well I snapped my fingers to see what it would look like and I seen that when you did the trick it like like you just snap fingers so I did …but the reverse one I’m stuck on I just snap then get the deck and do the wavy thing but don’t know how to reverse it
I once knew a magician that lived with his parents that kept to himself a lot and woke up one morning and decided that he wanted to make his family disappear. After the police discovered his mom and dad, 2 brothers and 1 sister went missing. He told them he put them all in a room and made the whole disappear. Some say the family went on vacation, some say it was a magic trick went wrong. Others say the family is buried somewhere in the North Dakota mountains.🤪
Great tutorial! Thanks for it. I just have one question. When using the second method (with the cleanup), it happens that flipping the cards is noisy (even if I do it very slowly), which ruins the trick. This isn’t an issue without the cleanup because the snap noise is louder. Is this because of not good enough technique or something about my cards? Thanks.
very good 52 cards and your whole crew God Bless ps like i let everyone know you all can freely make copies of all articles i upload on my Bill Green youtube article website to see all articles first click on articles and to open more articles click on more articles kp doing that to you see all my articles i uploaded
Just want to say 100% brilliiant tutorial, I struggled initially to get to “grip” with the techinique but you demonstrated it so cleanly and clearly that within a within a minute or so, I got the technique, I can’t perform the trick fast enough but I have only just watched your article, plenty of practice coming up! Thanks again for your brilliant tutorial 👌
I’ve been practicing since I saw this article. just seen where I’m going wrong. I’m not leaving the back card where it is after the change. Instead I’m trying to follow through by bringing the back card back in place behind the front card. Leaves fingers in weird position and practicing too much this way you get cramp fast. Now know I need to leave back card flat and not worry. The Silent magician.
I get using the rotating deck for cleanup, but it seems like it’s only a small skill way from putting the first card behind the second card, provided you aren’t trying to show that it’s just one card. (note I haven’t even tried this yet, just ended up here… but the position that he has the card in after pulling back, looks like it’s pretty much primed for a move to go behind the original card.)
Your cleanup explanation made no sense. Either you flick it to change it or do your arm around. If you flick it and it changed why would you go around your hand twice after its changed????? I’m referencing the last little bit of the article. You contradicted yourself. You didn’t really explain how to get out of the card flick without the deck being right there or rotating the deck around which is suspicious after it changed,
Anyone else do this trick really well right away? I’ve been perusal magic my whole life but never tried it. Like throwing cards. It seems magic in a sense and I watched one article on how to do it and I can throw that baby with power and accuracy. Same with this. I don’t know. Anyone else a quick learner? I’m sure once we get into the harder things I’ll have trouble lol.
I’ve noticed considering I’ve only been doing card tricks now for two days. A Mirror is the best was to focus eyes without looking at your hands. You can see your body where and how to stand and best way to hide . You can come up with your own distractions while doing this trick in the mirror. Hilarious. My daughter called me ant man yesterday… I feel great thanks!
Did anyone notice that card manipulation that he did just before the trick?? It helped me to relax my fingers and not grip the cards tightly with my index finger barely touching the card. Person looking at you from the front cannot see how far your finger is to the card. Once I do the change I pull the card as far back as possible with my middle finger. It also helped me to do this with my eyes closed in order to make it smoother. And then do it over and over in the mirror. And then synchronize the flicking the card with my left hand is difficult for me.
The use of the flick as I watch is not so much for the audio distraction as for the visual distraction. The flick draws your eye right, the result being that you fail to notice that the card is now being held with one finger rather than with two. Without the flick, you not only see a card disappear, you see a finger disappear.
Hey Jay on the 2nd color change when you pull them out as doubles and you line them up on the deck halfway quarter. When the thumb pulls back the card and your hand comes back over it to pull up the other card.. this is where my question is.. to get to stay on your hand like in the article are you using your thumb in your pinky under the Palm together to hold the card?????? I got the whole color change move. But I’m trying to do it the way you have it but I can’t figure out to keep it clean with the cart stay into your hand. The closest I can get is between my pinky and my thumb and if that sometimes the card still flashes a little bit. So I was wondering if I was right or wrong on how you are keeping the card on ur hand before the wave and drop???????
Briiliantly explained Jason and u have inspired me to give this a go, gonna take a lot of practice as u said in the wideo but the pay off will be worth it! Spent many hours perfecting the snap change and neraly gave up but it was so worth it when I finally got there! Just subcribed, keep up the great work mate!
Great article or I should say great articles that you always post. Question, there are so many different sites and color changes but how long do you practice one at a time do you keep doing it until you get it or practice or 20 minutes and move on to another one and then come back to it I was just curious on how to practice different moves
