This DVD is full of content and provide you with almost erything to learn all the tricks.
If you wan't to learn card magic then this is the DVD for you.
You can even make your
own magic with this DVD (Diffrent card handling to make a new color change effect).
And for
penguin I think all the costumers like DVD with Live performence.
So what is a good DVD?:
First of al the trick so in a good order.
Trick demo in studio.
Trick demo in
public/street/ live.
Trick explanation
Trick Handling Tips.
What to do if the tricks go
wrong with all the audience around. (this one is very important).
Live/ public/ street demo
from the trick that wasn't performed good so we can see how the experts are dealing with that.
Bloopers.
A good teacher is a must like:
Jay Noblezada
Daniel Garcia
Why them? They can explain and teach you the trick. (they make it easy to learn).
They are
funny.
So penguin for in the future DVD's this is a must for us.

This DVD is a well-intentioned DVD, but misses the mark, for me, on many occasions. Some of the
tricks are angle-restricted, meaning you have to have a certain angle relationship with the
audience, and that isn't always practical. The concepts in the video are right on, but I found some
of the tricks impractical for day-to-day magic. Some of the hints and points are well worth the
rest though, so it's a tough call, for me.

If you like card magic, than you have to like color changes. This dvd is great. Variety of moves.
You will find something you like. Also for a variety of skill levels.
Great value.

moves i had mastered and used occasionally, there are new changes i had never even heard of! the
winter change is one of my favorites and i try to use it at much as possible. it is a great resource

Best color changes. Easy to learn just practice practice!! I like Jay very good teacher. He goes to
every detail and easy to understand. I recommend it!!

Many have reported this is a beginner DVD. And yes, maybe it is. I am new to color changes so guess
would be branded a beginner in this area. I have played around with changes I have run across over
the years but never perfected them so figured a DVD would be helpful.
To my disappointment,
Jay is not the best teacher, or at least it was not edited that way.
The DVD is more of a how
to rather than in depth instruction.
Proper instruction would have been to assume the user
knows nothing on the subject and go into the fine points of whata beginner might encounter and how
to avoid it. (Like avoiding clicks or flash or fine points of the place to look like a wave of the
hand . This DVD pretty much just goes through the basics so not really a teaching session.
Many of the changes are great for CAMERA, one on one or distance with audience in front. There
are more changes than not that look good on video but I find it hard to believe anyone uses this in
a normal performance. THe changes that are one handed would have major angle issues if you can
not control your audience.
The Dirty Work section is major failure. It is not helpful
with the hands blocking most of the moves.
Conclusion, for $5 and if you are new to
changes, it might be helpful but do not expect to become a master at changes from this. Honestly
many of these can sadly be found exposed on the net and in some cases taught better. Sorry Jay.

I found the format of the DVD, i.e. going from instructions, to dirty work, to bonus, and such to be
a little annoying. On both DVD players, the DVD had trouble switching back and forth. Whoever
designed the menu for this DVD was trying too hard to be cool; which for me, resulted in difficulty
navigating through the sections.
Jay is a good magician (5 stars) and an OK teacher (3
stars) on the Color Change DVD. I did like his Self Tying Shoelace DVD and felt his teaching on
this video was excellent.
All in all, you should have this DVD in your arsenal of stuff.

Noblezada is a low energy teacher and he's not a master of all the changes. He flashes during spin
change and has a poor top change. He doesn't cover why you'd want to use each change. I suggest
buying Dan Harlan's "Tarbell 25: Sleight of Hand with Cards" instead.
Some changes not in
Tarbell:
Snap Change is a popular modern card change.
Flip Flop Change is terrible -- don't
do it.
Twirl Change is a popular modern card change. David Blaine does it. Noblezada credits Jay
Sankey but this predates him.
Spin Change is similar to Twirl but it has a flourish and you can
change the card's back -- quite nice.
Strange Change is misdirection. Anyone can come up with
their own version.
Great collection of changes, ranging in skill set from easy to medium. Nice bonus is teaching,
double turnover, second deal, and top change. Great variety and a couple I had never seen or heard
of before.
The teaching was a little rushed i thought. He didn't really go into a lot of detail. Basically it
went something like this, do this and that done. I went to youtube and i saw videos of people
teaching how to do card changes and they were much better. They went into a lot of detail and the
teaching wasn't rushed like this. I learned better from a free youtube video.
Don't get me
wrong, Jay still rocks. He comes up with great ideas foe effects. But this dvd could have been
better.
