Daniel teaches four card changes - so called color changes:

• The Fan Change
• The Wheel Change
• The Swing Change
• Delusion

The Fan Change
This is what Daniel considers to be a signature color-change and it is one of his favorites. A card is turned face up on top of the deck. The deck is fanned and before the fan closes the face up card has changed to another card.

This photo-illustrated ebook contains two powerful utility sleights that are easy to do and naturally motivated:

1. The Automatic Bottom Palm is a completely covered, completely automatic palm that anyone can do. If you've been afraid of palming, this is the move for you!
