Giraffe Switch

Lucien

I am actually quite surprised I've never heard of this prior nor comes across a similar version. Very nice application and can instantly go into a routine of mine in which i have one spectator select a card and another spectator pick any color from a pile of about 8 colors. The card back changes to that color. I can now integrate this switch into it as well. Very nicely taught/explained and just a great surprise.

Uaahhhhhoooo

Very interesting switch. It will definitely require a good amount of practicing to master it but I think it is worth it. The camera angle in the instructional video doesn't help much, but after watching a few times I managed to get all the details necessary.

Pablo

A nice, innovative switch. Good, easy explanation. Fun to do.

A beautiful switch with many applications, a few of which can be seen in the explanation. My favorites at the moment are the “spectator touches the aces” angle and the sneaky handling for Chicago Opener/Red Hot Mama. The single card switch will take some work to smooth out, but should be in the reach of most intermediate card workers. The multiple switch and the bonus center double is probably getting more toward advanced card workers. Kyle, as usual, does a great job with the explanation.

Great Move

Very excited to start learning this. The explanation is super clear and I appreciate his attention to detail. I will definitely be using this once I get it down!

I'm a fan on knacky moves for the sake of knacky moves, so having this scratch that itch, and also be pretty versatile has been neat. Not hard to follow, but definitely takes some work to get the first card swing clean (without fanning a couple other cards)

It's a very useful and deceptive switch if done correctly, especially if - for example - a classic force goes wrong. There are two versions. The not so difficult two-handed version you will master after a little practice. In contrast thereto is the one-handed version rather difficult, especially for several cards. If you want to learn the one-handed version (which is even more deceptive and thus useful) you have to watch the video very carefully. Kyle does a good job explaining it but there a few details you still have to find out yourself because there are still many aspect you have to pay attention to. So watch the positions of all fingers, the timing, use cards which are neither too smooth nor too sticky and find out how to use gravity. The latter is especially helpful if you have small hands. I use both versions, but - as already said above - the one-handed version is more difficult than the two-handed version which is in the range of everybody who invests a little time in practicing. In contrast thereto the one-handed version for several cards is rather difficult. Nevertheless I highly recommend both versions - they are beautiful, deceptive and very useful!

This switch definitely opens up some possibilities. It is wonderful to be able to do these gimmickless. I will be headed down the Kyle Littleton releases rabbit hole now, to see what else he has to offer, because the teaching was excellent and the move is slick.

Wow, this is a really excellent move. It could have easily justified a more expensive download. For not being very difficult, it is very deceptive. I'm really impressed. Get it... Use it.

Hugh

Outstanding, Kyle!

kristof

Really much like the idea and definitely will put the work in to master it. But as a non professional magician, I will need to practice it. So if you're not afraid to put some time in giraffe is a great switch/force! the explanation is good, no fancy stuff!

Chris

Very interesting. I'm going to need some time to practice this before deciding how I might use it.

Even after years as a magician I'm very right handed so I might have to learn it using my right hand first. I find that often helps.

It looks like a complicated version of a classic sleight but I can see that it has advantages, especially when using more than one card.

Geoff

Very well taught. It's going to require some work but all good things do.

David

Well explained. And thank you for the tip about using a new deck. That explained the difficulty I was encountering.

This is some of the best card engineering I've seen in a long time! Beautiful!

One of the most useful and best tutorials/downloads I've gotten in a long time. This is a real "worker's move"! I can see a ton of applications.
The description is generous in that it says that it will be more difficult than I think it really is.
Practice? YES! but no, not technically one of the harder moves I've learned. it's more of a move that takes a lot of repetition to really just get the moves down. I found myself doing it right away, very sloppy, but again, the work will be in just getting it down smoothly, as I did it correctly within a few tries!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

good luck

HARRY

the Technique is excellent but description is lagging. like with the one handed switch there is soo much troubleshooting problems, like the cards will be pushed in diagonally or the perpendicular cards are not aligned what do you do, ect, need more explanation and help on a very difficult one handed tech
