Just take a look at the demo video of Misdirection Monte at http://www.underground-collective.com/effects/detail.php?product_id=2 and you will see how powerful the Underground Change really is. If this is your first time viewing the video, you were probably even fooled. I know I was.The e-book teaching the technique and routine showcased on the demo video can be purchased from the website mentioned above for around $17. For your money, you will recieve a complete description of the Underground Change utility card switch as well as routines utilizing the change. Obviously, Misdirection Monte is the showcase routine, but other effects using the change are also explained including a two card transposition, a few stickmen routines, a burnt card effect, and more. Also included are two bonus routines that do not use the move; my favorite of which is a very clever ace location by Thomas Blomberg.
The move itself, although it will take some practice, is easier than I had anticipated. It takes a kind of a knack, and your first few attempts may be frustrating, but before long you will be off and running.
You may think the price is a bit steep for learning a card move, but it is taught in great detail. The routines in the book are fun to perform and play with, but the possibilities are endless. Also, take into consideration the fact that if you put in the time to master this move, it is something you WILL use. Since it can be done with any deck, it won't sit on your shelf with other items for which you paid triple this price. If you're willing to put in a little practice time, this is highly recommended.
