SleightfulG.O.A.T Color Changing Card! [2024 Edition]
Lloyd Barnes presents a tutorial detailing his 20-year journey to create the ultimate slow-motion color change card trick. He explores various methods, including CGI, lenticular cards, and a 3D-printed gimmick with thermochromic ink, ultimately favoring the latter for its practicality and visual appeal. The method involves creating a custom 3D-printed gimmick, printing a paper strip with a red-to-blue gradient, and using clear playing cards with a Bicycle Rider back design to achieve a seamless color transformation. Barnes emphasizes the control over the color change speed and the freedom from angle restrictions. He also highlights his dedication to the effect, his learning from Christian Grace's Magic Monthly, and the availability of the 3D-printed gimmick and file on his website and Patreon. The video is a testament to the dedication and ingenuity required to push the boundaries of magical illusion.
