The Selenium Shift is a move that Justin Miller has called "The BEST control he's (I've) ever seen!" A move allowing you to control a selected card, anywhere in the deck, to the top. This shift can also move multiple cards, at different depths in the deck, to the top in a blink of an eye. No breaks. No passes. No disturbing the deck order. It's silent, invisible and oh ya... it's all done one handed.

DVD:
The Selenium Shift is taught in an over-the-shoulder angle, giving you the best learning experience and an understanding of how the move is done.
You are going to learn the basic shift and a total of ten handlings and routines including:
- Multiple Shift: Four selections go into four different parts of the deck, and as they are squared up, they instantly appear on top!
- Cover Shift: A selected card is squared into the middle of the deck, and is instantly underneath the top card.
- Instant Sandwich: A signed card is pushed into the center of the deck and instantly sandwiched between a pair on top of the deck.
- Rising Card: A selection is placed face up in the lower part of the deck, and if by magic, the card jumps up through the deck, until it reaches the top.
- One Handed: A card is placed in the deck and as soon as you look away, it appears on top of the deck, one handed, with no cover.
- Pseudo Center Deal: 4 aces go into the center of the deck, and you effortlessly deal them out onto the table!
- The Full Routine: Schizophrenia: A signed selected card routine that has 3 color changes back to back, and inverted deck, ending with a FULL deck color change. All happening in 10 seconds.
- Color Change: A buttery color change that just melts one card into another.
- Card Vanish: A face up card instantly vanishes on the deck with no movement.

Let me start off by saying, I love this Dvd, I will review each seperate idea presented on the dvd
- Multiple Shift: Four selections go into four different parts of the deck, and as they are squared up, they instantly appear on top!
This one for me is the hardest on the dvd, you can accomplish it, but it'll take a lot more work than the others on the dvd, it does look very smooth when you nail it though!
- Cover Shift: A selected card is squared into the middle of the deck, and is instantly underneath the top card.
This is very good if you need to get the card to the second position, and I would use this in an ambitious card routine, and it will set you up for a d***** l***
- Instant Sandwich: A signed card is pushed into the center of the deck and instantly sandwiched between a pair on top of the deck.
This is really unexpected! When you put their card (face up or face down) in the middle and it appears between a pair on the top of the deck right as soon as it's pushed in, so good!!
- Rising Card: A selection is placed face up in the lower part of the deck, and if by magic, the card jumps up through the deck, until it reaches the top.
I really love this one, and it looks like the card just keeps slowly going up the deck, and people love it!
- One Handed: A card is placed in the deck and as soon as you look away, it appears on top of the deck, one handed, with no cover.
I did not think this would work at all after the explanation.I really doubted it, then I went out and did it, and it killed!It's one freakin handed!!!
- Pseudo Center Deal: 4 aces go into the center of the deck, and you effortlessly deal them out onto the table!
This one is probably the only one I don't like on the dvd, if you are into this type of thing, you will love it, but personally I will not be using this, although you do what it describes it as, but i would rather use the multiple shift.
- The Full Routine: Schizophrenia: A signed selected card routine that has 3 color changes back to back, and inverted deck, ending with a FULL deck color change. All happening in 10 seconds.
I love this routine!It is so visual, and you just keep hitting them with one thing after another, people are totally left speechless after this!
- Color Change: A buttery color change that just melts one card into another.
This is really as good as it sounds, and you can spread you fingers to show the deck empty before the change happens, very very nice.
- Card Vanish: A face up card instantly vanishes on the deck with no movement.
It is the same as the color change, but is used as a vanish instead.

The Pdf also has many good ideas, and expands on a few of the ideas on the dvd. You can literally use this for everything!! A color change, a control, or even a full blown routine! And this isn't even limited to what's taught, you can adapt it, and use it with other routines! I recommend this to everyone! Great work Chris! 5/5

Angle issues Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 25th, 2015
Good technique.
Angles are quite restricted.
Good for an audience of one or less.
Should have been a 10 buck download.
The usual overpriced material that you get with Shin Lims name on it
Great YouTube magic.

cool move but... Report this review

I've been doing magic for over 17 years, with a heavy focus on card stuff.
Daryl Martinez, Brian Tudor, Juan Tamariz, Dan and Dave, Apollo Robbins
and David Blaine were some of card experts that I studied. So for what its worth,
my opinion of this slight is this.. It looks killer in front of a mirror at
precisely the right angle. If someone is either left or right of you, forget it!
AND, if its quiet, you can HEAR the shift!
There are WAY better ways to control a card to the top than the selenium
shift. But like I said, Its looks nice from the perfect angle.

BEST shift I've ever seen Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 4th, 2015
Selenium Shift is in my opinion the best Card Control/Shift I've ever seen. Being a card magician for about 1½ years, it still took me about 4 days of continuous practising to master the Basic shift. I did not regret buying this trick or anything. Like what Patrick Kun said, there are a lot of applications for this Shift. I didn't think that the Shift would work when performing on the street because it does not really look natural. However, I performed it 2x yesterday to 2 different groups of people and they didn't notice a single thing.

This is one of the moves that I'll definitely be using in my future routines. Selenium Shift is something that can even be done alone, as a Color Change or just a vanish,like seen in the trailer.

The full routine shown in the trailer, is EXTREMELY visual. Since it's 2015 and everyone is on Social Media,this trick can posted onto Instagram. The full routine is under 15 seconds.

Is this purchase worth it? Absolutely. I would Add to Cart ASAP if I were you. for a move which has almost unlimited applications is well worth it
