Chapswitch is an effect from Nicholas Lawrence in which a dollar bill and a Chapstick visually transpose. It has a great visual moment where you hold the dollar bill rolled up, and with just a shake, it visually changes into a Chapstick.
I really love this effect just due to its organic nature. Money and lip balm are very commonly carried around and no one would look twice when you pull these two items out of your pockets. When you perform a visual transposition like this, it is so powerful. This is why I love this effect.
The method isn't very new, but has been applied to these objects in a new way. The gimmick is very easy to make (you receive the supplies to make the gimmick with your own currency) and perform with. It is very durable, but if it breaks on you, you get two more replacement gimmicks so you will have enough for life.
The routine takes a bit of practice, just to get smooth with no awkward pauses. It is well choreographed and Herman covers each aspect of this routine in depth on the DVD. Practice for a few days in front of the mirror and do a few test performances in front of friends and family, then you will be ready to perform at any time with gimmick in your pocket.
The DVD, as usual from SansMinds, is very well produced and there are no issues regarding sound, production and lighting. Herman teaches the routine in depth and walks you through the ins and outs of Chapswitch.
Beautiful effect. This is the definition of organic magic. I will use this and I truly believe this is a powerful piece of magic to add to your arsenal. 10/10
