Cardini vs Ego Change

Personally I prefer the Cardini change.
They're practically the same thing, but the Ego Change is basically a slower, quieter version of the Cardini.
If you want a card to change in a snap, visually, use the Cardini. If you want a change that happens almost undetected, like, under your waving hand, then the Ego Change is for you.
Daniel Garcia's version is a bit quieter, I must add.

In my opinion, the Ego Change is nothing more than a variant of the Cardini. With that said, I do like it more. It has a slower, more visual change than the classic Cardini, and it doesn't require an awkward finger break like the Cardini does.
They're both pretty excellent though. The Cardini is arguably more versatile due to its utilization of a finger break. I recommend learning them both. You might find them useful for different things.

the ego has beter angles but harder cleanup and the cardini has ok angles and beter clean up
i do cardini all the time

I would say that the original Cardini Snap Change has very different mechanics from the Ego Change. Dan and Dave's variation of the Cardini Change moves it closer to the Ego change by moving the break to the fourth finger from the third finger.
The Cardini change (and it's variation) can be performed absolutely silently, due to the break, whereas there has to be at least a small amount of noise with the Ego change because there will always be friction between the top two cards.

uh. nope.
the ego change can be performed silently. it depends on the amount of pressure and how you pivot it off the deck. at MOST it'll make the same amount of noise that a cardini change makes.
Really? As far as my experimentation goes, even the slightest rubbing of one card against another will make some noise, albeit imperceptible in normal working conditions. Because the original Cardini change doesn't require any contact between the two cards to be changed, it can happen literally silently.
I use both, at different times, but tend to go for the Ego change more. I have performed it for around three years, and now it is completely silent. I will say that the way I handle it a lot of the time, it would appear, looks more like the Pughe pass than the original Ego Change. As I had not even heard of the move before, I simply called it a re-handling (or something equally pointless) when called up on it, but thanks to Dorian Rhodell, I now know an actual title for the move!
