Here is the advertisement:
The magician asks a spectator if they would like a chance to win one MILLION dollars. A MILLION dollar bill and a deck of cards is introduced. The spectator selects a card and the magician explains that if he fails to find his chosen card then the spectator wins the MILLION dollars. The magician announces that he gets 3 chances as one MILLION dollars is a lot of money. After failing twice, the magician says he won’t take any chances on the final guess. He turns over the MILLION dollar bill, and stuns the spectator with what is on the back. In a unique and surprising manner, the chosen card is revealed on the back of the bill. The spectator will be delightfully amazed at the outcome, and the magician gets to keep his MILLION dollars for another day. Comes complete with two different American MILLION Dollar Bill gimmicks for repeat performances and a 45 minute instructional DVD, featuring different performance routines by Tony Chris and Matthew Johnson. The DVD also includes extra handling tips, fantastic ideas with regular and gaffed wallets, a great bonus routine for the bills and a universal routine by Matthew Johnson allowing The MILLION Dollar Dream to be performed anywhere in the world. A very commercial and extremely cute effect... Easy to do... Instant reset... Comes with 2 Custom made American MILLION Dollar Dream Bills. Includes Matthew Johnson's universal rhyming routine "An Englishman in New York" which lets you perform this effect anywhere in the world with the supplied gimmicks. This is one effect that you will want to carry in your everyday wallet so you are always prepared for a MILLION dollar magic experience!!! Here is my review: First the dvd productions are first rate in every way. From the menu to the crediting, this is how dvd's should be produced. Very clear, easy to navigate and everything is in order. The teaching is excellent and done in a very entertaining manner! Now to the effect itself. This is one of those effects that you really can carry with you at all times. It is so easy that a pure beginner can do it, but seasoned pro's will want to do it as well. It is commercial, fun, easy , and most of all , entertaining! You get good audience participation with this effect as well. Tony Chris and Matthew Johnson teach several different variations. All of them are quite good, and you will find one that suits your style. Even if you purchase this dvd and never do this effect, it is still worth it to buy this for the entertainment value. There is even a "blooper" reel on this that I guarantee will have you laughing. You cant help but like Tony Chris after watching this dvd! He has a personality that is fun and you come away feeling like he is a friend. Tony is always quick to offer any advise or any help you may need, so customer service gets top marks as well! I give this my highest recomendation, and as some of you know, I can be pretty critical in some of my reviews! |

Hi guys,
Thanks for the nice feedback. I have been using The Million Dollar Dream for about 15 years now and it always gets great responses when they see the revelation on the back of the bill. It is one card revelation that I perform many times in ALL my close up performances. Even though it is by far the simplist effect to I have ever invented to perform, it is and always will be one of my strongest!!! This is why it is always with me in my everyday wallet. I just performed it a couple of nights ago for Murray Hatfield and he said it was really cool. I had to give him the bill as a souvenir after that one of course so he can perorm it now too. Anyhoo, it is pure simplicity to perform and makes for one of the CUTEST card revelations that you will ever perform. They will always remember this trick no matter what else you do in your performnce for them. Thanks again, Tony Chris

For the working pro it is important to be remembered and build a reputation.For the hobbyist, this is just fun and good entertainment.I can't imagine anyone not liking this. Even for the hardcore Mentalist, it is always cool to throw a little humor in once in a while, keep things from getting too dry (Max Maven is a master at this)
I believe this effect is perfect for this. |

Hey Paul,
Thanks for having us in Victoria. I would love to be there to lecture for the fine folks on the Island later on in the summer. You were great to hang around with that day and I really enjoyed the whole trip!!! Thanks for your nice words about Million Dollar Dream and I would love to see what you come up with it the next time I see you. Frosty's are always a welcome refreshment especially over a side of magic on the table. Chat with you soon, Tony

Is the bill gimmicked in some way that makes this effect worthwhile? Or maybe it's the routining that is valuable?
Cuz why not just buy a bunch of million dollar bills and write your prediction on the back of the bill? And put your contact info on it and give it away. |

Hi Itsmagic,
The bills are specially custom printed for me as they are the "gimmick." I can't tell you what's on the back of the bill as that would be tipping the gimmick 100%. It isn't a written prediction and it will totally be unexpected by the audience!!! They will not see this coming! There are several excellent presentations and routines with the Million Dollar Dream that are on the DVD. This effect has been a main highlite of my professional close up act for about 15 years and a main staple in my magic lectures. Super simple to perform and is one of the most memorable things that I do for my audience. All the best, Tony

I just placed an order for it after seeing it demonstrated by a friend on here. Well worth the money.

I just bought this, and as a hobbyist doing magic for friends and families, it is great. For those of us that are limited in forcing a card to criss cross and hindu shuffle, the force Tony teaches that requires no sleight of hand skills is pure gold. He goes over it quickly in the dvd but if you pause it and go over it a few times, it is very easy and very effective. The purchase price was worth it for me just in learning the simple force. I love doing it just for fun and it will open up an entire new area of tricks since I can now force a card extremely effectively and it seems like real magic. I love this DVD. Thanks Tony!

Tony has done it again. His effects are powerful, fun, and easy to master.
The dvds are beautifully produced and thorough. In short, Tony's effects are impressive, professional, fun and kudos to him for being smart enoogh to price these to keep us coming back for more. They are true bargains and will find their way into your performance and not into the storage drawer |
