Make a few with blank paper until you get it right. It will be worth it.

Ok. I went to 3 banks looking for new crisp bills. The first bank I went to had brand new $5's. None of them had new ones. So walmart happened to have some new ones and I got those.

I attempted to assemble the gimmick again. This time I was very meticulous, and tried to do everything perfect. After about an hour, I noticed the gimmick looked very obvious. The last bill did not look like one bill, from the folds you could see it looked like several. It was very obvious. I guess I didn't do a good enough job. I'll attempt it again, but this is a real pain. I don't know what I did wrong.

I tried to assemble it again. Seems better this time, except there's another problem. With the other bills inside it does not look like 1 bill, I think because of the lip created. Is there a way to minimize this?

Thanks

I think if you take your question to the "Secret Sessions" you might get a better detailed explanation. Don't you think?

You don't really have to. There's never a time that it should, even before the handouts were invented.

You just need patience and practice with construction. I'm a horrible gimmick maker, but I still managed to pull it off somehow. It just takes practice.

I really can`t see how someone could have a problem constructing this, simply because everything is aligned. There is no estimation or anything like that. It`s literally lign up the bills and stick them together. I`m not saying this to insult anyone, I`m just really, really puzzled as to how you can construct this incorrectly.

I guess the items don't ALWAYS line up perfectly. I'm in the process of changing 5 U.S. $1 into 5 Canadian $5 bills. I didn't realize until I started doing this that U.S. dollars aren't as tall as the Canadian versions, but they are longer, so I spent an hour the other night just trimming all of them ever so slightly so that they now should line up perfectly (I haven't finished making the gimmick yet). I'll let you know how it goes!
It would really be quite tragic
if the world had to do without magic!

I aligned it up perfectly and it still won't work. I don't know.

Well, aside from the issue I addressed, what else seems to be the problem?

It seems I built the gimmick correctly, it was just the nature of the effect itself using the gimmick I thought would look obvious. It works fine now

This DVD is one of the best in terms of teaching , there is nothing left out, it is simple to follow, very clear and he goes over in such detail, without boredom, the only problem with this DVD is, there are too many good options, this is simply one of the best effects I have ever purchased, this will get used, a lot.

Hi everyone,

I just bought the Extreme Burn 2.0 upgrade package from Richard Sander's website this morning. And later this afternoon I received mail that they have shipped my package. It's been an awesome EB 1 now I'm excited to see the new EB 2.0 gimmick.

By the way, I have a concern (a bit off-topic) but this usually happens when I do EB, how do you handle the "Can I see the money?" audience? Or the "Can you use my own money" audience?

1. Yes, hand them a couple of the bills. (Besides with 2.0 you can hand out all of them anyway)
2. Yes, I charge $100 for each bill I have to change.

The idea of how to hand out the bills made the price of 2.0 upgrade well worth it to me. I do it a bit differently but use Richards basic ideas to hand out the bills. Now I hand them out or at least put them on the table for anyone to pick up should they want to....nothing to see. For me it's perfect.

I like EB as much as I do "Fraud"....it's a tie for my favorite folding money effect!

Thanks Richard!

Have a nice weekend all.....

I just got my EB 2.0 upgrade package here in Budapest, Hungary. It only took a week to ship. Richard was fast in getting it to me. He even replied to my inquiry if they received my payment.

Mario,
True. Now in 2.0 you can hand it out. This is gonna be fun. And the charging bit, that is a cool idea. And it worked, they stopped suggesting their own money. hehe!

Bobby,
I agree. The hand out part is worth the price.

Hey

How many gimmicks come with the DVD? Or is it the type of gimmick that, when you know what it is, can be made fairly easily?

Just wondering as it'd be nice to be able to have a couple of different changes, or be able to practice making.

Cheers,
Jack

Can I take apart my old EB1 gimmick, or must I start over and create a brand new one with EB2?

You could pretty much take apart the EB1 gimmick and replace it with the EB2 gimmick! I would start from scratch though assuming the bills you use look super old like mine do! Been using mine for over a year and haven't replaced it yet!
