At least with Fiber Optics extended he added the Ring effects. This seems to be a much better addition then slightly modifying the gimmick to get the same results.
I didn't see the difference in thickness of the bills, unless he figured out a way to slit the bills and remove the "cardboard" center...

I loved the first one. I wrote to him and mentioned a few very minor things I did to improve the trick for myself. He quickly responded and then when I sent him the idea he never responded. I included in the email that I wanted nothing for the contribution if he liked them. I still love his dvd and think its one of the finest upclose magic tricks around.
I keep my money in a money clip no big deal but it keeps the money in very good shape and its alway ready. |

Improvements is what we should all strive for.
The better it gets the better we all are. Sad will be if we are stock with a trick that cannot be improved. Think how good the bill change concept is going to become in the future with all the improvements that they can create. Why getting upset. I am excited that this effect is getting better and better. |

Nobody b*tched when Michael Jordan retroed his Air Jordans 10+ times for each of the 30+ models. Or when Honda released the Civic 5+ times.

Look for it to cost about $29 for the "new improvement". The demo shows nothing new, which is the only thing we can judge it on right now. So, if it's the gimmick that has changed, and we still get the same visual, then there really is no reason for a new version is there? Who cares about what is inside, the laymen will never see that. What they see is the visual bills changing.

I and many others !@#$%ed about the Jordans, they really cheapened the brand when they did those ridiculous cartoonish versions of the classic Jordans. Fortunately they didn't screw the 4s up too bad with the updated version.

Is it just me or does the video demo show him handling the bills more freely?

I'm with you mike, looks much cleaner but hard to really tell, guess we have to wait till it comes out and make a decision then

Yes, it is hard to tell. Richard does everything so smoothly so the difference in his hands is hard to see a difference.

I just watched the YouTube demo for EB2. I don't see this as an improvement so much for the spectator, who will see the same effect either way, but it might be an improvement for the magician in terms of ease of handling.
The difference to the spectator in Handout 500 is perhaps more obvious, but until I try it myself I won't know if the handling is more difficult. I suspect it might be, but practice would undoubtedly mitigate that. All of the Easy Money effects are the same to the spectator when performed correctly. Only we know the difference. The different versions I have seen all have something to recommend them in terms of the different handlings, but the lay person will experience the same thing. |

Easy Money is a classic,but like I said before,it was very nice seing a whole new approach to this effect that was outstanding on it's own merits. It's the only really new take on the multi bill change that is truly outstanding and offers many features and not just the hand out ending. I have it set up for four ones to four fives and five ones to five tweenties and the cost for both gimmicks cost me a total of twelve bucks! I ask for a tweenty or a hundred and do the change with my ones and exchange bills that instant. I get the benefit of the handout ending and then simply exchange bills back when I'm done. My opinion is based on owning most all the Easy Money Variations and for someone who has never had a version of Easy Money,i would recomend both. John |

Here's my thing with this effect. If I add this to my repertoire it means that I don't have access to those bills any more. So, if I use 4 or 5 bills of $20 and 4 or 5 ones this effect is actually costing me $84 to $105dlls. I love the effect, but it seems a little pricey for me. I know you could re-use the gimmick as a regular bill, but if this goes into my working repertoire then I can't. These bills need to be ready to go always, so effectively this trick costs me 80 to 100 dlls, plus the DVD. Sure, it pays for itself, but other tricks seem to have a better investment/utility ratio. Does anyone out there share this view with me? Or am I completely missing something? Maybe I'm focusing too much on the business side and not in the art and beauty of the effect. That might be what it comes down to.

Couldn't you do magazine clippings or paper clippings to one dollar bills?

In canada, we would have to use 5's so its quite costly. And I personally think its stonger to turn 5's to 20's (or 100s) instead of magazine clippings to some bills...
