Here it is, a link to the full performance of Sharp Money. I have uploaded 4 different performances of it in different situations, a solo performance, a performance to camera and two performances caught at a gig.
https://youtu.be/cDni03UgVT0 I haven't tried covering anything up, I have not edited these in any way, I am not hiding anything. These are full performances from the moment I ask for the banknote to the reveal at the end, (bar one of them as it was at a gig and the person filming it was messing around for the first half of the video so it was useless, but you see the vanish on all the other performances though). It is also worth noting, this is the way I perform it 95% of the time and is only one of the four routines I teach. Enjoy. Ben |

Thanks Puggo!
I am afraid Sharp Money has not yet been wholesaled so it is only available through E at the moment. Not sure on the plans, I have no say over this I am afraid. Thanks again, Ben |

Hi Trickyat86,
This is a review that was posted in a private Facebook group by someone who I showed Sharp a money to at The Session called Saavan. He is not a member here so could not post it himself but said it was okay for me to post it. I would welcome some Café members thoughts. REVIEW TIME!��Sharp Money by Ben Williams and Ellusionist The Effect: A signed note/bill appears inside the barrel of the sharpie marker they just signed their note with a few moments earlier. Review: Okay i’ve been excited about this ever since Ben showed me a preview at the session convention. This thing is awesome! I have yet to receive the gimmick used in trailer handling of the trick but the great thing about this is that its only ONE METHOD out of 4 provided. Method: Now i’m not gonna go into each of the 4 methods because they all look exactly the same to the spectator. The handling varies from simple vanishing the note to using flash paper and other styles. Whats important here is that each routine can easily be broken into several smaller chunks and merged with chunks from the other routines, meaning you can fully customise it to your performing style, and Ben even mentions this in the explanation. Ive already decided on the handling i’ll be using and will be testing it out at the next few gigs. Ease: Now this is where it will vary for everyone. There are pure sleight of hand methods which are a little more effort and then the gimmick handling which make things a little easier for you. Loading the sharpie is done pretty much at the same time as you vanish the note, again depending on the method you decide to use. This isn't something you’ll be able to do straight away. You’ll need to take time and find out what method works best for you, practice it (and more importantly patter for the misdirection). Comparing This to Bill To Marker by Nick Einhorn: Personally I think the method for Nick’s version is easier however a lot of magicians complain that it isn't a sharpie. Firstly this is a non issue and secondly when loading the gimmick you would have to do it from your pocket, meaning that in the spectators eyes the Pen wasn’t on the table or in their hands the entire time. With this the pen NEVER LEAVES SIGHT! Its always there. To them it was in your hands and then suddenly its in their hand inside a pen that they're holding. that's the power in this. Anyways I'm not gonna ramble on. 10/10 from me and this is definitely a worker. Any questions you have shoot Ben a message or drop a comment below and I'm sure one of us could help you out. Thanks again, Ben |

Just ordered. Even though I have Mr. Einhorn's Bill to Market, I think Ben's handling looks excellent.

Are there any more reviews on this? How smoothly does it work?
|
|||||||||
Nechto Special user UK 871 Posts |
Hi Music,
Have you seen the full performance link? You can clearly see the routine, the smoothness simply depends on you as a performer, it won't take much practice, but it will take some! Plus with the four different ways of doing it there are plenty of variables you can play around with. Work is also being made towards making this a download where you source your own gimmick (which is easy to do) for anyone not wishing to pay the postage. Thanks! Ben |

Hi Ben, I have seen the ice cream truck demo and it looked great, was just hoping for some reviews from some Café members. I do like the idea of making this a download if it is fairly simple to make up.

Hi All,
Any workers take this for a spin yet? I tend to perform in short sleeve shirt. No jacket. Would I still be able to perform this as clean looking as demo? Thanks. |

Any reviews from anyone using this.
