Love most of Matt's effects. Hope this one is good too.

http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/9193

No description yet, but it already has 26 reviews.

(Really want to find out which arcade they go to all the time. I am going to live there.)

I love how all the Penguin reviews show up on the same day. Makes me feel like I didn't get one of the free advance copies

This is a great effect and at the price it’s a no-brainer. If you like Matt’s stuff then you already know you can expect fun and impactful magic.

This is in one of Matt’s ebooks and it’s KILLER.

So simple as you would expect from Matt, but genius. He is so good at squeezing the most out of a simple method.

Picked this up based on Madison's recommendation. I HATE arts and crafts, but in this case, super simple to make up the gimmick. Very nice - I definitely will use it.

Love Matt Mello stuff but on the fence on this one because every time I see the words "arts and crafts" I get a little twinge and it's never as easy to make as "they" say it is.

Penguin does that and you are not the only one who feels this way. I have bought so much from them over the years, and never get offered any special discounts or free copies. But I do get requests from them to review the products which I have bought. That's it.

Where if I may ask?

Will it work with other currencies, €uro bills/notes have different colors and it seems the verbal "2 dollars bill" is a DR bit that is needed right?

Thanks

Does this require altering or possessing a large value bill to perform. I ask because I cannot afford that requirement

Profit can be found in his ebook Psycho Logical. While I really liked the ebook, Profit was the best effect it in. It works really well and I have been using it since the ebook came out. Simple yet devastating. As is most of Matt's effects.

Ok, so judging by the clip - you can't do this if your currency is different colours...as in, in the uk - our five pound notes are blue and white, tens are brown and white and so on...plus they're different sizes...

Hey guys,

Thanks for all of the interest in Profit! It's one of my favorite demonstrations of mentalism with a real world purpose.

To answer the questions about arts and crafts, it really is extremely simple. This should be a non-issue.

Glenn, there's no need to destroy an expensive bill to perform this. I teach how I created mine for free, without having to embarrassingly bring pieces of a bill to a bank to exchange. You also don't need to use a bill with a high denomination.

As for currency with different sizes and colors, I do suggest a possible handling/adjustment in the download that is a little different. I haven't actually used it with other currencies, but unless one bill is twice as large as another, I don't think you would have a problem applying my suggestion.

Hundred dollar bills are substantially different in color and style than $1 bills. Color variation should not be an issue.

The method is easy and leaves plenty of room to have your own presentation for this.

Packs flat and has the potential to get deep into people's heads.

I first thought it's the old trick that does only work with $, where you cut out the 100 from a 100 $ bill and stick it on the same spot onto a one dollar bill, but that wouldn't work with Euros, where not only the sizes, but also the colour changes with each bill. It reminds me of the Derren Brown effect where he pays in a store with blank pieces of paper. Sounds worth checking

Is this effective in a one on one situation or best for a group?
