Im not good at long reviews, but I think most people will be very happy with this.
You get quite a few accessories along with the dvd and the effect is very easy. It shows you how to do it with a borrowed bill, and your own bill, but believe the borrowed bill version, is just as easy as using your own, which means, I will only do this using a borrowed bill, unless I want to follow up Fraud with this, which would be great, because you could do fraud, hand it out, and without a bill switch, do this. Also, this would be a great follow up for some one who has seen you do Fraud before. When I saw the demo, I thought I knew how this was done, and I was right, which is a good thing. I think I will use something every magician has in conjunction with the method, as it makes the handling even easier, in the getting in to and getting out of department, and do away with a certain something, that is replaced with said item. It goes over handling rough bills, which is real close to the original, but still more fair looking, as the spectator is holding the bill streched between their hands, and your not touching the bill at that time. Peeler is quite nice and also uses part of the kit, as does the spinning pen. He does a good job handling the pens and there is some nice thinking in that one. This is a very nice handling of night shades, and even though I was pretty sure I knew what was going on, I still got it, cause it was truly a great idea, being able to make the shades visibly jump. You not totaly clean when you hand the bill out but the bill is, and I'm sure the heat will be on the bill, so that's a non issue. I personaly don't like the getting in to and out of aspect, as I feel there may end up being a little pocket searching going on, and is why I will be making the changes mentioned. My over all opinion, is a lot of people are going to be doing this, and the minor pocket concern, (to me) is not that big of an issue, and is easily remedied, if you feel the same way I do.(you may not) So I feel this is a killer effect made even better, and like I said, you get a nice kit to boot, even a sharpi pen. Killer effect, and the moment the shades move, is very easy, and angles are great. Well maybe that will help, until a more thorough review comes in. All the best, Steve |

If you like the idea of the shades jumping, I think you will like this.
The method is much more practical than thread and it uses no type of pull. I can tell ya that it is very practical, and if you get it, let me know and I will give you a tip, that makes the get ready and clean up a lot safer, quicker, and easier, and you will be reset. the dvd shows you reset also, but like I say, I'm pretty careful, and even if this becomes a non issue, using the other item, in one items place, still makes it a little more practical, and as safe proof as I think you can get. If you don't mind setting up before anyone knows your doing something, which is only several seconds, then you will be fine, I just like to be able to do it anytime, even if someone just hits me up to do something. As far as, once your ready, I think it's even easier than the original. I carry several things in my pocket, and just think something could get disloged, in the pocket, that would cause you to have to fish, and I'm not down with that. Like I said though, there is a realy nice solution, that I thought that they would use, and I think should have used, that keeps the handling the same, but keeping the set up much safer, and I think just about everyone who gets this, will see what I'm talking about. Just remember, if you are a worrie wort, like me, don't fret, cause it is a peice of cake figuring it out, and if not, just give me a pm, with proof of purchase, and I will tell you, in one sentence. I Highly recomend this, and think it's a nice package that keeps you from going on a hunt, for the items needed, and doing it, with one simple but what I think important change, makes this a very safe, super simple, anytime burst of astonishment, that is great for walk around, and any type of closeup work. All the best, Steve |

Just wanted to say, not to let that scare you, as sometimes, such things sound like a nightmare, but realy not, just wanted to share my honest opinion, and to again state, if you like what you see on the demo, GET IT! |

This looks really good, I had the original and there was a cover up but nobody noticed.

I prefer the original where you appear to manipulate the picture instead of just changing it? I don't know if you can understand what I am trying to say. :S

See I'm waiting on mine, now I wont make the change as visual as in the Demo, I would like to do it with a wave. Reason why is I think the way it is now is that Too much to handle type of moment. No room for them to explain it except gimmick. but if I can do it with a sleight wave of my hand across the bill then it becomes a mystery, how did he do that? Leaves them with some type of explanation (IN THERE HEAD) although they will never get it, it gives that extra out. IMHO

You can do it with a wave of the other hand, if you want, and not do a shake at all,

*You borrow a bill.
*You draw the shades in front of the spectator. *You show your drawing. *You make your drawing move. *You hand the bill back. .... Is this how straightforward the effect is? Just wondering..

As I said above I prefer to apparently manipulate the picture, where I seem to pull the glasses up. So is it possible to do it slow and put my finger at the very tip of the glasses. The way Cyril does it actually. That would be cool.
Yours,
Ivan |
