It's fun reading you guys having fun with this as I am also. I love seeing the waitresses faces as I pay my bill with money that I make appear from thin air. They look at the money frontwards and backwards as to say "this can't be real money". I'm having a blast.
Happy Magic |

Hi All!
I just received this is the mail today and just this minute had the chance to play around with it. Here's a quick review for those who are on the fence. Please note that this is my first review and I only spent about 20 minutes with this but had to post my thoughts since a few of you pm'd me asking for my thoughts. The package contained a DVD, a plastic bag holding two gimmicks and pictured instructions. The DVD is dubbed in English and is good. Several tricks are reviewed and taught but the big question everyone is asking is how clean is the multiple bill production and how hard is it? Well, the gimmicks are no surprise. You receive two of them. One larger for a 6 bill repeat and another smaller for a 3 bill repeat. Many of you should already own one of these but that's not the secret. The brilliance of this trick is the thought that went into the actual bills themselves. It's so clever and the methods he provides for you to learn are very good. After watching the video, I found that the pictures and template provided on paper was the easiest to follow. The set up is much easier than one may think and once the bills are "prepped" it's very easy to get them back to where you need them to be, making the reset quick. PS, any bills(at least American currency) can be used. Once the trick is set up you can carry it around in your pocket until you're ready to perform it. Producing the bills one at a time is a breeze. This is actually the easiest part of the trick. The hardest part that needs practice is opening the dollar quickly as though it instantly appeared between your hands. After trying it a few times I can tell you that with a little practice this will be almost automatic. I need to be careful about exposure here! Well.overall I'm very excited to have purchased this. I waited a long time to get this but it was worth the wait. If you are unsure about this I can honestly tell you that it looks just as presented on the demo. The set up is not difficult, producing one bill at a time is very easy (almost self working), snapping the bill so it's fully open at your fingers will take some practice. Feel free to pm me. Mike |

I appreciate the fact that your review was from a refreshing vantage point that didn’t sound “indoctrinated”, using canned terminology. It was neither over-the-top excited nor did it pick it apart for self-indulgent reasons. Thank you for a straight forward review. Good job.
You answered a lot of questions the rest of us have been asking ever since we first saw the demo. When the time comes, please let us know the reactions to your real world performances to your real world audiences. Look forward to your post-performance feedback Mike. |

Thanks so much Ron and Don!
I will keep you posted after a real world performance. I'm certain it will be good. Mike |

I agree with Ron and Don with their assessment of how you reviewed this miracle from thin air. Great Job!!!!! Wish I had done a better job with my earlier reviews but you covered my butt and were right on with everything you said.
I too will be looking forward to your future posts after some of your real world experiences with this effect. |

Also received mine and don't have much to say than has already been said (thanks Ron and Don). Simply said : it does what it says the video demo exactly looks like what you'll be able to perform! Have fun folks!

I agree with the majority, this is a worthwhile investment if you do any type of money magic.

With the ability to produce more than one bill, can I assume that it would be possible to use this effect as a way into Daniel Garcia's Greed?

I used this for the first time at a carnival today and the results were very pleasing.
I introduced it by talking about 'Quantitative Easing' (a topical subject here in the UK) and how this was really all about making money out of thin air. Each time I produced a bill (4 bills) I made like I was scooping some dust up out of the air to form the bill, scooping quite vigorously to conceal the gimmick. From quite early on and without me asking them to, I had half the audience (mainly kids) copying my actions to try and produce money. |

I am very pleased with the simplicity and the great reactions I have received so far.
This is one of those effects that will always be poised and ready in my small jean pocket. Eric |

Does anyone know if there's a UK dealer for this?
(I've been having a nightmare recently with things "disappearing" in the post so the less distance orders have to travel the better!) Thanks. |

Hey all I'm new to the magic Café. I received this recently and was very impressed personally. The angles on this are pretty good. I worked out a handling so your hands are a bit lower and it covers more angles for walk around situations. But I'm glad I got a hold of this. I've tried to work out a way to get into DG's greed but its not very friendly for his gimmick. But this has a lot of possibilities for mentalism too so secretly add a billet, or something of the sort. Good work on this and I personally think you should at least give it a try and really think about the possibilities of this.

I've lost my 'gimmick' for this. Does anyone know where you can get the right size? A month or so ago I went through a box of loose ones at Abbotts and couldn't find one. I just don't want to order a bunch only to find they are too small.

I bought the dvd used, and did not get a TT or the pattern.
Does anyone know where to get one of appropriate size? Thanks; John

From the video and everything I'm assuming that a TT is being used. I guess I'm really playing for the routine more than the gimmick because it's the method that makes this look so good. How hard is it to get the method down for a causual performer (friends, families and etc)
