Cinch is a bill change that lives up to its name. Not only is Cinch one of the most visual bill switches you will ever see but it’s also one of the easiest you will perform. The Cinch bill switch is clever and uses a non traditional gimmick that makes the effect a breeze to perform. Unlike other effects where a bill instantly changes, Cinch takes very little time to set up and perform. We include everything you need to perform and with the super simple set up you can perform this almost instantly out of the box. Also included on the Cinch DVD are variations on the basic effect and additional PDF's included to give some bonus ideas that will inspire even more creativity with this awesome gimmick. Creator and full time professional magician Shaun Robison teaches you in great detail on how to use Cinch to its fullest potential including the ultra easy way to hand everything out for examination.

Points To Remember:
CLEVER METHOD: GIMMICK DOES MOST OF THE WORK.
SUPER EASY SETUP: NOT A BIG ARTS AND CRAFT PROJECT
NO THREADS
NO THUMB TIP
EXAMINABLE
VISUAL
FUN TO PERFORM

It does look good.

Well, I am really big into all thing Bill Switches, so I will most likely get this.

Biggest problem here, looks like you aren't borrowing a bill. This is a big trade-off for this single bill tip switch.

He does offer some routines that look to be others, I hope there is crediting.

"Clever Method" Boy does that always scare me.

But if may work well for quick walk around, and I really like the slow printing bill, wonder if a template is provided. This would be a nice quick walk around piece at a restaurant, especially if the table doesn't any bills, this could be an alternative.

Let the Hype begin...

So apparently I'm the only one who can see "the gimmick" throughout this demo? IMHO looks way way way too obvious.

It lives up to the HYPE but I think you can look at the history of Paper Crane and you will see that there are a lot of hits. My point is that when we say something is great its our honest opinion and not part of the great hype machine.

If you saw the gimmick don't worry spectators wont see it they don't have video of the effect.

This looks really practical. We 'see' the gimmick because as magicians we expect it to be where we're looking, but it will be invisible in real performance (not video).

Critical to my purchase: I'm wondering if I can use this to 'pay' my assistants. In other words, can I give the bill away, is it free of any gaffing at the end?

Yes it can be immediately handed out it ends completely clean.

Mine! Order in.

Shaun is a friend of mine and I was lucky enough to witness this before he even filmed it.
He has really put a lot of work into this switch and he does perform almost every night. cinch is a very nice switch that is visual and nice to see in person. my favorite version is where you have the paper and each time you fold the paper the more saturated the bill becomes. and in the trailer it doesn't do all the justice it deserves, but in real life this fries people. my Girlfriend , though knows some magic, is still very much a layman and she LOVED this little switch! so if you can get it do it, because it is very easy and super fun when you show your friends. and just let your imagination take over on this one, because there are tons of changes possible with this!! I'm gonna pick mine up as soon as I can!

And I'm not giving him the review because hes a friend either. if I had no idea who this was and I saw it in person at a show. I would be saying the same thing. it is a very nice method for the change.

This looks great to me! When is it available and is it just a DVD or a download too?

Iain.

I like the look of this too. If (as I suspect) you're able to hand out out the changed bill automatically after the change then this IS a clever method!

What is the reset like? Is it something that can be done while walking to the next group?

Hope this will be available as a download too.

I'm tired of pre-ordering products directly from the USA only to find that my local dealers (in the UK) have it in stock way before I receive it.

AP.

Looks pretty cool!

Thought Papercrane might have responded to this?

Hope they do make this a download though!

AP.

I like the fade in version. Pretty Sweet!

The fade version looks like Switch/Illegally Yours (Lovick/Wilson) taught on Joshua Jay's Talk About Tricks dvds.

That fade in version is very magical and visual. I like it!

Reminds me of an effect with cards called "The New Limited Edition" which I purchased some time back.

This effect includes an actual "faded" card.

Yes and no. Tho reset is very quick and easy, you might need a moment or two behind the palm plants to get it ready again. About 15 seconds, I'd say, but you are fiddling with paper, so if you can do that in your closeup case or fanny pack or whatever, the answer would be yes.

This one is a Player. I'll use it to pay my assistants, and this is so easy, so convenient to carry, I'll use it 2-3 times during the show...once the instant way, the second time, with the kids helping, the fade in way, and the last time end with the Kaps change, (a handful of bills at a time), when the kids do the magic. I can spread this trick throughout the show. Nothing gets those kids riled up like free money!

I especially like the fact that this can be kept folded and ready. Which means that you can rig up as many as you need for the gig with no need to reset...they'll all fit nice and compact with little pocket space used up.

I also appreciate the included PDF's that allow you to print your own fade-in and amount-change 'bills'. This triples Cinch's use for me, as each time you do it for the same audience, there's a bit of visual change to it.

This is some of the best loot I've spent this year. Very practical.

Is this any different than the two-dollar bill change?
