Mine arrived just this morning from the WMS in the UK....
I love it! The effect is very simple, very clean and very visual - what more could you ask for? The gimmick will take about 5 miniutes (maximum) to make and then you are genuinely good to go. There is enough materials enclosed to make around 4 gimmicks so this gives you the opportunity to make different gimmicks as you choose. The DVD is excellent - clear, concise and detailed explanations of the set up and handling which in truth is very easy and simple and some really good performance hints and tips from Justin along with some great bonus materials. This is a real worker! You can carry it in your wallet and perform it impromptu. Easy to perform, virtually instant reset and the magic happens in the spectators hands. Hence, great for table hopping or in the street. I am both very impressed and very happy with the purchase. Due to its simplicity, ease of performance and visual impact in the hands of the spectator for what its worth I give it a 10/10.

No, the gimmick is for keeps. It will literally never wear out and last a life time.

I have just been thinking....
You could very easily ask another spectator to hold the wallet for you as you place the bills into the first spectators hand and work the patter. Then take back the wallet and do the deed. The upside of this being that another spectator is involved in the routine and also it will massively take any heat off the wallet as the 2nd spectator was holding it literally 1 second before the magic happened! Winner, winner chicken dinner!

Sounds great, thanks for the quick review.
I think everyone is worrying about the wallet way too much. It doesn't bother me at all. |

I just finished watching the DVD and I, for one, am thoroughly impressed.
There are so many different changes, both gimmicked and ungimmicked on this DVD that you should find one to your liking. The reset is super fast on all of them. The gimmicked version is a one-time set up which should only take a couple of minutes. I'll be making up my gimmick this afternoon to start practicing. Highly recommended! |

Thanks for the reviews guys - will order this . Out of the three new Paul Harris Presents releases, this one clearly looks to be the best. As for the other two, I'm still waiting for reviews.

Just finished watching the DVD (which is something like 1 hour and 45 minutes long) and examining the kit. So many ideas are covered, including the gimmicked version (which looks great) and some ungimmicked versions, a credit card to cash effect, and an interesting card trick that involves a bill traveling through the pack and finding a chosen card.
The method is simple, and you get everything you need to make up the gimmick if you own a black wallet (except for four $100 bills - they must have been inadvertently left out of my DVD box). If you don't have a black wallet, Justin gives a tip on how to make this up for your Hello Kitty wallet, or whatever you're carrying. It's nice to see an idea that has all of the bugs worked out of it prior to release, and includes so many worthwhile alternate handlings. Definitely going to make this up and give it a go as an alternate to EB2. Well done.
Now appearing nightly in my basement.

Very impressed with this. This is something all workers will use. 5 mins preparation and after a little practice(not much if you perform regularly) you are good to go.
This has been well thought out and obviously fully tested in the real world. 'Freedom Pack' was jaw droppingly good and so is this. Even without the gimmicked version, the many changes explained in the impromtu routines are well worth the asking price and you also get 'Kerching' and the' bill wrapped around the card' effect. These routines are easy to do, but the effect on a lay audience will be shocking. This is the type of material you want when you are hired for 1.5 to 2 hours and you have to get around everyone and show really memorable strong stuff. No fuss just straight to the point. Excellent work Justin. I predict that you will sell a lot of these. Mike Donoghue |

Received this today and I've just started watching the DVD. My first impression is that this will be very easy to do with US currency as their bills are all the same colour. Canadian currency may be more of a challenge. Still possible, but will require extra care with the handling and much more practice to avoid flashing the different colours. I'll have to make up some gimmicks and see how it looks in a mirror and maybe give it a test run in the real world. Otherwise I'll just use US currency.

Ordered mine from Justin's site last Wednesday. Don’t know if I ordered a "signed" one, but I'm not really concerned about that. All I know is that I ordered the Freedom Pack and Chrysalis a week and a half before that and have been blown away by those two! And now First Hand... I'm just overdosing on Justin Miller magic this spring!!
BTW, I use Extreme Burn 2 regularly and I don’t see any problem at all in using both of these. Not together of course but it will be nice to be able to switch off between the two. With an occasional Cinch bill change thrown in for good measure! Gives me a nice, compact group of paper money routines to work with. Justin, keep those brain juices fired up man! You're on a heck of a roll IMO. Take care. Jim |

Hi Mike,
I am changing lottery tickets into £10 notes (the lowest and by far the most popular lottery win in the UK for getting 3 numbers from the available 6 numbers). Its great because you immediately transform worthless pieces of paper (the lottery tickets) into real cash in the spectators hands! I am formulating a patter which asks the spectator to pick 3 numbers between 1 and 49 (the lottery spead) at random then change their 'winning tickets' into cold hard cash right in their hand at that precise moment in time. This also works well as the lottery tickets give you great cover for the stack of £10 bills underneath. I have also experimented doing the switch without the rubber bands and think that it is more than possible. I intend to try this on a couple of buddies who are magicians and see if it flys. I'll let you know...

Mike,
I crop the lottery tickets to make them smaller and more easier to handle as well being similar in size to £10 note. I am fairly sure no one will even notice!
