Not sure if its just me, but the bill seems a little too stiff on the disappearance (the part of the bill he is holding on to is stiff where the rest of the bill falls as a normal bill would). I think a spectator would notice the same thing and know there is something up.. maybe its just me.

Chatelain is amazing, they should give him an honorary degree in engineering.

I agree, though that moment is quick in the routine. The reappearance of the card seems to be enough misdirection to presumably palm off the gimmick and end clean.

Ok so you palm off the gimmick and ok there's misdirection because of the appearing card! But at this point the focus has already been on the bill! Sorry for my English, I don't like it but that's just my opinion! 😳 |

He takes out the card from the box in a very odd and suspicious manner.. On the video you can clearly see the gimmick not being completely aligned with the dollar bill. OF course the human eye may not see that, but you will have to turn over the bill very quickly and hope that the spectators will turn away to see the reappearance of the card so you can steal away the gimmick.

In this case, the note is abnormally stiff and something doesn't look right about the final display. This will definitely be picked up on by anyone viewing this. I'm sure the gimmick is very clever though and would make a nice magician's toy. |

I think that potentially if the final display was done horizontally it may look a bit more natural and alleviate those concerns

I thought the same, except with Business Trip you have to use your own bill since it's the bill that's gimmicked. With Bluff you can borrow a bill since apparently it's the playing card that's gimmicked.

I'm surprised the Mickael did not do this but just make the gimmick with a bulge in it as opposed to being flat, that will make it look less rigid.

So to anyone who's had a chance to play around with this product, what do you think? How would you rate it? Is there a gimmick included? And how much DIY is involved?
