Yes Eric this is very easy to perform I'm sure with a nit of practice you should not have any problem. Definitely worth it if you don't mind the price.

Happy to see this getting rave reviews! Personally I hope this starts an arms race to up the amount of cash in these bill change routines!

Jim originally stated it would only be available through him, but now Penguin has it.
So probably not

Thank you Jared and Kenco for your input. I will be purchasing the effect in the near future. Stay well.

Oh Wow! What a great bill effect. Bam! This has to be the easiest, most practical self working bill effect ever. Highly recommended!

Currently only myself and Penguin Magic are selling this. The good reviews are starting to roll in. I can't wait to see videos of people performing it.
The only real complaint I've had from folks is the $10,000 gold paper band breaking from going in and out of one's pocket with the effect. I do teach how to remedy this problem in the video tutorials. Also the gold $10,000 bands are free at any bank. It's an easy fix. |

Here is Rick Wilcox performing TGP. He has added a one to the back of the stack to do a hundred dollar bill change. Rick also added a real one to the top of the stack and chose to alter the wrap around band color. I love seeing the mods being done to this. https://youtu.be/bGbJdZLl_lY

This is an absolute SCREAM. Just ordered. Thanks, Jim!

Rick did an absolutely wonderful job. I enjoyed the banter back and forth with him and his wife that was great. This is a wonderful effect.
Good magic to all, Eric |

I know my opinion will not be a popular one but I’m not happy with mine.
I got it through Hocus-Pocus and I assume it’s the real thing but... The gimmick top bill looks really bad. For some really odd reason the one dollar part that sits on top is faded really bad and looks really fake as the face of the President looks like it has almost no ink while all the one dollar bill faces in the stack look great and the ink is perfect on them. Also when I opened mine it looked like the black material from the holder it was sent in was fuzz like and stuck to the sides of the gimmick. I could see how this could be great and it’s possible that it was just a bad bill that for some odd reason was chosen to make the top bill gimmick with but in the form I received mine in its sadly going in the drawer. Has anyone else bought this from Hocus-Pocus? I hope quality didn’t go down since Jim started selling more of these. I would assume mine is the unfortunate exception as most reviews are positive but based on the one I got I wouldn’t even be able to give it past 2 stars out of five. |

I wanted to make sure mine was just the exception.
I will contact them I know they’d make it right. Paul and Max are great guys. I think posting here and contacting Hocus-Pocus are both good ideas, I was also hoping Diamond Jim might give some insight on what may have happened. Did he have people helping put those together now? I honestly don’t think he would have made the top bill gimmick with such faded bills but who knows? |

I don't think Marvelous is wrong.
Since I've had plenty of time to play with it, I've noticed several minor things. I'm a fusspot, and I don't care about any of them. Nobody will notice. Chessmann, videoman, pull out a single and hold it next to the top single. Isn't George a little lighter? And is that really George? Who is looking at it close enough to notice? Only the owner. It's a non issue to me. PS- There's a way to move both bands over to the center of the stack if you think that it matters, which will cover George's face up and reveal more of Ben's face, or, as in my case, you want to riffle through both sides more evenly.

Marvelous, I bought directly from DJT and it's perfect, thankfully without the issues you mentioned. Yep, contact HP, they are always helpful and fair.

I absolutely agree Hocus Pocus has always taken care of any issue I've ever had with anything I bought from them. Keep in mind they do not manufacture these they simply are an outlet to sell different props created by different people. I don't say that in a condescending way I mean it in a helpful way. They want customer satisfaction I had an issue with a product a while back the mental Bell and they took care of it and sent me another one. There is one thing I would like to point out and that is because of counterfeit laws they can only make these look so realistic that is why I've heard it recommended that a real Bill be used and then maybe removed just before the dirty work is done. But I know they will take care of any customer complaints they are really good people especially Paul and Max.
Good magic to all, Eric |

Well I guess that I have a defective unit also.
I didn't consider it defective until now, though. I thought they were all made that way.

There is nothing defective. They all came from the same batch and I put them together myself. Is it possible that a faded bill slipped past me? Yes. But I hand craft every unit. Marvelous, why didn't you contact me directly? My name and website are all over the packaging? I'd love to see a pic of what you are talking about. You can contact me through my website at www.djtyler.com
