Hi Everyone,

Did some digging and couldn't find any forums on this - my apologies if this is a duplicate post.

With Canada having all plastic denominations (with clear sections), I am looking for a beautiful bill change. I used Extreme Burn and loved it, but unfortunately it does not work with the new Canadian bills Smile.

Any ideas?

I've tried and tried, but I've given up on pretty well all paper money effects with the polymer bills here in Canada. I do Sankey's Fan Mail, and am playing with some other ideas like mismade monopoly money. I still do Paul Cummins' Top Billing, but I find that anything requiring the folding or scrunching up of bills is simply not practical.

I use Changeling to do a Canadian plastic $5 bill to a US $1 bill

Why does it not work with Canadian bills? What trouble are you having?
I am setting up a gimmick now with 5s and 20s and the windows line up perfectly.
The difficult part I find is that the folds must be worked in...well worked in.
The slickness of polymer bills requires more attention on the handling but the clear windows adds to the illusion.

Initially I was very apprehensive about the new polymer bills. However I absolutely luv them now.

I do the $100 bill switch every show & it took a bit of work to alter the handling a bit. But having done that, I much much prefer the new bills over the old paper one's.

As for Bill to Lemon they are absolutely a Godsend as they do not absorb juice and hold their form beautifully when doing the secret move Smile

Any recommendations of the best way to work the folds in?
