Skullkracker DVD by Bob Sheets
-------------oOo------------  Disc Description: A TRAUMA INDUCING DENOMINATION TRANSMUTATION! The best way to KILL a spectator without going to Jail... Most skulls get cracked getting whacked from the OUTSIDE with immense force. Skullkracker is so visually stunning that it causes the spectator's brain to explode thus causing the skull to crack from the INSIDE! For decades Mike Koslowski's "One Hundred Dollar Bill Switch" was the standard way magicians changed a one dollar bill into a one hundred dollar bill. Those days are gone forever…no more thumbtips! Skullkracker is so revolutionary it will cause a paradigm shift in the way magicians view "the bill switch." Bob Sheets has perfected Skullkracker through thousands of performances. He has eliminated ALL of the issues normally associated with money tricks. Skullkracker is totally visual. The bill changes visibly WHILE the spectator's stare at it! Learning Skullkracker is dead easy. In fact, there are three handlings, one for every skill level. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, Bob will guide you through the learning process step by step with crystal clear instructions. As usual, the detail is staggering, but you'll learn much more than the method. Bob has included six different presentations for all types of situations. Bob has also included additional displays, and all of the hot tips that make Skullkracker practical. SKULLKRACKER IS THE MOST VISUAL TRICK SINCE ULTIMATE 3 FLY! * Skullkracker uses ordinary bills. No glue, cutting, or double-stick tape required * Skullkracker does NOT use a thumbtip * Skullkracker can be done with ALL United States currency * Skullkracker can be done with EUROS and most foreign currency * Skullkracker can be done with different SIZED currency * Skullkracker can be done with different COLOR currency * Skullkracker can be used to change a check into currency * Skullkracker can be used close-up, parlor or stage The possibilities are endless... WARNING: Improper use may cause spectator brain damage! --------------------------------------- During one of my recent Las Vegas trips I was fortunate enough to see master magician Bob Sheets demonstrate his latest masterpiece. I was chatting with producer/magician Bob kohler in the hall when Bob Sheets walks up and says; "Want to see something cool?" "Sure" says I. Bob then proceeds to show us SKULLKRACKER - to say I was impressed would be an understatement. It was quick, it was visual and it was very clean looking. The best part? No thumb tip required. Frankly, this new bill switch is just a beautiful thing. Over the years there have been a slew of ideas and handlings for tricks which make use of paper currency. Some good, some great and some not even worth mentioning. In my opinion the SKULLKRACKER effect is so extremely strong and visual that it is arguably one of the best non-gaffed and easy to perform versions of the bill switch to date - and that's saying something considering the competition. 
When you purchase SKULLKRACKER, you receive a professionally shot DVD produced by Bob Kohler. Like all of Bob's offerings, the quality is top notch. The audio here is good and the video is shot in High Definition Widescreen format - what a treat. The disc itself is divided as follows: (DVD Chapters & Contents)
The ad copy is very accurate, though I can't confirm whether or not I've actually seen a spectator's skull crack from the inside during a performance...perhaps I should pay more attention? 
In any case, Bob Sheets does an excellent job of both demonstrating various ways that this particular handling can be presented and then teaching you step-by-step everything you need to know in order to make this effect successful for you and your performances - nothing is left out. Do you need to prepare the bill being used? Yes, but its not what you think and the bill is NOT gaffed in any way...I love it! Finally, I can't think of anything else to add except that I think this will play well for anyone who does this type of magic and I do not hesitate to give this my highest recommendation.
