He should have kept his political views to himself. They were not relevant and rather snide.

Do we really need to know that many methods for a bill switch?
it's like a book on the various methods of double lifts

No maybe you don't need all that, there is no book in the world that you would use everything in it. You take what suits YOU. If you take on good thin in a magic book these days, it's a good book. In this book the number of things that you can add in your repertoire is amazingly high.
I got the book yesterday and do yourself a favor, take a 20$ bill, switch it for a 100$, go buy the book and pay yourself a nice pizza with the money left and start reading. You won't regret it.
Tricks aren't important...people are!!!

I should have mine tomorrow.

I have been waiting for this book ever since Roger Klause told me about it 3 or 4 years ago. I know it is going to be very good and worth every penny.

I now have the book and it is very good! Of course have not read the whole book as of yet am digesting it slowly and enjoying every moment of it!

If you have never done the bill switch (But want to) buy this book. If you do the switch buy this book. There is much to offer either type of person.

Jamy Ian Swiss in the introduction says something like this maynot be the difinitive book on the switch. That maybe it isn't but it certainly is a very good start if it isn't

I wish I could say stay away from this book as you won't find anything of value in it. I want to say that for selfish reasons but can't.

It is not in there. But there are some versions closer to the original U.F. Grant Slow Motion Transpo in the book. Some of the problems with the newer U.S. bills in regard to the Slow Motion effect are addresed in there too I believe.

If you look at the ad copy you will see that there is something in this book for everyone...all over the world. There are over a dozen different techniques and over 70 different routines. Some of the techniques and routines work BETTER with different sized/colored bills and some work better with money of similar size/color.

Does the book also covers bill transposition trick (something like "Atomic Bill")?
Thanks.

I got the book yesterday, and I have quickly read it back and forth a few times.

I have tried the basic effects ($1 bill to $100 bill) with swedish currency (20 crown bill to 100 crown bill), and it works beautifully.

I don't think there will be any problems with UK bills PapaG.

Jeff, there is a chapter named Transposition Routines:
The Name is the Same - Roger Klause
Cards and Cash - Doc Dixon
To Catch a Thief - Steve Silverman
Changeling - David Harkey
Things Change - John Lovick

This book will surley keep me busy for a while.

Is there a list of the methods/authors included in the book?

I am interested in Leirpoll's, Grandpa's/Cheverie, Choose's/bar bill, Ammar's bill switch.

If I can get them in one book, great; else I will look at individual purchases.

Thanks
John

Leirpoll's full switch is not included; however there is some advice from him, and the appendix mentions how his switch differs from other switches in the book.

Cheverie's switch is not included, but Juan Pablo Ibanez's switch is (Grandpa's bill is based on that).

I don't have the book with me right now, so I'm not sure if the other two are included, but they both have contributions in the book.

For everybody that doesn't have it, it's an amazing book with some good tips and full routines beyond turning a $1 bill to a $100 bill (or Euro, etc).
