There will probably not be a video demo anytime soon becaue magicians are bound to guess the method if it is seen online. That being said it certainly is visual and should be great for certain performance environments. It will not fool magicians though. I think the angles a decent (though not fantastic). I liked the idea of a transpo more so than a traditional bill switch (Annemann's seems cleaner to me). The card trick is nothing special (in my humble opinion). Best part of the switch is the instant transformation.

Doing a bill switch without a TT always leads me to Jarle Leirpolls handling which to me looks like real magic.. (forgetting for a moment Lonnie Chevries method, which needs much more preparation, though *looking-wise* is great) What I so am after, is anything that looks more then real magic -even better then Jarle Leirpolls, well knowing that is impossible to achieve, but one never knows, therefor the interest re *the look* of it- and that is my goal in searching for demo vids
IMHO, anybody NOT putting up a demo vid (having an outstandingly deceptive handling) has something to hide and in most cases this is because *the look* of that 'trick' isn't as good as the add. My remark is general and has nothing to do with that specific routine we are talking about, but I stick to my opinion in general, re NOT making demo-vids available, and this goes especially for these situations where DVDs already are existing, so making a snip available isn't that big a task..

Werner, you're not the typical magic purchaser. My guess is that, for ethical reasons, even if you figured out how something worked, you'd purchase if you thought you could use it.

Well, here's some things to ponder. First of all, it's put out by Bob Kohler. Anybody that has any DVD's produced by Bob knows how good they are ( Chris Korn, Scott Alexander and Dan Watkins DVD's for example ).
It's only $19.00. That's a SUPER bargain. You get several applications including billet work for mentalism. and...order from Bob and shipping is free.

Oh...and anyone can order direct from Fred ( always helps to support the creator )
at http://www.fredmagic.com Same price, same free shipping. I think Murphy's is probably distributing, so you can check your favorite dealer if you choose to go that route.

I DO however buy *lots* of DVDs just for the pleasure of seing 'good' performances.. The intention very seldom is to do or learn the routine..one simply can't learn it all, but it is fun to see good magic..and, IF I f.ex. se a demo of a bill-switch or anything else that *looks* good, I do buy the DVD to get the thoughts behind it...even if I not even intend to do it..TBH, I don't even 'do' any bill switch at all (yet)... My current collection of purchased DVDs? 120 currently...not to mention all the VHS-tapes... How many of the routines therefrom I do? Can be counted on the fingers of one hand and that is not because the routines on those captures are not worth to do.... I'm just a lover of good magic..and I especially love to watch it performed...

I bought the leirpoll video when it came out. He has a nice bill switch. Heck, all the popular bill switches are good. I like Changeabill beacuse it's dramatic. You fold there bill into quarters, hold it up for them to see and BAM it changes.

I'm waiting for the bill switch where there is no folding. We borrow a bill, wave it and it's another denomination.
Best, Al |

Evolve629 I think you're going love this. Watch the performance first. It's always more fun that way.
Fred has a wonderful, relaxed teaching style. You get the feeling he's talking to you alone and really cares that you undertsand what he's doing. Posted: Nov 20, 2005 11:55am UPDATE: I have now used this in performance and it plays better than I hoped. I haven't received my custom bills yet, so I used the million dollar bill. The visual change is dramatic adn out of 5 tables, only one asked for their dollar back. Fred has come up with a real winner!!!!!

I'm very happy with Fred's technique. This dvd is worth every penny and I'm pleased that I purchased it. I found a website where you can order either 100 of the Million or Billion Dollar Bills for only $25. Click here. I figure it's much cheaper than the custom bills suggested. I just have to stamp my business info. onto the Million Dollar Bills and still achieve the same marketing result.

Will this method work with plastic-type bills found in some countries? If yes, does it look as good with these bills? Is it more difficult with these bills? Unfortunately many of the better methods rely on the ability to make nice crisp folds, which are simply not possible with the plastic currency.

No, because this method rely on the ability to make nice crisp folds, which are simply not possible with the plastic currency. I know because I've tried it. |
