What it is: You introduce four or five one dollar bills. You then put a small fold in the bills so
that the spectator can see the face and back of the bills at the same time. You then cause them to
change into change into hundreds (or fives, tens, twenties, fifties. Depending on how you make your
gimmick). You can now hand out the bills for examination.
Price: $35
The DVD:
The layout on the DVD is excellent.....almost. The chapters aren't cut exactly right, but close
enough. It could just be my computer, but by the clean-up section I pressed fast-forward and it
wouldn't stop until about two chapters later.
Teaching: The teaching on this DVD is very
good. The construction of the gimmick is taught by Steve making it. Just some comfortable music in
the background. Steve is a lefty, so the teaching is just a little awkward. The routine is taught
very, very well.
The Gimmick: The gimmick is just cool. It isn't too difficult to
construct. It will take about 15 minutes to make. You will need rubber cement before getting this.
Just like the preview says, there is no extra thickness.
Difficulty: Some of the changes
are a little hard but with practice will be a breeze.
The Wave: This is the one that Steve
does first thing in the preview. It's nice, but angle sensitive.
The Flutter: This is the
one in the preview that is done by a window. It's very pretty, easy to do, and completely
angle-proof.
The Jolt: I love this one. It reminds me of the Underground Change from
Extreme Burn. No cover whatsoever.
Overall: Packs flat, plays big. I love it.

I own every single handling of Pat Page's Easy Money ever shared with the magic community.
I received Handout 500 the other day, and this is THE BEST handling I've ever seen.
Even if you don't want to hand out all of the bills, the changes are more impressive than any
other variation out there. I used to be a big fan of Extreme Burn, but this is better.
I
wouldn't have any trouble recommending this to anyone.

This trick looks great. BUT. I do NOT think this is worth it. At all. I bought this when it first
came out and put so much time and effort into this trick, but in the end it wasn't worth it at all.
Everyone I have showed this to has figured it out, and Im not bad at performing it. It just is too
obvious. Extreme burn and Extreme Burn 2 have been great however **sold at Penguin** and I would
highly recommend getting that instead. Same price, better trick.

I have got so many great reactions with this effect and it is guaranteed to get those WTF!!!!
reactions the gimmick is kind of hard to make but it is well worth it to make it even though it will
take at least 2 hours the first time you make it but after that you'll be set to do it for a
lifetime (almost).

This a a great effect.I like Extreme Burn better because you can show the bills much more
freely....and..who in the World would be dumb enough to hand out 0.00!

I had gotten Hundy 500, (which is great) but never got a chance to put it together. I got this one,
and was glad I waited! This thing is AWESOME!
The only problem with the video explaination is
the music/text, rather than voice-over in the construction explaination, but all of his various
ditch methods are genious, and make up for it!
It is fun to practice, even though it requires
less practice than a lot of things.
It's one of those tricks that is so good that I want to lie
and say it is horrible so less people buy it, and are out there doing it... But I cannot tell a lie,
So, buy it!

Hand out 500 handling is simple, clever, practical and ingenious.

Sure, you can do this trick without palming; however, the trick looks best with the palming option.
I still think there are angle issues and you do have to be careful about thickness.
The
concept is great because you can hand out the $$$, but Extreme Burn is a better trick.
