This is the question we get when any updated trick, why do we need it? There are lots of bill
switches out there so why do we need this one? Well alot of the times a new trick comes out that may
be a different or "New" method, but it does nothing to enhance the trick or make it better.
Different does not equal better. Shaun Robison has taken the old TT bill switch and made it into an
impossible looking switch. This isnt just a switch, but a transformation. When i first saw this in
person i said to myself, "wow, this is great, it looks fantastic, super clean and very practical".
Then i said out loud, "When can i get this!" Shaun performs almost every night out of the week and
he does this trick all the time. When he does a trick it needs to be simple, visual and needs to
really work in the real world. Shaun includes some awesome variations using the method that are
really a joy to watch! This is a great opener, or another option for any switch! I cannot say enough
about this and how excited i am to see this being released! The ratings say it all! So pick this up
(Christmas is coming soon)!

I am very happy with this product. I found the video performances and instructions well done and
easy to follow and understand.
The effect itself is really powerful. I can tell from the
looks on the spectator's faces. They are blown away when I am hand the bill to them.
The
method can be used so many ways in so many different presentations. You can use it as an opener and
then go directly into any other effect. You can use it as a 'middler' to provide a very startling
transformation. It can be used as an ending to a money related routine. The effect can also stand on
its own as, what I call, your "Elevator Effect" (that one effect that you could do in 30 seconds of
less, at a moments notice, that can show instead of tell a potential client what you can do)
The effect is relatively easy to perform. There are no difficult sleights to master. Just one or
two days of steady and repeated practice (in front of a mirror and camera) in order to establish the
muscle memory.
I was however disappointed with the fact that the statement, "We include
everything you need to perform ...", is somewhat misleading. There are at least two items you need
to get on your own before you can start practicing ... one of course being the resulting bill
itself.
I would like to make one important suggestion to those who will be performing this
effect in public. Go purchase additional gimmicks. You may understand why during practice. They are
very inexpensive and can be easily found.
I hope you like it as much as I do.

I previously placed a review based on the fact that i did not receive any gaffs with my dvd.I
contacted penguin and within 2 days they have sent gaffs via fed ex to Australia.The trick as
discussed is brilliant and i believe will get great reactions in both street and walk around
magic.Thanks penguin for your prompt service.Looking forward to using it!

Okay, dont get me wrong I love this effect it is EXTREMELY POWERFUL and you can master in about a
day. The only problem I have is the gimmick. Ill try not to give too much away but it is EXTREMELY
SMALL. I have ALMOST lost before. I still rate this 5 stars because there is an easy solution all
you have to do is keep it well cared for and properly stored. ADD TO CART NOW!!!!

This trick lives up to its name. It is a little gem. I do a lot of other kinds of bill
switches--the 0 bill switch, Extreme Burn, and the mismake dollar. This little masterpiece will be a
regular part of my routine. It gets fantastic reactions, is easy to learn and the teaching on the
DVD is clear, sharp and to the point.
My only complaint is that the little gimmick which
comes with it is so tiny that it is easy to lose. It would have been nice if Shaun provided some
information as to where it can be replaced.
The actual trick is ideal both for beginners and
for seasoned performers. I would recommend it without reservations.
If you do any kind of
money magic it is a must have.

It's so much fun to be able to perform an impromptu trick using a common, everyday object and what's
more common than money?
I always have the Mismade Bill and Extreme Burn with me and now
I'll carry Cinch as well.
One excellent illusion!

This trick is good but you get asked to many times what is in your hand and that basically screws up
the trick
