I'm sure some people will be disappointed that this isn't "the next big thing" in bill changes, but
I think it's one of the easiest and most direct. I've used Hundy 500 and Extreme Burn for years, but
I'm tired of lugging around $600+ in my pocket. Change a $1 to $100 with Bill Breaker, then change
it back in a flash. Now it's reset for the next group. With proper routining, the impact is just as
strong! I'm not a fan of the actual "Bill Breaker" routine with the four dollar bills. Magicians may
like the novelty but why would the audience care? If you're really a wonder worker, you could MAKE
money, not break it! Worth the $20 just for the gimmick and handling. Not a new idea, but an
improvement on its use that is a stunner for laypeople and something that I immediately put into my
act.

The gimick is easy to make and works like a dream. Can be done anytime and anywhere. Just carry it
in your wallet and you are ready to perform...especially good for that - "Do a trick" moment.
Anyone can work the gimick easily. Has great impact. Thank You Bizzaro.

I really like this version of doing a bill switch, its simple direct; visual in your face magic that
packs a wallop. It packs small you carry with you for anytime, anywhere it really has everything
going for it. You can learn this and master it in minutes. I have played with different bill
switches for years I’ve got to say this is probably the best version. The only down side to this
version if you do a standard bill switch is you can’t barrow a bill from someone, if that is
important to your presentation then I would stick to the old method, otherwise I think you’ll be
pretty happy with this version. In addition to mentioning that I was able to perform the second
method where you change a 5 dollar bill into 5 singles. At a store where they had a sign at the cash
register that said “Need Singles” just pull out the 5 do the switch the singles drop on the counter
and say will that work for you? All I can say is her reaction in its self was worth the price of the
DVD.

This effect is very simple and will take very little practice to master. I already have several
bill-effects (Greed, by Daniel Garcia and Devlin Dollar---as well as the standard bill-switch).
This one is worth adding to my routines, but I will probably use it less often than my other
bill-effects----mainly because the magic is over before you know it. I like my effects to have more
of a 'building-up' feel to them, personally. If you're looking for something fast, visual, and
cheap----then this is a good buy. It is also a simpler method than the Devlin Dollar---but both are
worth checking out.

SInce I first started looking at Penguin my eyes have been on this trick. Recently it was placed in
Coolbox, so I purchased it. Let me say, I'm a bit disappointed. Firstly, it was not new at all.
This gimmick has been used with cards, bills, and tons of other things before. It is also not
clean, and the construction is a pain in the butt. However, when you finally get it put together
correctly, and everything is ready it really does look nice. So I'll call this three stars.

Yes, this is based on existing methods like Extreme Burn, Prophet, etc. but it's still a great trick
if you don't mind a fast trick.
Otherwise, as someone beginning to get into magic and bill
magic, I love the simplicity, speed, and ease of this trick.

I love the reaction I get, but I'm running out of store clerks, waitress and bartenders to pull it
on. Just made my forth gimmick (I have three variations) and here are some tips. My first two
gimmicks came apart (that was OK as I made them left handed, watch your orientation). Take some
alcohol (gin works great)and lightly clean off the oil from the bills being handled (definitely use
glue stick and I do put in wires). I have a variation using a $1,000,000 bill, I photo shopped a
$100 but all computer scanners and software will not let you do anything with real bills so I got
around this by scanning and photo shopping one forth of the bill at a time. I use tiny magnets in
the bills when making change as they keep them together and they are lost easily but cheep if you
buy them by the dozen. As with any good trick, take the idea and make it your own variation. This
one gets 6 stars.
Great Randini

This solves the problem of the bulky stack of bills that mars the other bill changes in my
experience.
I love this effect.

The commercial for this gaff looks pretty good, but when you get the DVD/Download, it's a bit
disappointing. No matter how you construct the gaff, it's bulky to use. I've used it a lot and
always get a mix of reactions from adults who just cannot believe it - all the way to precocious 11
year old kids who have it all figured out. It's one of those "flash in the pan" kinds of tricks, but
nothing noteworthy.
