I have assembled the gimmick necessary to effect this illusion: it follows the same procedure used
in a couple of different illusions I have recently purchased. I have tried, and tried, and tried to
get my massive production of dozens of paper bills to appear as they do in the video but can NOT!! I
am convinced that when these sales videos are made a huge amount of time goes into perfecting camera
angles. The gimmick you use cannot sufficiently conceal a wad of bills 1/2" to 3/4" thick. To
accomplish that feat you have to be mindful of many angles which makes the trick not very
spontaneous and not particularly good for close up work. I had fun making the gimmick, but the
overall effect is hard to achieve without a lot of preparation. Cheers

I saw Karl lecturing here in Denmark, he showed us this trick, and we were the first couple
magicians to see that and see how it was done before it was put on Penguin and all I want to say
that its amazing!
I have not bought it, but I know the method, and its amazing and very
clever.
The trick fooled me so badly, it even fooled a whole room magicians!
It
fooled us cause we didn't expect it to happen, I thought he was going to do extreme burn or
something, and then this, boom!
Its great! If you like how it looks on the trailer, then
buy it, the angles are amazing as well!

I love the effect. But at $20 (which honestly is kinda high for what it is), a few things to know
before you purchase it that the video doesn't seem to mention.
The gimmick isn't exactly
original and it'll cost about $6 additional to make,so be ready to hit a dollar store.
You
need BIG hands to get the most out of this effect. Mine are average size so I can't hide 50
individual bills like he implies doing up close. I can get maybe $20 so far before angles turn into
a problem.
You'll need to practice the handling A LOT if you're new to this sort of effect.
The "sleights" as we'll call them need some muscle memory if you want it to look good and not blow
your cover.
Last but not least, this is a good one to surprise people with if you're not up
for being inspected yet. If you use his presentation and tell them it's coming they'll be looking,
and I'm not ready for that. I've only done it once for an audience (so far), but I deliberately
ordered $6 of drinks and counted out 5 singles just like he did, acted exasperated for a moment, and
then turned it into about $15 without saying a word between reaching in my pocket and producing the
effect. Plenty enough to astound a barkeep that didn't see it coming.

This is definitely a worthwhile investment. I own Extreme Burn 2 which is similar, but different! I
had issues with EB2 that were not adequately covered in the instructions, particularly concerning
sight lines. RAIN MAKER answered my questions and solved my problems with EB2. I love the RM
presentation, and the instructions are perfect. Working the two effects together would be a great
idea. The price is well worth what you get.

Karl has a winner here. I saw Karl at GGG and was a spectator
at the Murphys lecture. Easy to
do.

The name suitable for this trick is MoneyMaker.
So simple, ready to perform 24x7, easy to carry,
instant performance. Everyone will shout "Wow" as the money multiplies. Tricks will be over within
10/15 seconds. They will never forget the trick and the performer.

It is a very simple idea, and very similar to other money magic routines, but I have no idea when I
would perform this. It can be very visual but to what purpose would I have all those ones.

This effect was worth the $$ i got it for no doubt
you will need to spend a few bucks to make
the gimmick .
This effect is akin to hundy500 and extreme burn, but a bit beefer.
Instructions are spot on and explain the subtlities of the handling.
This will take up a
good chunk of wallet space.
I don't see a great use for it in a street show. Bar routines
definitely ladies love this one. resets quick enough for tabble hoppers.
not my favorite money
trick but its dang good

Great money effect. However, if you are still in the young and stupid phase of your life (all of us
has that phase), choose your venue well. Even if you are using $1s or $5s there are people who will
roll you for the money you flash.
I know this from my restaurant work long ago. The money
magic was not as advanced as it is today, but changing a $1 to $100 got too much attention. I was
met in the parking lot, but a number of other people were going in my direction.
BTW-I
have many of the modern money tricks, including Karl's previous endeavor, I just haven't decided if
I want to buy this one yet.

Multiplying money with magic. Everyone wants to do it. This downloadable instruction is a
no-brainer! Easy, practical, and memorable! Buy it and start making it rain!
