I lucked out and saw this a year ago. Instantly loved it. Obviously, the thing that makes this change so awesome is that after the change happens, you can show both sides of the bill. But there are other plusses:

1) It's so much better for stage than the standard thumb tip bill transportation because from far away, a $1 and a $100 look pretty damn similar. But a regular bill looks VERY different from a Monopoly bill or coupon. This opens up lots of doors for you.

2) You don't need a thumb tip AND the change is super visual.

Seriously, between this and Bizzaro's Bill Breaker, nobody should be performing the classic/thumb tip bill transpo any more. This are both massive steps in the right direction.

And, yeah, less than $10. What more do you want?

This is a NICE and cheap bill change. They give you everything in the download except the craft tools and real dollar bill so you don't need to go out and buy some monopoly money to make this. It's not hard to make and the change is excellent. I've always been a fan of Monopoly money for magic. It's a fun past time we recognize and changing the fake money into real money is a natural progression.

One of my favorite effect with a monopoly dollar is "MisMade Monopoly" by Sankey. It's a mismade bill but with monopoly money that's easy to make at home. You can find it in his excellent book set but it's also on Sankey's Best Magic w/Ordinary Objects by Jay Sankey.

That would be a great follow up to this effect if someone says "Hey can you show my friend that trick where you changed a monopoly dollar into a real dollar?!"

For a few dollars... It's well worth the investment. Awesome job Nick!

What can I say, this young man took the bill change to the next level and yes with this you could hand the bill out for examination not hard to figure out how to end clean that's why he did not go into details. Let me say that one more time. You can easily come up with a way to end clean and hand the bill out for examination or to give the bill away . Clever young man indeed:)

this effect is fantastic! i am a performer from Australia and here down under our money is coated with a plastic making it diffiult to keep folded ect. the way this effect is routined solved that issue for me and i was able to make it up easily in like 5 minutes! its a great bill switch that is different from other methods used in the past and has many, many great possibilities! :)

I have been looking for a great money change effect you can actually hand out at the end for examination or spending. This one meets the criteria. It's relatively easy to make, and by the simple substitution of double-sided tape instead of glue at the last part, you are able to ditch the gimmick and hand out the bill. No need to switch the bill like other methods out there!

You receive the PDFs needed to make the coupon, ATM receipt, and of course the Monopoly $1 or $100 bills. That lets you play around with it, but it should be noted you can do this will actual Monopoly money so you can use any currency you want. A little angle-specific in that you can't do it surrounded, but you can have a crowd around and not have a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth learning.

This effect looks great but there are serious problems with it.

1. I am an excellent gimmick maker but for most people as said in previous reviews, I can see it being extremely challenging because the instructions are not as detailed or slow as they should be. I even had to continue to rewind and recheck the positioning numerous times.

2. Its very angle sensitive and don't see someone doing this in person unless you are straight on performing for only one person.

3. The biggest problem with this trick is the knackiness of the move. It lacks detailed explanation because there is nothing further to explain. Nick even states "Its hard to explain" and then moves on.

I can see points 1 & 3 being huge problems for pretty much everyone. I believe a massive majority of the positive reviews are from people that didn't perform the trick.

Unless you're willing to put in more hours then you could ever imagine for constructing and performing this trick, I suggest you DO NOT BUY!

I have only just watched this and to be honest the visuals on this are the best! The only bad thing is that this is not going to be permanently $4.95! get this now.

The visual change is stellar. Very fluid and will blow people away. However. This trick will cost you. He states to make the gimmick, you need to copy part of a bill, but I have tried 3 scanner/printers and none of them would copy even part of the bill due to security reasons. I am probably now on some gov list somewhere because I tried several times to make it work. It wouldn't and said it is prohibited, so in order to make the gimmick it will cost you two bills, so I suggest making this out of $1 bills. Another downside, it is angle specific and the spectator needs to be more in front of you than to the side. Last but not least, you definitely cannot hand out the bill afterwards. So the description is a little misleading, it leads you to believe you can make play money turn into real money and pay the clerk with it. This is not the case. Other than those mentioned above, it is a great trick. I recommend it.

Nice plus some extras as pdfs

After I sent in my review I read the other reviews.
The consensus seems to be that I was wrong-- it's a great trick and the bill could be handed out by [edited to protect secret]

I'm an amature with limited abilities (notice the name), so I wrote my review from that viewpoint.
Apologies to Mr. Diffatte.
