Use your head a little and you can figure this out. I purchased it thinking maybe he had come up
with a neat little gimmick that could be used other ways as well, NOPE, this is done exactly how I
initially thought. Shame on penguin for selling a piece of crap like this. This is the type of
trick you give away free to entice people to the site, not something you send an e-mail blast about
and charge for. Don't waste your money folks, garbage,

Hard to believe there's only one review of this, seeing that it's been sitting atop the charts since
it was released. This is a very simple trick, and it's actually a balance not a levitation. It's
amost too simple. My six year old figured it out immediately which might mean I suck, but more
likely means it's easy to decipher. It was an okay buy at the CoolBox price, I'd have felt ripped
off at full price, and is probably worth about the price of a cup of coffee. Can't really see anyone
falling for this, but maybe I'm just jaded.

Regret to say the most disappointing purchase from Penguin in all the years I have been doing so!
From the description given, no thread etc, I was expecting something pretty amazing, especially
for the price. I had immediately thought, well if not thread, then it cant be anything like b---
---k and then was amazed that that was exactly what it was!!! Very disappointing.

I assumed it wouldn't be the obvious method because people would assume that first. If it wasn't
that method that I had no idea, unfortunately it's exactly what it looks like. I was disappointed. I
showed it to my wife and she immediately said the method. I would pass on this - sorry!

Hello from Mr Johnny Magic. I got the download but wasn't real pleased with it . bill doesn't
always fall like it should. Felt kinda suckered in by the good writeup on your site. I know the
name od the game is to make the almighty green Johnny

The method is simple and by no means technically difficult. This will fool laymen and magicians
especially if done with a borrowed bill in an off the cuff moment. I will have this effect in my
back pocket for the right moment in a bar or with friends. I wear glasses which is a plus. :)
I can't give it five stars because the method for making the bill drop on command is less
magical in performance than the video advertisement portrays it. Additionally how it works is
exactly what an average person might first suspect, but that suspicion is canceled when the effect
is over and everything is examined. The method flies and it's a decent amount of magic for little
work, preparation, and money. Glad to know it.

Well, it says that it falls on your command every time but it isn't always every time. This requires
very good timing and a very small gimmick. It is pretty easy to do and it can be done by other
things besides a bill. Overall I regret this purchase a little but I can still use it! Overall 4/5

This one does not require IT, but it does require something extra.
That something extra could be
finicky to carry with you - but that is more of a personal preference.
If you want a
balancing trick, see Tensegrity in PH's AOA, Joshua Jay's Penguin 2 lecture, or Rick Lax's Vertigo.
If you want to balance a bill, try this, but it is a bit underwhelming.
DC did a
similar trick for Lee Hawkins on TV, and that is more fun.

So this trick looks awesome. The reaction when the bill is suspended is definitely worth the price
of the download. The secret is very clever and I was able to make the necessary supplies in seconds
after seeing the explanation. I tried it out today, flipping between the standard table handling and
placing it on 2 bottles and taking one away (levitating human style). It definitely shocks the
audience but they can get suspicious fast. Be careful trying this on friends or grabby children, for
they might reach for the bill mid-suspension (this can be easily avoided), requiring a quick save
and clean-up. Also, the levitation of the bill is extremely easy to do but causing it to fall on
command will take some time and practice to master. The look on their faces when you give them back
THEIR normal bill makes it all worth the effort. Overall, I do recommend buying this as the trick is
clever, requires next-to-no pocket space and is clearly taught in detail. In some cases, a little
audience management might be needed but Anti-Gravity will definitely be in my arsenal and in my
pocket for the months to come.

This is a great effect. The method is incredibly simple. The presentation isn't complex. The gimmick
is absolutely tiny, so lighting, and angles aren't a problem at all. There is a slight set up and
clean up but until real anti-gravity is invented this is as simple and easy as it gets.
The
video is only 8 minutes long, it covers the basics but the method is so simple that it doesn't
really need much more explaination time than that.
