Personally I've seen similar effects that work a lot better. The method taught doesn't work nearly
as well as it does in the demo. Really disappointed with this

What a waste of time. I wish there was a 0 rating. Decent trick Dalton, but a really poor video.
You mentioned you could use a Soda Can if you didn't have shim stock. The last time I checked, a
Soda Can is aluminum. Video was really shoddy. I don't know if that was your normal personality,
but I thought you were on speed or something else. Look into the camera dude, not off to the side.
I know it is knit picking, but your final statement on the video, about criticism, the
final "to" should be "too".
Best of luck, you got me this time, but last video of yours I
will purchase.

Fraud by Daniel Garcia is much better if you are going to the trouble of making a gaff of this type.
I though still prefer the NightShades routine/effect in Art of Astonishment by Paul Harris
since no printer is needed to make the gaff.
For this routine, the gaff is too big for my
comfort level and the card reveal is limited to what you make.

The amount of work and effort to construct the gimmick far outweighs the effect. Wish I had waited
for the reviews to come in on this :(

...but no matter how dark I make the bill, it's never quite as good as advertised. Improved files
could make this an absolute mainstay, and I love the effect, but so far, I've been unsuccessful in
making a performance worthy gimmick. The effect itself is great- the score is strictly based (for me
anyway) on practicality.

Well to start with, it does not work as explained. I talked to Penguin about it and they told me
first you have to erase the area that you are trying to print on. you have to remove the ink. What I
did was took a playing card and cut a template of the hand and card placed it on the dollar, and
erased the ink in that area, then you can do what Wayne says on the video, AND IT WORKS "GREAT".
Also I had a sheet of small cards so I took one of those and drew my own hand and it looks much
better than his. The reason for one star is because if it had not been for Penguins help, no one
could do this trick. You cant print white over black on any copier made. If you do what I just told
you It will look great.

Concept is nice. However, the dollar bill in the video does not come remotely close to the quality
of the gimmick we must make. For those that have downloaded, look at the serial number in the
video. Look familiar? Without giving too much away, anyone able to produce that quality of a
gimmick? If so, helpful advice please!

Boooo!
Booo.
Serial on Penguin is better. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/7526
This trick, with some setup, is very easy to perform, and get amazing reactions. The best part is
that they can keep this dollar bill!! Dalton Wayne really outdid himself!!!!
Very easy to make and I really look forward to performing this. And it gives me a reason to take
some dust off a certain something I have. You have to make a gimmick but it will be totally worth
it. Do not BUY if you think this is REAL magic lol. Remember this is a magic trick.
