“I can’t believe this wasn’t created 50 years ago.” -Gregory Wilson

“This is a rarity in magic. You have two genuinely borrowed objects that change places in a fairly visual manner, while the spectator is holding one of the objects. Right before the bill changes in your hand it can be displayed cleanly pinched between your thumb and index finger and there is nothing else held in either hand. The bills can even be signed or marked in some way (they would mark one, you’d mark the other). From a non-magician’s perspective, there’s no obvious solution for what must have happened here.” -­Andy from The Jerx

“Superb!" -Paul Cummins

“Erik Casey’s take on U.F. Grant’s bill transposition aces the test. This gimmick manages to allow for a variety of visual and subtle changes that should fit any close-up performer’s style.” -Jared Kopf for Magic Magazine


“When I do non­card magic I am incredibly picky and The Bill Test has gone into my repertoire and wallet.” -Ryan Schlutz

“Hot on the heels of the ever popular Poker Test 2.0, Erik nails it again with The Bill Test. It’s the perfect anytime, anywhere piece of magic that you can always carry with you. It’s visual, powerful, and it happens in the spectator’s hands. This is something I’ll use.” -­Tim Trono

The Bill Test teaches you how to execute a perfect bill transposition with any borrowed bills.

This brand new utility device allows you to start and end totally clean, and still perform an incredibly visual bill transposition. The nature of the routine cancels out any doubt of funny business, as everything is examinable from start to finish, because the borrowed bills never leave the sight and/or hands of the spectator. This is a very hands on approach to a classic routine, that will leave your audience in disbelief.

With teaching by Erik Casey and Gregory Wilson, you couldn't ask for a better deal. This will surely be a part of your daily performance gear.

Learn multiple different routines from Erik, Gregory, Ryan Schlutz and Meraux Dantes, and 5 different bill changes in this DVD.

The most versatile transposition in money magic. Including custom designed gimmicks.

Simple but Effective Report this review

What I said when I saw the trick performed: "Wow that looks fantastic"

What I said after learning it: "There's no way this will actually fool people"

What I said after performing: "I can't believe I just fooled people"

I haven't been doing magic for very long, and I don't do much money magic, but this one is for sure a keeper. It's so simple, but gets great reactions and just plain looks awesome. I highly recommend it.

The DVD also gives you some great performance tips and alternate handling options that are useful and interesting.

quite atomic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 10th, 2016
The gimmick has no flaps and doesn't require to be attached to any bill. It is easy to carry arround and easy to being in and out of play.

The gimmick's color discrepancy with real bills is only noticeable if you put it side-by-side with a real bill. This routine doesn't do that so you're safe.

Erik's and Gregory each teach multiple handlings, but the core effect is a transposition. I made my own modification for the gimmick to allow four different bills, but it isn't necessary.

MUST KNOW BEFORE BUYING THIS Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 23rd, 2019
I only gave this 4 stars because while it is a strong effect, the gimmick provided is built for American currency, and for a Canadian Illusionist, it’s kind of a put down, but they do provide prices to make your own gimmick out of your countries currency wherever your from so don’t let that stop you, your just going to have to cut a few of your paper money, but the sacrifice is very much worth the outcome👍

Bill Test has made a home in my wallet Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 23rd, 2016
The Gimmick: My first thoughts were that I should (as taught in the DVD) just go ahead and make my own, because this just looks wrong. But I decided I would test it out first. And much to my surprise, it totally fooled them. Given the nature of the routine, the gimmick comes in and out of play so naturally that they just assume it is their bill. Why wouldn’t it be? I will most likely make up my own gimmick in the future if I need to, but this one works just fine.
The DVD: Wow, this DVD was longer than I anticipated. A little repetitive at times, but Eric really wants to go into every detail. Which is great for a beginner, annoying for me at time. The alternate changes and handlings are awesome and I find myself just practicing them on my free time.
Overall: This is the most fair bill transpo out there. It requires some decent audience management and time. It isn’t a fast one that is over as soon as it began. If that is what you’re looking for, just get the 5-and-1 Transpo. If you’re looking for a good engaging performance piece, get The Bill Test.

A fantastic close-up currency effect, beautifully put together. Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 23rd, 2016
Erik Casey's Bill Test is as flawless a close-up trick that a walk-around performer could hope for.

The effect is simple, yet effective. One could easily carry the small, unobtrusive gimmick around, being ready to perform at any moment. As long as you have the gimmick, you are ready to borrow ordinary bills from spectators and perform, with little to no set-up, depending on which handling you prefer. Speaking of which, the DVD clearly teaches you not only multiple routines, but also goes into the nuances of performance and handling.

It is clear that this was a passion project, with plenty of thought and care put into the overall effect, and the details that make it work so well.

Highly recommended.

Bill Test is the dopest! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 1st, 2016
I don't know how to start this other than by saying 'wow.' I know that you know what it feels like to purchase something and realize it doesn't really work for you - kind of a bummer. The Bill Test is 100% the opposite.

I'm having a hard time writing this because there are so many good things to say.

I love that Bill Test is so insanely strong while being unbelievably practical and workable. I have two gimmicks on me at ALL times and a sharpie (I prefer to perform this with a little extra idea by Ryan Schultz). The only situation where I can't perform this is one where nobody has any paper money at all - obviously a rare thing. I can even do this if they only have two of the same bill!

This has become my go-to effect faster than anything else I've ever learned. Erik Casey has absolutely killed it on this and I can't imagine that ANYONE would be disappointed in this purchase.

Great concept and method Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 1st, 2016
The method for this trick is great, Erik with the help of friends has created several different routines for all skill levels using the same gimmick. You're provided with an already made gimmick as well as the material to make another one. In addition to this Erik teaches you how to make custom made gimmicks using items you probably already have around your house.

When I first met Erik he told me about his upcoming trick he was planning on releasing that fall, this trick would not come out for another year and a half. Knowing Erik I know that he takes pride in the things he creates and doesn't put out products that he doesn't believe in. As he states in the DVD it took him about 2 years just to put together the DVD for this effect. This is an effect that's practical, simple, and very visual with a gimmick that you can always keep on you!

Better and simpler than you would have thought Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 1st, 2016
I love it! Here's the thing: I fyou want to borrow the bills, this is the method and trick for you to do the classic bill transposition. If you don't, then use the traditional method. Although I never had people grab the bills using the old method (everything seems very fair so I never had a problem), this method is very nice because you can borrow the bills. The gimmicks included are very nice and you get a lot for your money. No money to destroy - no arts and crafts or anything - you're ready to go! Very nice and a great close up trick that takes no room up...

New Twist Kinda Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 26th, 2017
The effect is good, the gimmicks are good but it looks like a twist on a version put out maybe 10 or more years ago by Gene Burger. It is still worth the money if you want to have the ability to hand out the bill afterwards. I like that I can use this effect when I hand out tips.
