Seems good for a show but you must make many gimmicks to use in walk around.

So, perhaps for a one time performance may be good. But for effective walk around not a good choice.

I gave this 4 starts. It is a 5 star effect but 3 stars for setup and reset, so 4 is the average.

The trailer (which is shown twice for some reason on the download) shows you what the spectator sees. It is good, no great. Nothing is cu from the trailer. You put a signed bill inside a card (think Card Warp) fold both in half again and tear it in two. You show two separate pieces, then put it together and have them remove the now restored bill. That's the good news, it looks great.

The bad news - you destroy 2 cards each time you perform. If you are strolling and want to make up enough for the evening you will be ripping a lot of bills. Set up should only take a minute or two per gimmick once you get the hang of it but be prepared to spend a lot of prep time and be prepared to destroy a lot of cards and have a pile of half bills if you are working a couple hours at a party. And unless you practice handling it two different ways you can't use both halves to make the gimmicks.

If all you want to do is fool your friends at the club, this is killer. If you want to stroll all evening just be aware of the upfront work. If you spend the time you will have a killer effect.

I was reviewing the methods I know for a torn and restored bill and I think this is actually the best. Its really easy, a decent price, the angles are great, it works with a borrowed bill, and you end clean. What more could you ask for?

The set up- It will take you about 30 seconds to set up each one, although if you set it up the way Dan recommends (if you can find the product he likes) then you can set up a bunch in advance and reset privately in about 3 seconds.

I was unfortunately among the people unfamiliar with the exact product he recommends, although I assume in a day or two someone will post a link to it on Amazon in the discuss section. For now its a 20-30 second reset for me with the other type of set-up. It seems to last in my pocket fine but I'm not sure how long you can keep it set up safely.

The angles are very good, but I don't think I'd want to do this surrounded. Although you can mostly cover for behind you will flash slightly. However if you are performing walk around, you don't need to worry about someone walking by seeing exactly how it works.

The visuals on this trick are fantastic. I can't think of a better torn and restored bill. For some reason torn and restored bills have always been way less visual than torn and restored cards, which is unfortunate because its much stronger to do magic with a borrowed bill than your own card. This one is much closer. It really does look like you took their bill, ripped it, and restored it without anything funny that looks like a switch.

I am also going to add that I don't think Dan's justification for the card makes sense. How many laymen know that a card is made of separate layers that are glued together. For now I am sticking with comparing it to sawing a lady in half. Its not that big of a deal one way or another. The visuals are so good, and the card is gone so quickly you don't need to worry about it too much.

You should also just be aware that you will need to destroy two cards every time you do this, which is a small price to pay for such a miracle.

Dan's teaching is phenomenal as always. I'm sure you'll love this trick. Enjoy!

I approached this wanting to like it. Dan Harlan gives charismatic performances. That said I felt the performance had the hands looking busy in ways that indicated something was going on. Also the performance had 2 obvious tells to it that would have me not performing it.

This is great and it's going into my wallet (always room for something like this). It's fairly strong but will require a few things you may or may not have, but is easy to get. It will also require moderate skill and confidence, but all that comes with practice. I'm not afraid of the moves, but they are important to consider when performing, although a comment and attention drawn to your eyes or what you're saying is probably the easiest if you worry. I only mention it because you won't be accused of "doing something" if they look up at you while doing what you need to do. But anyway, it's actually pretty good (and my wallet is pretty think with "thin" tricks to carry with me) and I want to use it. BUT, this does require more reset than I'd prefer, although it's minimal and the payoff is good. But I mention it in relation to things that can go right back in your wallet ready to go (like PB60). It's not a deal-killer, and the teaching is thorough and concise, one of my favorite requisites for learning something new. Well done.

After one performance, I was asked why I had to do it inside a folded card. I had the feeling others were thinking that. It's easy enough to "make", although some precision is required there, as well as in the performance. Bonuses are that it's a borrowed bill, although the borrowed one has to be similar to the gaff bill, and that's not always a given. I never had that "Wow! I can hardly wait to do it to the next person," feeling. For me, it's a "C+".

I've been performing magic for over 43 years and thought I have seen everything or at least come close to figuring it out … but not this time. This looks like real magic. With relatively little prep time, you can perform this anywhere, anytime you borrow some paper currency from a spectator. Sorry Canada, the plastic bills won't work. Talk about packing flat, you carry this around in your wallet and are ready to go. Yes, you will destroy 2 cards whenever you do this and so what, how many cards have you ripped in the past but not with the reactions you will get from this one? Thanks Dan for doing such a great job of demonstrating and explaining this. If you are looking for one of those "must haves" THIS is the one.

As a torn-restored bit Kill Bill may not be doing anything you're not already familiar with, but the presentation using cards and currency looks great.

Pros:
Finishes clean
Nice visual effect

Cons:
Minimal arts/crafts required
No discussion of how to reset
The concept of performing it surrounded by people seems slightly problematic

Yet, even with my 'cons' (one of which I expected) Harlan's performance sells the whole thing well enough for me to overlook my perceived negatives. He provides a couple of subtle performance tweaks to help really sell the t&r.

All of which means I look forward to giving this one a shot.

For less than 10$ it seems well worth a dip.

I agree with all the reservations expressed by other reviewers:-
* Too much prep for each gimmick, which is destroyed at every performance.
* Obvious in the demo performance that some fiddly work is going on.
* Smallest tearable note in the UK is £10 & will be £20 by Summer 2017.
* Torn card halves not examinable.

On the positive side, a good T&R bill effect has visual appeal and the method itself is clever. The teaching by Dan Harlan is good.

There are one or two moments in the handling where this trick is vulnerable. Even if you rehearse this a lot you will never get it perfect looking and the most observant spectators will know what is going on. The fidgeting and overhandling of the card and bill are apparent in the live performance of the download. I see this as a far less elegant and less practical version of Charlie Frye's Warpped and Fried. The advantages this has is it uses money which is more interesting to laypeople than cards. If you are determined to make this trick work for you I'm sure if you put in the time it will fool most people but in my opinion there are stronger and cleaner borrowed bill tricks that reset instantly. Clever idea on paper but once you get the props in your hands it doesn't work out the way you would think.
