In my opinion, this isn't a $25.00 US value trick. I've told PM so...Since there is no gimmick, it's
just a simple handling change with an easy sleight and if you want to hand out all the bills as in
the video, you'll need to perform a simple ditch.
Anyone can do it especially if you're
familiar with the other tricks like this e.g. Extreme Burn 2.0, Hundy etc.
I mean, really, how
many ways are there to do a bill change? Think about it.
Also, when you purchase the trick, you
don't even get the "discuss", "learn", and "watch" buttons in your private magic downloads page
because of a licensing issue.
How do I know this? I confirmed with PM customer service this
afternoon.
Oh yes, they're working on it...
It's a nice technique. It's just not a nice 25
buck technique...more of a $9.95 download.
Just saying...

THIS IS A HUGE ADVANCE IN BILL CHANGES. Even Jeff Stone gave this a modified Gem status, while
complaining about minor things. But these minor things do not amount to anything in a TRULY GROUND
BREAKING, CLEAN BILL CHANGE, WITHOUT ALL THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE OTHER VERSIONS. YES I HAVE PLAYED
WITH THEM ALL, BUT THIS IS IT. I admit the teaching could be clearer, but you can figure it out by
just going over it a couple of times. What Jeff Stone said in his review is that you CAN DO CLEAN
DISPLAYS WITH ALL THE BILLS BEFORE AND AFTER YOU CHANGE THEM. What other popular versions can you do
this with?
YOU CANNOT DO THIS WITH Extreme Burn. I had EB, but never wanted to Rubber Glue all
this money together and have it slowly fall apart. This version is about as hard as EB, just it
requires a little more practice, but not much. Again, this is the version you dream about doing--the
clean displays with every bill, before they change and after, a clean ditch if you want to, or else
a version so clean that you do not need to ditch. Again, do not listen to the negative reviews. This
is the BOMB. All the preceding versions culminated in this--clean like EB, no gluing of money, easy
to carry, UNBELIEVABLE DISPLAYS OF ALL BILLS, BEFORE THEY CHANGE AND AFTER. If you are not
convinced, leave this to a few of us to have the Best Multiple Bill change overall.

I am a huge fan of changing bills. I ha e purchased them all. 400 lux is a winner. Its
practical, moderate level slights, can be set up on the fly if needed, and can be handed out after
the switch. Buy this and use this.

Finally: an almost impromptu and beautiful, very easy-to-master bill change that can be done "on the
fly". Great thinking and top notch teaching! No more mess, no more glue, no more fuzz. This is IT!
The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is slightly harder to perform with bills that
don't have exactly the same size (this is a known problem that applies in many countries, also in
mine) - but overall I have to say: Well done, Kyle!

I love the bill packet switches. I have Hundy 500, Handout 500, Extreme Burn and EB 2.0. I currently
carry EB 2.0 in my wallet. I've constructed so many gimmicks I should have bought stock in Elmer's.
So, when I saw this effect... And how it looked so similar to what I was already performing...
Without a gimmick... I had to check it out.
What you see on the trailer is what you get!
Totally gimmickless change of bills. Kyle also includes a variety of changes to include his
gimmickless version of Hundy 500, Heiny 500 and the slow burn change from EB 2.0. He has obviously
put some thought into this. This will take a little practice for the handling (probably on par for
the practice required to to perform the other gimmicked methods). Nothing knuckle busting or
difficult. Kyle has also provided a practical method for handing out the bills.
One thing
to note. Although the effect is gimmickless, it is not completely impromptu as it does require a
teeny, tiny bit of preparation (you don't need anything but the bills for this prep and will take
you less than a minute).
All said, I'm very satisfied with this purchase and will be
performing from now on.

I should have just left the single two star rating on Penguin. Obviously, that person can't
appreciate something so simple, but so effective. The beauty of this release is it works just as
well as other gimmicked versions, the sleights are super easy, and Kyle has figured out the best way
of doing the effect without any gimmicks. Every single bill can be handed out for examination, he
teaches how to end clean. What more can you ask for? This is a winner.

I bought Extreme Burn a few years ago and like it a lot since it's got a very nice instant, visual
change. 400 Lux does also, plus it presents a convincing show of the fronts and backs of all bills,
without the need to create a gimmicked packet. If you want a bill switch that does what the others
do, but is cleaner, I highly recommend 400 Lux. You're paying for the setup and handling of this
fine effect - well worth the $25!
