Great effect, great handling, and extra gimmicks - very nice. I love that it comes ready to do with
the dollar bill and everything all set for the trick - no arts and crafts needed unless you want to
gimmick another set up or use different items. There is not a lot of cover with the bill since the
gimmick is so close to the edge so I will have to work on that. It's not an issue if you have some
distance but you have to be spot on for close up use. However, since it contains extra supplies, you
can use the set up to change the bill into so many things. This is a great product - they did a good
job on this one. Nice value for your money.

This effect would be much better if it was offered as a download only. In addition to having to
download the video anyways (no DVD included), I had to throw the gimmick away and make my own.
Essentially, the package contains an unusable gimmick and a card with a passcode to download the
video, i.e., why not just sell the download.
I decided it best to throw away the gimmick
and construct my own for several reasons. The first thing that everybody notices about the Tic Tac
box is that it is in Spanish. It is obviously not something that I picked up at the local grocery
store. The gimmick would be very easy to transfer to a different box, but Tic Tacs available in the
United States are quite a bit larger than the one that the gimmick fits. On top of this, the
gimmick was constructed poorly. Aside from the fact that it was falling apart, the gimmick sticks
beyond the bill about a 1/16”. The gimmick was also constructed with a well circulated bill, making
it difficult to fold smoothly while performing. The downside to the gimmick constructed with a US
sized Tic Tac box is that it is a little harder to manipulate simply because it is larger.
Once you have a usable gimmick, the effect plays well and the premise makes sense in everyday
interactions with people. The only hang up is that people seem to notice that something doesn’t
look right with the box immediately after the transformation, But things move quickly at this
point; the gimmick is ditched and the box is handed out for examination to dispel suspicions.
Overall it is a good effect ruined by a poor gimmick, but can easily be remediated.

Very good product. It takes some practice since the gimmick can easily slip and be reveal the
secret. Otherwise, it's cool. Little margin for error, so a little distance between you and the
audience is the key to the success of this trick in case there is slippage of the gimmick.

I have been ordering from PM for years and as those whom have done the same know of the A in
costumer service and in arrival time. That being stated . The instructional video it purports to go
to has brought a bad taste to my mouth ( hence - is this another reason for the title?)
Be
warned that it gets you PC a ZEUS virus
I use this for excuse and explanation for the single
star.and with all the products I have bought worthy of great reviews it's a shame that my first
review caught me in not a lazy mood to submit a review, unfortunately a bad one.
Could it
just be me ? Perhaps

I liked the fact the trick is already put together when you open the package. Also, there are
several extra items to make you own gimmick. The downside is the trick is very angle sensitive. It's
also very easy to expose the trick due to slippage while performing.
