My initial reaction to this illusion was that it was very complex. It is not, but I suggest watching
the tutorial very carefully a couple of times through. I had to let what he was doing soak in, my
ADD kicks in and I need repetition. Once you have the routine down it's a stunning trick. The kicker
at the end of this trick with the dollar bill is incredible. Derek said this is his first tutorial
with Penguin, I hope to see more. This one is worth learning, just make sure somebody has an I Phone
before you start.

It will work with an android phone, but the android calculator will show the eight digits as you go through the multiplication process. A spectator who is paying attention will surely notice. If you can't get an iphone from the audience the solution is to download the iphone calculator onto your android phone from the Google Play store and use that. It's best for this trick because it only shows a zero as you multiply the spectators' numbers. It makes it very clean when you turn the phone back on after the shuffle. Just a zero showing then the number you need after you (or a spectator) hit the = sign. I hope Penguin adds the suggestion to download the iphone calculator for android users. The effect is better with that calculator. As far as I could find the iphone calculator is the only one that works in this way.
