Here's the irony: I don't do the bill switch. I've not quite mastered it yet. I have extremely dry
skin and extremely large thumbs and fingertips that have lost some feeling (too many needle pokes to
check my blood sugar). I've had a difficult time finding a thumb tip that works well for me and the
switch.
Having said all that, anyone who does bill switch work should own this DVD. Those
who haven't learned the technique should own this DVD. Jay goes into great detail on the actual
technique with lots of pointers on how to really master the switch. He also spends time talking
about different principles and his takes on the use of the move.
On top of that, you will
find 30 different ideas and effects that you can do with the bill switch. So think of that: 30 new
effects with the exact same method. This means that if you already do the bill switch, you can add
30 new tools to your tool belt instantly. That's powerful. Jay teaches ideas that range from
children shows to close up to even stage work.
He talks about using the switch implicitly
verses explicitly along with many other thoughst about the move itself. Typical Sankey to be able to
take a principle and think of every possible, conceivable way to warp it, bend it, twist it, invert
it and use it. Again, remember, if you already do a the bill switch, you'd be crazy not to own this
DVD; it instantly adds 30 new tricks that you can do without having to spend any time mastering the
technique. For those wanting to add the switch to their arsenal who haven't mastered the bill
switch, get this DVD; learn the switch, then you'll also have 30 new tricks. Get it... GEM!
