The Basic Effect:

A borrowed bill is signed by the spectator on both ends of one side of the bill. The bill is ripped in half. You press the ends of the bill together, and when you open them they are restored, MISMADE. Their signature is still on the bill, but the bill is twisted. You rip the bill again, fold it, snap your fingers, and it's completely restored ready to be handed back to the amazed spectator.

The Remixed Bill:
This is the bonus effect on the DVD. A borrowed bill is crumpled, and then ripped in half. You put the bills in your hand, and when you open your hand the bills are restored, MISMADE! You then give the spectator the mismade bill.

The DVD:

The DVD is very high quality. Andrew first introduces the effect. He then explains, in detail, how to make the gimmick. He then teaches the effect. Then there is an over-the-shoulder explanation. Then there is a review of pictures explaining the steps. He then performs and explains the bonus trick. There is also performances of many of Andrew's other effects.

The Gimmick ~Twisted~:

The gimmick for Twisted is extremely clever. It is a on time deal. Make it once, never do it again. You will, however, have to adjut the gimmick every six or seven performances. If you don't, the effect won't work. The adjustment is super simple. The gimmick does not require you to cut any bills. It's a clever gimmick that you'll be impressed with. No TT is used in this effect.

The Gimmick ~The Remixed Bill~:

There really is no gimmick for this. You do need to prepare a bill for each performance, however. The prepared bill is not hard to make, and won't take too long. No TT is used in this effect.

The Teaching:

The teaching on this DVD is excellent. You will not have any questions after you watch this DVD. Andrew goes over everything more then once, and you can follow along with him. He makes the gimmick while explaining it, and performs the effect while explaining it. You couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

Practicality:

These effects are extremely practicle. Twisted is better for walk-around, as the re-set is instant. The Remixed Bill isn't because you need to make a new bill every time, but you never lose money doing so. The Remixed Bill is better if you really want to impress someone, like a potential client. Giving the mismade bill to them is awesome.

Overall:

Overall, I really like this effect. It is going to go into my restaurant routines. I encourage people to get this. I give it a 9/10.
