Magic Tricks

So I received my copy of Extortion the same week Money arrived and I'm sure many of you, like I was, are wondering what's the difference, or which one is better? Well after playing with both, and seeing the reactions, I have to say, they are almost on par.
I say almost because you can do some things with Extortion that you can't do with Money and vice versa. For example, Extortion can be folded into quarters and have both sides shown before the change. However Money can be placed under a spectators hand and the change can happen as they lift their hand or smack the table.
What it comes down to for me is the quality of the gimmick. Money has a pretty subtle gimmick, it can also work with minimal movement. Extortion's gimmick is extremely solid and even more subtle, its thinner too. I also must say that the Money gimmick has too many components while extortion is very simple and bare bones. Both are fairly easy to build, but Extortion is more so.
I recommend Extortion over money in terms of quality of the gimmick. The only advantage Money has is the change under the spectators hand.

Bottom line, Extortion is way better in terms of a functional gimmick and you can easily recreate the gimmick several times because of its sturdiness. Hope this helped make up some minds!
