Magic Tricks

First, get used to listening to a Frenchman giving instructions with a very heavy accent: it was hard to understand at times, and his instructions were very disjointed. I watched the entire DVD and still had no idea what I was supposed to do with what I received!! The card he used was totally different from mine yet nowhere did he mention that was okay. There is also, among other things, one double back card included: I STILL have no idea what that is used for!!
They use pictures to illustrate how to assemble the gimmick. It is not demonstrated, nor are you TOLD how to do it. I found that somewhat disconcerting. I will have to watch the video several more times to be able to figure out what exactly his routine is: it just seemed peculiar to me and more complex than it needed to be. HOWEVER, you can use his gimmick, which IS quite original and works well (except for reasons noted below), to make a card turn into a bill, or vice versa, instantly in front of someone. If you can figure out exactly how he flips the card and bill around showing all sides it will be an even better illusion! It is just presented and taught in a confusing way.
The gimmick will wear out fairly quickly if you do it often as it involves folding a playing card into quarters (try it, you will see). He offers a way to reuse the gimmick, BUT, it makes the final product thicker and more cumbersome. You would only be able to do this one time as well. So use this trick sparingly.
It does make noise when executed, and no one can be behind you while performing, or too close. I would NOT call this a close-up trick unless there is a lot of background noise.
You will have to cut up one or two one dollar bills to make the gimmick (even that was hard to figure out), but it is worth it for the final result.
I think the concept is very good and his handling of the completed gimmick is very nicely done, BUT it will take you a long time to perfect it and get to that level.
