The Gimmick: My first thoughts were that I should (as taught in the DVD) just go ahead and make my
own, because this just looks wrong. But I decided I would test it out first. And much to my
surprise, it totally fooled them. Given the nature of the routine, the gimmick comes in and out of
play so naturally that they just assume it is their bill. Why wouldn’t it be? I will most likely
make up my own gimmick in the future if I need to, but this one works just fine.
The DVD: Wow,
this DVD was longer than I anticipated. A little repetitive at times, but Eric really wants to go
into every detail. Which is great for a beginner, annoying for me at time. The alternate changes and
handlings are awesome and I find myself just practicing them on my free time.
Overall: This is
the most fair bill transpo out there. It requires some decent audience management and time. It isn’t
a fast one that is over as soon as it began. If that is what you’re looking for, just get the
5-and-1 Transpo. If you’re looking for a good engaging performance piece, get The Bill Test.
Thanks for the review! The included gimmick is surprisingly deceptive, as magicians we tend to over think it. A layman will assume everything is normal up until the point of something abnormal happening. When that happens, the gimmick is already gone and we are left with borrowed bills.
Bill Test has made a home in my wallet
