Effect & description: Unlike your standard dvd that teaches several tricks, this disc is devoted to teaching you a single effect.

The magician clearly displays both sides of four bills one at a time before laying them down on his left palm without bending or folding them in any way. He shows his right hand empty, turns it palm down, and waves it gently over the bills, causing them to change instantly into four different bills! Again, both sides of each bills are invididually shown!

The trick resets automatically and allows you to change $1 bills to $100 bills, magazine clippings to money, coupons to cash, foreign money to local currency etc. The possibilities are endless.

-------------------------------------- -

First, the idea of changing one bill or a group of bills is not a new one. Many magicians have come up with versions using this concept, including Patrick Page, Fred Kaps, and just recently Gregory Wilson.

However, this has got to be one of the most visual variants I have ever seen! You literally pass your hand across the bills and they slowly change, just like real magic. This is a very strong effect to say the least.

Richard Sanders does an incredible job teaching you the work on this trick, and does so in real time. The disc runs about a half hour, and that's all that is really needed. I like the fact that Mr. Sanders demonstrates the effect from various angles, and gives you all the advice and pointers one could hope for.
