This is a good effect. Very visual and it's defintely worth its price.

My only complaint is that the gimmick can make the trick look suspicious. That's pretty much all I can say so it doesn't come off as exposure.

Other than that, pretty good effect.

I was hooked the first time I saw a clip on Penguin Magic. Richard Sanders is a constant reminder of why I got interested in performing magic.This effect will fry your spectators. Just like every other dvd that Richard produces this one is packed with information. The gimmick will take you about an hour(maybe less)to create.

The DVD:

Layout- The layout of this DVD is very easy to follow. It's simple, and the menus are nice.

Intro- The intro shows the full Extreme Burn demo which can also be seen on Richard's website. Richard then welcomes you and gives you a little history on the effect.

Creating the Gimmick- Here, Richard shows you step by step how to make the gimmick. He makes one along with you so it is super simple to understand.

The Changes- In this section, Richard performs and then explains each of the nine changes. He gives more than one full performance for each change.

Extras- Richard now tells you about using different currencies and magazine clippings. He then talks about spending the money. He teaches you different techniques on how to count the bills depending on what currencies you are using. He then gives you some subtleties on one of the changes.

Final Thoughts- Richard thanks you for buying this DVD. Then there are credits.

Teaching:

Richard teaches how to make the gimmick and how to perform each change expertly. He goes with you step-by-step making it super simple. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

The Gimmick:

This is the same gimmick as Pat Page's EZ Money with a little something extra. The something extra makes all of the changes easy to do. I only had to add a little something to my gimmick because I already had one made because I used to perform Heiny500 and Slow Burn.

The Changes:

Smackdown Change- In this change, Richard show the bills, and sort of tosses them in his hand. They instantly change. This change can be seen in the demo many times. It's my third favorite change.

Flicker Change- In this change, Richard holds the bills so half of the bills are visible. He then flicks his wrist, and all of the bills change. This can also be seen on the demo. I don't personally like this change, but it does look great.

Twister Change- This is my second favorite change on the DVD. It's awesome. Richard shows the bills, and slowly twists them around. As they twist, the bill change. This can be seen on the demo, and it's the first change I do in my video in the Penguin Theater.

Gravity Change- This is a great change, but very similar to Heiny500. Also, this can be accomplished without the special gimmick. This is the second change Richard performs in the RealTime demo video on his site.

Unfolding Change- This is an okay change, definatly one of the worst on the DVD. It's not very good because the bills need to be folded.

Vertical Turnover- This change is the same as the Twister Change but done vertically. It's very good for stand-up.

Instant Change- This is another change that isn't very good. It requires the bills to be folded, and doesn't have the impact the other changes do.

Slow Burn- This change is awesome. You rub your hands over the bills, and they slowly change. This was a separate DVD, so if you search Slow Burn you should be able to find a demo.

Underground Change- Here it is. The best change on this DVD. I can't explain it, the bills just change. It's the second change I do in the Penguin Theater. Also, it's the first change Richard does in his RealTime demo on his site. This change looks a lot better in person than it does on camera. A lot better.

Extreme Burn vs. Prophet:

I don't own Prophet, and I don't plan on getting it. You can do the Prophet change using the Extreme Burn gimmick. You can not, however, do the Extreme Burn changes with Prophet. Extreme Burn is a 90 minute DVD with 9 incredible changes. Prophet is a 32 minute DVD with only 2 changes. Which seems like a better deal to you?

Overall:

Overall, I give this a 10/10. If real magic was real, this is what it would look like. This is the final word on all multiple bill switches.

I bought this and at the time I got it and made the gimmick (it's fairly easy to make) it was my most requested effect and I got some amazing reactions with it.

This effect is the ultimate in bill change effects. I do not have Extreme Burn 2.0 so I cannot compare, but I love the original enough to not have to go with the upgrade. With that said, this is an amazing effect. With no cover at all, your bills visually change from 1s to 10s, 100s, whatever you want.
Richard Sanders is a great teacher and goes through the construction of the gimmick step by step. You will need to gimmick quite a bit of money but can be taken apart if you ever need to spend it. He goes through 9 variations on ways to change the bills and as a bonus, his Slow Burn which he sold seperately before is included. There's a lot of value for your money here.
The trick is very easy to perform and looks like real magic. Highly recommended and since 2.0 is out, then I'm sure the upgrade makes an excellent effect even better.

I just made my EB gimmick today, and I have fallen in love with this effect. It is truly one of the best money effects I've ever used. It is so easy and is such a beautiful effect. I love this trick, and I know you will too. Everyone needs to add this to their repetoire.
