"This is the PERFECT routine for restaurants and pretty much any strolling gig... Wait a minute... stand up, corporate, trade shows, sales meetings, TV spots... Yeah, it's definitely a Danny Garcia hit!" -- Noblezada

"This is the best money magic routine I've ever seen. It's brilliantly constructed. Garcia gives us a series of four breathtakingly VISUAL changes... Each change building on what has come before, and each leading toward a climax so subtle, surprising, clever and funny that I've never seen a spectator grumpy enough to resist its charms. Highly recommended. I built my gimmick the night we got done shooting, and I've been performing the routine ever since. I can't recommend this routine highly enough." -- Maxwell Murphy, Penguin Magic

"I had two effects that I carried on me at all times...now I have three! Doing magic with real money never fails to help me get attention and build up a crowd of spectators. With Greed by Daniel Garcia, the changes are so visual they make the spectators stop and scratch their heads in disbelief. Until you do the next phase and they see the magic AGAIN!" -- Sam Blankenship, Penguin Magic

The Effect


You show your spectators a ONE DOLLAR BILL. Fold it in half and it's still a ONE DOLLAR BILL.

Give it a wave and with NO FUNNY MOVES and WITHOUT LEAVING THEIR SIGHT it visually changes into a FIVE DOLLAR BILL. That's phase one, and your spectators already got their money's worth.

Fold it again and it's still a FIVE DOLLAR BILL.

But give it a wave... and WITH NO FUNNY MOVES (and AGAIN WITHOUT LEAVING THEIR SIGHT) the FIVE visually changes into a TEN DOLLAR BILL! That's phase two. Now they've seen the magic twice... with their own eyes. It would be safe to say they're pretty much addicted to you at this point.

Fold the bill again. It's still a TEN DOLLAR BILL.

Give it a wave and AGAIN it VISUALLY CHANGES, this time into a TWENTY DOLLAR BILL!

That's phase three. At this point your spectators have had just about all they can handle... their mouths are watering and they're only moments away from EITHER embracing you as a spiritual leader OR grabbing your TWENTY and running for it!

Before they have time to decide, you say, "Want me to make it a FIFTY?"

They can't help themselves...

"YES... yes... GOD-YES!"

You give the folded up TWENTY DOLLAR BILL a shake and it VISUALLY MORPHS into a FIFTY...

...A FIFTY CENT PIECE!

You hand them the FIFTY CENT PIECE and deliver the MONEY LINE:

"Don't get greedy..."

You'll see Danny perform GREED for real peeps ON THE STREETS of the GREEDIEST city on the planet. You'll sit with Danny as he shows you how he invented the routine (AT AGE 13!), and how he has refined it through thousands of performances over the last decade. You'll grab your supplies and build your GREED gimmick right along with Danny as he takes you step-by-step through the construction process. You'll learn the complete routine with all the subtleties in the EXPLANATION section. And you'll perfect the moves alongside our OUTRAGEOUS FIVE ANGLE REVIEW SECTION (the first in magic history). We've captured all the angles so you don't get a stiff neck.

The OUTRATEOUS FIVE ANGLE REVIEW SECTION features:
  • The Penguin over-the-shoulder cam (OTS)
  • The Penguin under-the-armpit cam (UTA)
  • The Penguin dude-on-the-ceiling cam (DOTC)
  • The Penguin from-the-side cam (FTS)
  • The Penguin food-in-your-teeth cam (FIYT)
Use the angle button on your DVD remote to switch between the angles in real time as you watch.

Here's the bottom line:
  • Money talks! Get your spectators' attention by holding up real money, something your spectators are familiar with and care about deeply. That makes a huge difference in their emotional involvement with the routine!


  • Money talks! With the kicker ending, you're cleanly setup to move into any one of your favorite coin routines involving a half dollar.


  • Money talks! With the "almost instant" reset, you can carry GREED in your pocket and be ready to perform it again by the time you've walked over to the next table!


  • Money talks! Greed is perfect for the business executive or salesperson who wants to break the ice at a sales call or meeting! Imagine making a presenation about increasing company profits and you start off by performing Greed!
A tip from the Pros:

GREED is a must-have routine if you're working for tips.

Here's why: GREED allows you to get a specatator to reach into his/her wallet and hand you money BEFORE you've even done any magic. Emotionally, that person has in a very real sense already given that money to you. Even though they haven't said you can keep it yet, the spectator knows that he/she may not ever see that dollar again, and he/she is OK with that... otherwish he/she would't have handed it to you.

So, to increase your tips with GREED, start the routine by borrowing a spectator's bill.

You'll have to do a simple switch. Danny just folds up the spectator's bill, puts it in his pocket and says, "Thanks". He gets the laugh and says, "Just kidding". Now he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the GREED gimmick instead.

In that one simple exercise he's increased the spectator's emotional investment in the effect AND made it much more likely the spectator will give him a tip. And when you've got a group of people around you, if one person gives you a tip it's much more likely that other people will tip you as well. If you work for tips, GREED won't cost you a dime. You'll have paid for the DVD in just a few days of performing!

Manufacturer Says
Please note: GREED works with bills of many different currencies (Danny used to do it with Monopoly Money when he was a kid).

The key is that the bills you choose to use all have to be the same dimensions.

The color of the bills is less important. You CAN ABSOLUTELY use several different colored bills. The only difference is that with multiple colors in play you'll need to adjust your finger position slightly during the third phase.

FAQ
Q: My country uses bills that are different colors or lengths -- can I still do this? A: Yes, with minor variations. It is BETTER with bills that are more similar in color like US currency.

FREE BONUS: When you purchase this product from Penguin you'll gain access to a special private discussion forum exclusively for magicians who perform this effect.

  bill change
by fml from USA on 07/02/2009 11:47:00     
daniel walks you step-by-step through everything up to presenting "Greed"; clearly shown via multiple angles lead you to one of the best bill changes available! very nice!

  The Best!
by Russ Carsey from Portland,Oregon on 02/11/2009 16:02:45     
Best bill change I have ever done!Very Magical

  Great trick!
by Smokey DeVille from Chicago, IL USA on 12/23/2008 01:45:37     
This is a great trick. I use this almost every day, either as performed by Mr. Garcia or my own variation. It is easy to reset, and after some practice very easy to perform. If you pass the hat, you will make your investment back in no time! I do have one piece of advice, which is watch the dvd, then make your rig. American currency has changed since the dvd was produced, but the bill you need is still very commonly available, so don't sweat it.

All in all, Greed is well worth it. Add it to your cart, add it to your repertoire, and be ready to watch jaws drop!

  GREAT

I had been wanting this DVD for awhile, but, being in the magic business for a long time, knew that it would cost more than thirty dollars to make the gimmick. But due to specific actions (which can't be explained to save the secret), the gimmick costs less than ten dollars. I purchased the DVD in a Penguin Special which made the DVD essentially free. However, if I would have known that Danny was such a good teacher, the gimmick was so cheap, or that the actual trick is relatively easy to master, I would have immediately purchased this DVD. IT IS GREAT!!

  Us Poor Canadians
by Eion Smith from Stratford, Ontario, CANADA on 08/29/2008 23:36:29     
I purchased this trick without asking, but now i am telling.

I am a Canadian living it Southern Ontario. American money is green, Canadian money is, well, blue, green, purple, red, yellow, etc. Danny is an awesome magician and I own most of what he has done, but this effect does not work well with money that is different colours, I could go as far that it won't work, but I wont. If you have a PhD in arts and crafts, as well as hours of practising you could potentially pull it off. But if you dont, Canadians and other Colour Money users will have much trouble, in fact probably have to give up on the last change completely. Sorry Danny, but it had to be done. It is still an amazing effect, just wasn't designed for everyone, it was designed by Dan, for Dan. Which makes sense...
