This is good for what it is. The effect itself is a nice alternative if you don't want to sacrifice bills like some of the other bill changing effects.

The change itself is visually stunning. This is a 1-way change so no going back. You can hand out the bills however the action does leave you a little dirty but there is a clean up for that. The effect itself is well choreographed and the moves need to be done as taught in order to perform the effect well.

This is an opener effect if you perform walkaroind do to the nature of the effect because if you have to reset and it's not something you want to do infront of the audience. Another reason you'll want to perform this as an opener it is not something you'll want to do if someone is burning your hands. More so for the end when you're handing the bills out to the participants.

Also the bills aren't secure so you'll have to be very careful when performing. It's very easy to drop the bills.

This is an effect that's going to need a lot of practice to perform successfully. This took a little more time for me to become comfortable with unlike its gimmicked predecessors where you'll get it after a few times.

Definitely take your time. Don't rush the change. If you do you'll run the risk of flashing or dropping your bills.

I don't recommend borrowing bills unless you plan on giving the bills away because if you don't and say the line "your bills jumped to my pocket", it's a bit of a let down to the audience. My fix is performing it with $2 bills. It doesn't cost you much. It also makes for a nice change because the bills look very similar to $1 so even after the change is has been made, if your audience didn't notice, it's a startling surprise once they focus on the bills.

With that said... I will say that this is a great effect if you want to open with and/or of you want an impromptu/inexpensive version to a popular effect.
