As a professional restaurant magician for well over 20 years now, I am very discerning and choosy
regarding what effects I add to my repertoire. For me the "packs small, plays big" adage is what I
live by. The effect must be instantly or extremely easy to reset, must take up very little pocket
space and must pack a whallop as a magical effect! Transaction fits every one of those
requirements! The gimmick is brilliant and is so visually deceptive that no one will suspect
anything! One wonderful aspect of this effect is that you can borrow the $10 bills if you'd like. As
a stand-alone effect it is very strong. Borrowing a couple of the bills or putting it together with
other money effects could make a knock out routine! The teaching by Rick Lax is wonderful and he
even includes an "over the shoulder" section so you can see what it looks like from "our
perspective". To me, that is the most valuable part of the teaching. Seeing it in action is
awesome, but to learn it I need to see it from my point of view. Rick goes into every little detail
and nuance of the handling and also the construction of the gimmick. It took a couple rewinds of
the folding section before I finally caught on with exactly how each fold went, but I did get it
fairly quickly and after that it makes perfect sense. Devote some time to this and you will have a
wonderful piece of magic at your command! Highly recommend this!
