Respectfully, not worth the price... Report this review

In my opinion, this isn't a $25.00 US value trick. I've told PM so...Since there is no gimmick, it's just a simple handling change with an easy sleight and if you want to hand out all the bills as in the video, you'll need to perform a simple ditch.
Anyone can do it especially if you're familiar with the other tricks like this e.g. Extreme Burn 2.0, Hundy etc.
I mean, really, how many ways are there to do a bill change? Think about it.
Also, when you purchase the trick, you don't even get the "discuss", "learn", and "watch" buttons in your private magic downloads page because of a licensing issue.
How do I know this? I confirmed with PM customer service this afternoon.
Oh yes, they're working on it...
It's a nice technique. It's just not a nice 25 buck technique...more of a $9.95 download.
Just saying...

MagicYoda,
Thanks for the review of this. Most of your reviews are very optimistic so this must really be something to stay away from. Thanks for saving me $25.

Hey Harry...how's it going?
It's a nice technique that's easy to learn.
It plays well when demonstrated, but no bigger reactions than my EB2.0 packet.
Generally, I don't hand out the bills...no need really, but, even with EB, I can hand them out if I choose...except for the one note.
Maybe I saved you ~$15.00 because this is surely worth $10.00 ;-)
Best wishes...

I'm confused - you're giving it low marks because it's $25 and includes no gimmicks? And the ad-copy, which presumably you were OK with before you purchased it, explicitly says that it's $25 and uses absolutely "no gimmicks"? So you're grading it down because the advertising is true and you got exactly what was promised?

I am a puzzled by your review. What is it you are reviewing? The price tag or the effect? The price of a trick is very hard to value. I'll wait for a better review before I decide to get this.

No, no, no...
Gimmicks have nothing to do with it...sorry if initially it sounded that way.
Let me simplify...this is just a simple handling technique for a bill change. It's not anything amazing, in my opinion.
Does it have value?
Of course it does...just not what they're asking for it. Again, just my opinion.
I'm reviewing the performance/value ratio of this trick. Simply, are you getting what you pay for?
Again, in my opinion, you do not.
For those who have purchased the trick and disagree with my opinion, they've shared their inputs. Check the other reviews. Some people are thrilled with this. I'm just not one of them.
By the way, @magicpat... and @Virginiamag..., have you purchased the trick? Question is rhetorical, but I don't see your "verified purchaser" reviews anywhere.
Just saying...

The value is not up to you to decide. Of course it's subjective, but that's not really what a review is about. A review is about the product itself. The price is for the rest of us to concern ourselves with. You may be steering people away from something that they may have ended up LOVING, just because you scare them out of spending their money.

Yes, the value is up to him (MYoda), or any potential purchaser, to decide! If you disagree, fine!
In my opinion, I agree - the product value is part of any review AND for the rest of us to decide individually.
In regard to this technique, it is overpriced for what you get.
I'm not faulting Kyle for pricing it at $25.00 - whatever he can get is fine with me. It's an open market.
Anyway, enough said on this technique.

The ad copy clearly states there is no gimmick, so to complain afterwards that you didn't receive one is ridiculous. It's a well thought out trick, gives the consumer exactly what it promises. Whether it's worth $25 to learn the handling is up to the individual and you were aware of that when you hit purchase but to give a very good illusion a two star rating because you didn't receive something that wasn't promised is useless. This is actually a really elegant solution. Whether it will replace EB for people is unknown as EB is so easy to perform.

I bought this from a competitor. I dont have EB but I can tell you that it was worth every penny. non gimmicked visual change with an easy to do ditch and money you can hand out without worry? I have paid more for less.
