Magic Tricks

I've been a working Pro for over 20 years, so I've developed a few routines to which I simply don't add anything because they are my strongest effects. After rehearsing this for only 30 minutes I decided to include it. I couldn't have predicted the reactions this got. Over the top! When you do strolling and/or restaurant magic like I do, pocket management is crucial and this fits the bill(pun intended).

There are several things Rick overlooked in his teaching. What if you're left-handed? You would have to reverse the orientation of the bills during several of the moves which isn't difficult to figure out on your own. However, I feel they should've been included for novices, especially given Rick's nature and penchant for attention to details.

And there's a much simpler way to display the back of the $20 bill than what he teaches. It's a very organic and natural way that any non-magician would do. I do it in the beginning while they're inspecting the $10 bills, and once more after the effect. It really helps to sell the idea that they're all normal bills. Only reason I mention this is because I always get asked, "Well, what about the 20?" I display it while they're handling and refolding the tens. That way, they don't feel it's necessary to handle the $20 themselves.

Having said that, Justin Flom is a genius! He could've/should've/but glad he didn't charge a lot more. This will floor your specs. Trust my experience when I say that. It's sooo simple to construct, learn and perform.
