Let me just start by saying that the trick looks awesome. Seriously, whether it's in the trailer or in real life, it does look like pure magic. However, I was overall disappointed by the trick for a couple of reasons:

-The gimmick is most of the time visible. Perhaps I did it wrong, but it felt like it was too visible in most cases
-You get 10 bills, which makes 20 possibilities as they are printed back to back. The problem I have with this is that, if you live in France for example, and you want to use both the 30 euro bill and the tab in French, you can't because they are on the same bill.
-You will have to cut a bill in half, which can be a problem for some people

But what frustrates me the most is the production quality. For the price, you get 10 minutes of instructions. And you dont get any verbal explanation, these guys just don't speak. You don't get a performance breakdown either, or some tips on the presentation. And to me, that's just not enough. I mean, you can buy tricks for cheaper than that with 3 hours of instruction. Even 10 dollar tricks have more explanations than that. I was really expecting more from this trick...

I know some people won't agree with me, and that's fine. It's just my honest opinion. If you can make it work for you, that's great. But I would not recommend it.

A big let down. The gimmick is somewhat visible in certain performances and you need to watch for this. I agree the trick is WAY OVER PRICED. You get no dvd, very bad and short instructional video less than 10 minutes with no talking, no additional ideas or routines, and YOU HAVE TO PUT THIS TOGHTER YOURSELF. This should be sold as a $5.00 to $9.99 download and that is still to much. Now the F/X does look good but in the right venue and more a (fast show and go) site gag than a real routine. We the magic community and buyers need to boycott the new trend to sell air buy magic dealers with little or no product. PS : The number one issue is U can not even download what U paid for so when the site/magician disappear from the internet as so many sites are for a few moths if that and expire BEWARE.
