"I love Real Change because it is slow and the magic really sinks into their hearts. Great job!" - Joao Miranda

"Another great idea from the brilliant mind of Juan Pablo." - Charlie Frye

"It's the first time that I have seen four completely examinable $1 dollar bills slowly and visually transform into four $100 dollar bills that can be re-examined. And best of all, all without a gimmick!!!!" - Henry Evans

This is the final answer to the question, “Can you change a $1 into a $100?” Many magicians have tackled the iconic effect of changing four one dollar bills into four one hundred dollar bills. Argentina’s Juan Pablo was the only one to do it without gimmicks, and to be able to do it with borrowed bills. The absolute best part? ALL of the bills are fully examinable.

The Real Change is a gimmick-free, pure sleight of hand method for performing an effect that looks like the classic Pat Page Fast Cash trick where four one dollar bills visually transform into four one hundred dollar bills, but this is so much better. There truly are no gimmicks, and with just pure sleight of hand you can end completely clean.

Taught in detail by Nick Locapo, you’ll not only learn the setup but also how to do this with borrowed money. Imagine being able to borrow money from your spectator’s wallets and cleanly transform it into 20’s, 50’s, or even 100’s that are completely examinable. In addition, you learn seated and standing variations so you can perform this miracle in any situation. The Real Change is the real deal. Download it and start really transforming money and your magic.

Very clean, visual bill change Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 6th, 2020
I am very impressed by this effect. I own Extreme Burn and performed the hell out of that for years, and I suspected similar handling when I watched the teaser. But I was intrigued by a bill change with no gimmick. I'm glad I bought this.

Nick Locapo's instructions was honest, detailed and thorough as always. The angles are very solid on this, there are multiple handling variations that allow you to borrow bills (and have it still look natural) and to also clean up in different ways, standing or seated. I may even suggest going into your inside right jacket pocket to pull out the singles at the end, I think it may look even more impossible. But haven't field tested that yet, so take that with a grain of magic dust.

No difficult sleights, just a detailed order that must be followed. I do think the get ready looks a little more sure-fire than Extreme Burn's get ready, which I always found a tad finicky.

Well taught and very visual bill change Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 13th, 2020
First, the method is very clever and is well taught here. One of the pluses is that no gimmicks are involved. . With practice, this can be very deceptive. It does take practise though. There are a lot of opportunities where something could flash.
The negatives are that you can’t change them back to 1’s. But then again, why would anyone want 100s to go back to 1s. So that’s a minor negative. And the idea of producing the 1s again in the end, i would just avoid doing that. Especially when the effect should be about transforming 1’s to 100’s.
And the reset is not that bad, but it’s a little cumbersome compared to the ‘reset’ for something like extreme burn.
And with ending clean, it’s a little better than extreme burn. You can hand out all of the hundreds to be examined, but you’d have to reach into your pocket for your wallet for your hands to be completely clean as well.
Overall, great visual effect.

Extra cash when u need it Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 25th, 2023
I purchased this yesterday, practiced it a little and then when to liquor store to buy lottery tickets.

I gave the cashier a ticket from the last drawing that was worth $8, and told him I wanted to buy $40 in tickets for the current Powerball jackpot. He told me I needed $32 more.

I pulled $4 out of my wallet and counted it out for him. He said I needed $32 more, not $4.

I snapped my fingers and turned the four $1 bills into a $20, two $5s and a $2 bill. He gave me the lottery ticket, a bit stunned at what had just happened.

One word - Awesome! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 1st, 2023
This is a superb routine and has high impact. While it took some time to learn and required me to watch the video many times, once you have the setup understood, it’s a beautiful piece of magic you can do anywhere. Instant setup, minimal sleight of hand and shows great. This should be on any magician’s carry.

Good for being "Impromptu" Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 28th, 2023
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.

A Very Nice Trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 28th, 2023
Even with an amateur like me, this trick will live in my pocket as it's "simple enough" (for lack of better words) to be done wherever, whenever, it packs small but its punchline is a killer.

After a bit of practice is almost second-nature, so another big plus. As per usual, Nick LoCapo's explanation is thorough, clear, never rushed, and chock-full of tips which make this trick even better.

I HAVE PURCHASED MANY MONEY CHANGE TRICKS OVER THE YEARS AND UP TO NOW I HAVE NEVER BEEN TOTALY HAPPY.THE MAIN PROBLEM IN MY MIND HAS ALWAYS BEEN HAVING TO MAKE A GIMMIC. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT REAL CHANGE IS THEIR REALY IS NO GIMMIC WHICH HELPS TO SIMPLIFY EVERY THING. I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING FOR AN HOUR OR SO AND I AM ALREADY GETTING CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO PERFORM WITH AN ORDIENCE .JUAN PABLO IS TRULY GIFTED.I WILL BE SEEKING OUT MORE OF HIS WORK. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION WHAT A FINE MAGICIAN IT WAS THAT DEMONSTRA
TED REAL CHANGE. HE MADE IT VERY EAST TO UNDERSTAND.WHITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF MAGIC I HAVE PURCHASED GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY.

Best $1 to $100 bill change EVER! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 23rd, 2021
Hands down the best, cleanest, and most powerful bill change ever! I have been using the Hundy 500 for the past 15 years and it's going in my closet. Real Change uses no gimmicks and the handling is very easy to learn. Some of the moves are similar to Hundy 500 and it made learning a snap. The best way to perform this is sitting down because you end up clean. This is magic that will stun your audience!
