This is a good trick. The gimmick is easy to make, the handling is well explained, and the effect is very good.

HOWEVER, the gimmick won't work with Canadian bills, or almost any non-US bills I've seen. Had I known this prior to purchase, I wouldn't have bought it.

If you're in the US, or don't mind performing with US currency, this is worth picking up. If you're elsewhere in the world, take a pass on this one.

Justin & Rick, This is such a great effect! The gimmick is brilliant and super easy to make! The routine will take practice, but you'll have to down in a couple of minutes! I've only done this for a couple of people so far, but the the reactions it got were great! Great job Justin! Get Transaction right now! You will use it!

Such a solid piece of magic, and it truly is every bit as practical and easy as it looks!!

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!

Ok...Sure why some of the others gave less than 5 Stars...but hey. I'm here to tell you this effect is on of the "Best" Effects I've bought in a long time! The Price is unbelievable!

Gimmick can be made in less than 2 mins. Easy to carry...and can be reset on a Dime. If u like Money Effects..."Buy It"! If your a Beginner. .."Buy it"! If your a "Vet"....No Brainer..."BUY IT"!! This Effect really set my New Year off on The Good Foot. I have a few bill changes...and like i said this is the "Best" I've come across. You Wont be disappointed :) Rick....You Got a "Winner" Here! Thanks for sharing Bro :)

I downloaded this effect today at the opening special price.You should all take advantage of the special. This trick requires a little work but the effect is unbelievable. The explanation by Rick Lax is perfect. He goes into great detail . Take the time to follow Rick and you will have something that will blow peoples minds.

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.

Money magic is always a win....win choice when someone says. "Show me a magic trick". And Justin Floms Transaction is just the right one to fit the bill. No pun intended. Penguin Magic has always had the best access to some of the best tricks out there and this one proves it. Thank you Justin and thank you Penguin. A definite thumbs up on this one!

This effect is not bad in any way, in fact it is pretty good. However, it is somewhat lacking in becoming a complete idea. I feel as if the way you have to hold the bills, is very awkward. With this being said, i will still use the gimmick idea, however i will try to create a new handling. Lastly this is a 30 dollar trick, and it cannot be done with other types of bills. I live in Canada and our money is plastic, which means that i can't really do this trick. lastly their are better methods for bill changes, such as bill breaker, extortion or extreme burn.
Still it is a good trick and i will stick it in my wallet.

This is brilliant. While the display of the two tens is old con used in other effects, changing it to a $20 in such a visual way is a very cool addition. The fact that you the gimmick is not bulky or suspicious looking helps a lot. It looks like a single bill.

Using this gimmick in a 5 to 1 type of transposition is also a brilliant idea. I love changing a single bill into two bill and leaving the clean bills in the spectator's hand. Ends strong and very deceptive. Appears clean.

All in all, well taught, well executed handling by Rick and brilliant design by Justin.
