The word "magic" implies that the extra-ordinary is happening. It's an experience, not a
demonstration. Too many times, "magicians" learn the secret and forget that they now know how to let
people experience "magic". They perform it in some off-the-cuff, tongue-in-cheek way that telegraphs
to everyone that they are just performing a "trick" to fool them.
If you want to perform this
that way, it sucks. Go do another "card-flap" routine.
But, if you want to do REAL magic, the
kind that makes people feel that forces exist outside the realm of possible, this is definitely one
of those rare gems that is worth ten times the price of admission.

I've performed Energy Bill to a friend of mine and he yelled "It's the DEVIL's work!!! Must be the
devil's work!!"
I personally think this is an amazing product. I'm not much of a performer.
I only perform things that I am very comfortable with doing and has that 100% fail proof. This is
one of it. It only took me a day to practice and to have the confident to perform it to people.
Best thing is that it doesn't requires any gimmicks. It's as real as it gets.

I'd recommend this. I think it's strong enough to help you develop a cult.
Not that you
should...

I have been doing CLOSE-UP for 44 years. THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP 10 I have purchased from PENGUIN.
The other two are. Volition by Dickinson $$9.95 download and 24 Karat fold by Greg Wilson $9.95
download. All three for under $32. You will FOREVER THANK me. wgF

I originally gave this 4 stars thinking that maybe I was just missing something? But after intently
studying the instructional video again and more than 50 attempts (far more than should be needed for
this effect), my true successes were only 5. I really wanted this to work but it simply doesn't for
me. Don't recommend.

Wow. Just a marvellous routine to keep with you for ever. Borrowed bill (paper only) - or a lottery
ticket etc and it fold by itself with no loops, threads, magnets... NOTHING. This will astonish
people. A really nice close-up piece of magic. Love it.

I have been doing something like this with a paper clip, but this is more on the spot and
astounding, using their own dollar! I was able to learn and do it effectively within minutes! I have
not seen anything as effective, simple, from a borrowed anything before!People are really thinking I
have the power!

You get a great magnetic effect with any dollar bill. With a little practice, you can really get a
psychokinesis effect.
The trick will work with any bills but I find newer bills work much
better.
This is not for street magic because you need to be in a wind free room. Stay away
from fans or AC vents.

One of the best impromptu effects....EVER! Again....handling is important. Be a good
magician...PRACTICE.
This is one of the best tricks i've come across in a long time. It's not hard to perform, will just
take some pratice. The method is really really cool. The creator gets many props for having come up
with it. Believe it or not, there are really no threads and no gimmicks at all.
The only
reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because I find it almost impossible to get the bill to fold
completely and fall, as shown in the trailer. Maybe it's the currency I am using (I am in Brazil),
but I find you don't really have full control of the bill once you step back. I mean, you can still
get it to keep folding, but for me it has been impossible to make it close completely and fall.
Anyway, this is highly recomended. It is not hard to learn, and will amaze people. This is as
real as telekinesis gets!
