"This trick fooled me; made me feel like a layman again!" - Doug Conn

"When Kyle showed me this, I was literally in awe. I don't say this lightly, but this is the best impromptu bill effect I've ever seen!" - David Jonathan

"You know when you're jamming with some magicians, and somebody pulls something out, and it makes you go **mind blown** , and then you throw everything that you were about to show away, or you shove it back in your pockets because you know it's all downhill from there...well that's what happened...I cannot recommend this effect highly enough!" - Ben Williams

"Impromptu bill routine that looks like a gimmick and CGI... yes please." - Ryan Schlutz

"When Kyle first showed me the Hancock Effect, I literally told him not to show other people. I'm not even joking, i thought it was so good, I told him he shouldn't share it with anyone else... But lucky for you, he didn't listen!" - Josh Janousky

"This is a trick you will do! You borrow the bill, you borrow the pen. Nothing to add on, nothing to steal, there's no gimmicks, there's virtually no set up...if you can fold paper, you can do this..." - Ryan Bliss

When Kyle Purnell wants to make you question reality he borrows a dollar from you, has you sign it, and then moves your signature from one side to the other without gimmicks. Then he gives the bill back to you for you to not only examine, but keep as a souvenir for you to remember the time he turned your brain into putty in his hands. This is Kyle Purnell’s The Hancock Effect.

Here’s what happens:

A one-dollar bill is borrowed from a spectator. An arrow and a box are drawn at opposite ends of the bill. The fill is folded into quarters so the audience member can sign their name below the arrow. Then, with no funny moves, the magician visually removes the ink from the bill. Next, they crumple the bill and place it in the hands of the spectator. The magician tosses the ink back onto the bill in the spectator’s hands. They open it up and their signature that was definitely underneath the arrow is now on the other end of the bill inside a previously empty box.

This effect was a huge hit at Magifest with magicians dragging Kyle all over the convection to perform this miracle. There really are no gimmicks, and you really can borrow the bill from your spectator. In addition to The Hancock Effect, as a bonus, Kyle teaches you his gimmick-free impromptu pencil through bill effect Incredibill. This download is jam-packed with gimmick-free effects that end completely clean and taught in detail for both right-handed and left handed performers. There’s even an included PDF so that international performers can perform The Hancock Effect as well. A moving ink effect has never been this direct and this examinable. Blow away your spectators and then leave them with an impossible souvenir with The Hancock Effect.

Pretty cool but only for US 1$ bills Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 21st, 2020
I wish it stated that you cannot do this effect with any bill except the US 1$ bill.

It's a very cool effect and I wish I could be performing it here in Canada.

Astounding! Report this review

I was fortunate enough to meet Kyle last year at MagiFest and have a private performance and teaching of this, and it was by far, the most magical moment of the entire weekend. Simple, powerful, effective, and it’s all done with a borrowed bill. You can’t go wrong- it’s as impromptu as impromptu gets. Fantastic!

Good but not good enough Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 19th, 2022
This and other signed bill or card effects that require the magician to hold on to the bill or card(s) does not appeal to me as this is unnatural. Naturalness requires the magician to give the bill or card to the spectator to sign with the spectator being able to handle the bill or card freely.

Add this to your impromptu repertoire Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 23rd, 2020
Hey, I can spell "repertoire!" Pay attention to the video. Stop. Freeze. Repeat. This doesn't require rocket science intellect or super duper sleight of hand. But it does require paying attention. I would put this on the level of the $2 bill to 2x$1 bill transformation I learned on Jay Noblezada's MONEY video (another kick ass trick - I carry the gimmick around in my wallet). The Hancock Effeect is about the same level of difficulty, which means NOT THAT DIFFICULT.

So smart Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 20th, 2020
Bravo, Kyle! This effect does take some practice (of course), but in a couple of days, you should have the moves down pat and be ready to perform. It really does look as good as the preview video - the “pulling off” of the signature is very visual and convincing. This one could also play effectively on a Zoom call. If you don’t have U.S. currency, Kyle even provides a method and a PDF template for performing with a regular piece of paper. Very generous. Note: there is even a bonus penetration performance included that is impromptu and quite strong. In short, buy this!

I'm not a coin/bill magician but when I read that you can borrow a one dollar bill, a sharpie and move the initials or signature without any gimmicks, I thought this was too good to be true. I took a chance and I'm glad I did. I performed the effect for my friends and family with a borrowed dollar and sharpie and all I heard was WTF!!! Like I said, I'm not a coin/bill magician or for that matter a close-up magician, so if I was able to fool the most critical spectators of all- my family, you won't have any problems doing the same with your audience!!
Get it!

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM ! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 18th, 2020
I rarely write reviews, but I'm compelled to do so on this occasion. Very rarely does a true impromptu worker become available to the Magic Fraternity. This is one of those times. Kyle, thank you so much for sharing your brainchild. It's brilliant. I'll be doing your trick for the rest of my life. Now the rest of you folks, stop reading the reviews and purchase this. You'll not be sorry.

This is a great spontaneous magic. No Prep. Everything looks like real magic. Directions were a little fuzzy but I figured it out. It is well worth the money.

The Handcock Effect by Kyle purnell Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 22nd, 2020
This is simply the best money effect on the market. I say the best because it’s as visual as something you may expect from heavy gimmicky but the best part is there is no gimmicky it’s all completely borrowed objects. I can’t stop performing it. I was able to walk down my steps borrow a dollar from wife and perform instantly she loved it as well as everyone I have performed for loved it. Great job. Kyle you are genius.
