GET MONEY
Louis Frenchy & George Iglesias
Twister Magic
(Based on 1 review)
Based on the effect dollar to credit card created by George Iglesias in 1995 and popularized in the magic world during the past 10 years, Louis Frenchy now comes with this new version named Get Money where you will show 3 amazing transformations in just seconds.
Extremely visual, fast, very commercial, easy to do, portable and customizable.
Effect:
Show a $1 dollar bill and transform it into a $100 dollar bill, now give a magic pass and transform the $100 bill into a blue VISA credit card, now show it from both sides and when giving another magic pass transform it into a gold AMEX credit card that you can also display on both sides.
The magician can place his own credit card (real or expired one) and make a payment with the gimmick or switch the gimmick for another one. Everything is fully explained in the instructional video.
Available in three versions: Dollars, Euros and Pounds.

The effect is simple and straightforward: a $1 bill changes to a $20 (or whatever denomination your purchase), then to a credit card…and then to a different credit card.
The main gimmick is self-contained and nearly self-working.
The gimmick comes pre-made with high-quality fake bills, as well as individual bills of the same denomination, in case yours wear out (they claim the gimmick should be good for at least 300 performances). If using fake bills bothers you, it wouldn’t take much to replace them.
Instructions are handled via a video you can view online and/or download.
Of the two credit cards, the gimmick comes with an Amex Gold that you can use out of the box. But if you want to use a card of your choosing, it’s relatively easy to swap them out. You can even swap out the first card (the blue VISA). It takes a bit more work but the whole process is explained in the “How to Fix Your Gimmick” section of the video.
It’s a nice, quick series of changes, but there are definitely some drawbacks.
First: angles. If you’re really gutsy you might be able to get 180 degrees, but you definitely can’t have anyone even a tiny bit behind you.
Second: lighting. You’ll want to be aware of the lighting situation, especially any direct light that might hit the front of the card or illuminate the edges. If you work quickly and put everything away immediately, you can probably work around the lighting situation. But be careful.
Third: distance. Even if you’re in lighting that won’t accidentally flash on something you don’t want people to see, I think you’ll still want to be a good 6 feet away, or more.
It should be obvious by now that you can’t hand the gimmick out. But you are given a couple of decent options for switching the gimmick out for a real credit card, without the need to be a master of sleight of hand.
One thing I really appreciated is that there’s not only a whole section on the video about fixing your gimmick, but they even provide the necessary materials (via PDF download). You just need a printer (NOTE: it’s in A4 format, which shouldn’t be a big deal no matter where you live).
