The most commercial bill switch on the market, plus tons of bonus money magic tricks.

The Effect:
Borrow a one dollar bill and fold it up, without any funny moves the bill instantly becomes a 1,000,000 dollar bill! Hand it out for examination or even give it out as a souvenir. This revolutionary new method allows you to perform this classic effect without any complicated moves or monetary risk.

  • The bill is borrowed
  • Your hands are clearly seen empty
  • No thumb tip is used
  • Easy to learn and perform
  • Resets itself


Also Includes:

SwitchSee:
Chris' ultra-visual coin change, used for impossible coin changes and borrowed coin bends.

Hybrid Change:
One of the most visual bill switches in magic.

Chris Cross Coins:
Chris' take on the coins across plot. Four coins travel from hand to hand; each in a more impossible way than the last.

Buried Treasure:
The torn corner of a bill is handed to a spectator and the rest is caused to penetrate a deck of cards and find a selection that has been buried within.

Trick Specifications:
Instructional DVD covers everything in detail. Also includes Million Dollar Bill and rehearsal sheets, designed to make learning the routine as easy as possible.

Another really good deal . . . a killer bill change, a couple of solid bonus effects plus the props needed to pull everything off all for only $25.00. It's fitting that I'm listening to Anne Murray's classic song about wanting to hear good news. I've been reviewing a lot of DVDs that are expensive and only have one trick on them. This one, unlike those, is different for a change. It's inexpensive and more than one trick and includes stuff:


  • A little special something needed for some of the effects

  • A Million Dollar Bill

  • 2 Practice papers for learning the bill switch



Frankly, the only effects, in my opinion, that are worth considering is the Million Dollar Switch, and SwitchSee. Buried Treasure is, frankly, pretty weak, and the performance was dry, slow, fidgety and very awkward. Chris Cross Coins isn't too bad. It's a pretty standard coins across with a pretty standard kicker, but it's worth watching.

The Hybrid Switch is ok. However, I think that what you're really getting here is the bill switch. That alone (plus the million dollar bill) pretty much makes this worthwhile. However, when you factor in everything, I can't give this higher than 3.5 stars, but still a Gem nonetheless.
