I've seen it live and it looks as good in person. As it says- no gimmicks, pure sleight of hand.

The only thing I don't like is Glenn. But that's personal.*

Thanks. Glad you like it. And thanks for your moneys.
It's not a lovely face, but it's mine and I like it.

This looks very good. However it looks very much like 'SKULLCRACKER' by Bob Sheets.

In Bobs version the bill is not covered at all, it is just shaken or raised and it changes. In this version it is covered for a second and the change happens. Also it is a nice idea for the torn and restored bill.

Please note I AM NOT SAYING THAT IT IS SKULLCRAKER but just saying it looks very similar.

This looks very good and as I am a sucker for all bill changes I will probably get this just to check out the differences. I like bill changes so much I did Bobs version on BBC 1 television a few months ago.

I have just tried doing SKULLCRAKER with one hand and it works and looks the same but the finger placement looks different on this.

Very good Glen I like this alot.

I will be getting this to see what the differences are.

The t&r seems to almost be getting the more attention than the actual switch, lol.

Just saw this in the You Oughta be in Pictures forum. We reference this book in our video. It is a great book, and a MUST for anyone interested in bill switches.
Steven Keyl goes over everything this book has to offer, as well as throwing in a few bill changes along the way.

I'd love to see that too, lol.
Seriously though, feel free to review if you bought it.

I bought it but I buy a lot of stuff. It is good. It is nothing like Skullcracker or Juan Pablo. I have not played with it much yet. I think the trailer and the ads are honest representations. As the creator points out in the instruction it is constructed sort of like a piece by piece card restoration and that is about what the angles are. In a standard TT with the card in 16ths you are exposed for such a short period that it almost feels like you could do it surrounded. I don't think that is the case here. The display of empty hands are nice but of course like most switches with no TT you are holding out a 1/8th folded bill at the very end and this may or may not agree with your performing style.

Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it.
I would love to hear more about your experiences with it after you've played around more/taken it for some test drives infrint of audiences. Of course, practice practice practice first. Did I get the right "practice" there, or did I just tell you to go get three law firms?

Also, the display/turn around of the bill is something I really like. There are some similar displays in the aforementioned Switch book for those interested in this kind of non TT display.

Thanks. I always worry about coming across clearly when speaking/teaching. I'm not always that great at saying things clearly abd concisely. Alex is certainly great at getting what is needed from the "performer" when it comes to teaching, and camera angles.

This looks really good and something that could be mixed into already thought out routines the only problem is I have to order it from Blue Crown, nothing but problems with every purchase so far...I love Alex but the process is like pulling teeth. Errr!

Shane, I never had a problem with the Blue Crown downloads. Are the downloads what you're referring to?

Yeah I get over it but it seems everytime I make a purchase I'm calling customer support...I use Vista just like the next guy maybe I'm just the unlucky one. Oh well this looks to be worth the hassle.

PS. I can't stop playing with Pop Fly all of my decks are now creased.lol The T&R they put out earlier this year I wasn't a big fan of it's what I call a youtube trick...looks great on camera but not deceptive in real life situation. I try not to expose it but there's moments that are quite obvious as in most effects that I wouldn't perform in actuality.

I just purchased this and wow, very nice Glenn! Very visual and fairly easy to do with a bit of practice. The teaching is very good, a lot of nice over the shoulder shots showing you the fine details. Everything is broken down into section so as to make it easy to digest what you've just seen and when you need to rewatch a speficic part, you can select the section that has what you need. I also liked the slo-motion run through as well to put everything together.

The torn bill was VERY nice as well, it's sooooo visual!! If you're on the fence and would like a bill switch that is easy to do and maximizes the visuals (half a bill) pick this up NOW!!

Xcath1 and lunatik, would you mind if I posted your reviews elsewhere? Was thinking of linking to them over on the Blue Crown forums.
Thanks.
