I just watched my first ever performance of a bill tube effect. I was floored by the concept and thought I had to have that. There is a $5 bill tube on the market at the moment ( https://usamagictricks.com/product_info.......id=39776 ). I'm okay with it not being solid metal (reminds me of old camera film containers), I just don't want the spec to see what is going on. From what I understand there are no mechanics going on with this tube, just a lot of "pushing" we'll say.

I am not sure what else is on the market. I have done a lot of searching but I am not sure what is good and what isn't.

Hi Will! Welcome! Is $55 reasonable? Viking Magic makes the best one I know. This one:

There is of course, the Brema:

Myself, The Deluxe one is all you need. $55 means it WORKS every time and will LAST! Good investment. The other bill tube I have is also brass. It screws on (no lock). I don't know who makes it. I can use either one equally well. I do recommend the Viking though.

Yes, $55 is a quite a bit much. I am just doing magic for friends and family, not professionally. Looking more so in the $20 range, if possible.

For the time being until I can find a metal tube possibly in my price range (or until I can throw down more money), I've purchased the $5 Royal Magic Bill Tube just to check it out. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, its just $5. I'll let TMC know.

If anyone is reading this thread and wants to know what I think about the Royal Magic BT, here is my small review: http://themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic......c=675436
