This bill switch looks AMAZING, but is it too good to be true? Of course the normal bill switch you can just slip on the gimmick need, is this the same? I want to be able to just in between tricks get the setup ready, as in Bill Malones Bill to Lemon. Basicly what I'm asking is this bill switch practical for the real world? Or is it another trick that is only good for the webcam? Also does anyone here accually use it and has it worked good in performance?

Dave2lift,

Where can I see a demo of this at?


Thanks

Dave2lift,

Although I am obviously biased , I can tell you that I use this all the time, it is very practical for 'the real world'.

Now I am not one to pull any punches, regarding any effect, even my own, so here is the bad news; while the effect is very practical, the load will take some practice. Unlike a TT version, where the bill is held in the TT until use, with CREAM, the bill and the gimmick are separate and loose. This does not pose any real trouble for setting up, but you should know ahead of time that what you know about bill switches will be of little use when learning CREAM.

Hope that clears things up a bit.

I bought this one a little while back, and so far it's always been very practical for me. I had some basic familiarity with the gimmick already, so it all seemed pretty natural.

As a matter of fact, I'm not sure the video demo I saw even did it full justice. It's really beautiful when you see it in person, and can genuinely astound people.

Cheers,

Cy.

Cy,

Thank you for the kind words regarding CREAM!

I agree with you that to fully appreciate CREAM, you really do have to see it in person.

I don't know much about Cream - I have Hundy 500 by Greg Wilson and think it is a very clean looking effect and practical to perform. Anyone know the differences between the two?

Hundy 500 is a multiple bill switch; you change 5 bills to 5 others.

CREAM is a single bill switch; you switch one bill to another.

Hundy 500 uses a gimmicked bill, CREAM does not.

If you watch both videos, you will see the effects are quite different.

Yah, I give this bill switch major props. I talk one of my spectator's into telling me to turn a 5 into a 50.... Great reactions.

I personally use Jay Scott Berry's Cloaking Device for a bill switch. It looks absolutely beautiful.

Just mine opinion:
The Cream is based on the Albert Goshman's Sanada Gim. Personally l feel it works better for vanishing or producing a sponge ball from your empty hand, rather than a bill switch.

If l only would go for one bill switch routine, go for the Cornelius routine on the Ammar Classic Renditions video, a classic!
