You can certainly trim a 2000Rs note to match it to the size of 500Rs note to make the gimmick. I didn't want to spend 10,000Rs to do that.

That is the thing after that the note won't be useable plus there is difference in width too.

400 Lux by Kyle Littleton is an ungimmicked version of easy money using the same principles and a few minimal sleights.

There are a few advantages; you can hand out each individual note, both the 1’s (say) and the 100’s (say), although obviously this requires some boldness and full use of the sleights described in the project.

I don’t have the routine down yet, but - as someone who’s a massive fan of Pat’s original trick, but never really felt comfortable with the gimmick, this feels like a piece that could be more powerful if it was fully practiced and performed a few hundred times…

I sent an purchased the Fred Kaps bill effect back in the 1970's from Ken Brooke's Magic Place in London, England.

That video is from different then the handling given in the instructions. It would have taken a description as long as your post to get all the details.
It was described to hold the bills and with at sweeping motion, flick the bills out and replace them in your hand to show the bills. YEs, the instructions suggest magazine picture pages, not newspaper. Mostly because the will last longer.

That is a powerful post, thanks for all the time consuming work.

I've always liked the way Page changes the paper to bills with Easy Money.

Charlie d, I tried to like 400 lux, but if you learn to cop the gimmick from Xtreme burn, you can easily ditch it, and your life will be easier. I found the bills move around too much in "400 luse."
I would highly suggest checking out Juan Pablo's "Size Does Matter." What blows your mind in this is that it is like xtreme burn but you change smaller bills, freely shown and can be of different colors (I am doing small russian bills) that instantly
change into American bills. To me this is much more mind blowing than merely changing bills into others of the same color but only with a different number on them.

What a wonderfull post.I have to say I liked for years Pat Pages Easy Money most... but Extrem Burn is really a killer.
