I have been learning Eugene Burger’s 21st Century Bill Transpo. I like that a bill can be borrowed, while the magician uses his $1 bill. I also like that the gimmick is separate and can be brought in and ditched.

I’m not thrilled with Eugene’s blow change. Maybe I just need more practice. Is there an alternative handling for this phase, perhaps published by someone else, that utilizes the same gimmick? I’m aware of David Parr’s handling.

Gjo, Is the version you're referencing from Burger's Magical Voyage series?

Yes.

I've not seen this but, it looks to be an update. It was done much later than Burger's Magical Voyage series.

Different effect. Different gaff.

21st Century Bill Transpo by Burger and Parr is an updated handling/approach to Grant's Slow Motion Bill Change. Burger's Penguin download looked to be an updated handling of the 21st Century Bill Transpo.

21st Century Bill Transpo and Slow Motion Bill Change are both handlings based on Grant’s “Slow Motion Bill Transpo” published in The Tarbell Course in Magic Vol. 3”.

21st Century Bill Transpo from “Magical Voyages #1” video uses a separate gaff that allows both bills to be examined before and after the effect.

Slow Motion Bill Change sold by Penguin Magic is an updated version of Burger’s Slow Motion Bill Change published in “The Craft of Magic”, then published again in “Mastering the Art of Magic”. The gaffed bill cannot be examined.

I have/own both “Magical Voyages #1” and “Mastering the Art of Magic”, so I know exactly what each entails.

My question refers specifically to 21st Century Bill Transpo from “Magical Voyages #1”.

With respect, the change used in Slow Motion Bill Change (either iteration), cannot be applied to 21st Century Bill Transpo. Different gaffs requiring different handling.

Thanks for that clarification. I have the Tarbell and Burger books, as well as Brainfood. The confusion for me is that both Burger and Parr's names are associated together with Slow Motion and 21st Century.

It’s definitely confusing.
