Hi all,
I just got Jay Sankeys No Card tricks, just so I could get the method of the bill switch. Can you do this bill switch as easy with English notes ? James |

Since it really isn't Kozlowski's, you should get the original. Get In Concert with Roger Klause. It tells the story. And the method is really cleaner.
Since American banknotes are of uniform size and color (fairly much) the switch is very smooth. This may not be the case if the UK notes are of different sizes and/or colors.

Hi, I presume this switch doesn't use a TT?

It does use one. It's just that Roger's handling of the switch is far cleaner than Kozlowski's. The average worker won't notice the subtle differences, but to those of us who have really seen Roger do it, the differences are quite pronounced.
The switch was invented by a European performer named "Vlado," who demonstrated it to Roger, and explained that an American was publishing it without his permission. Roger understood the principle and came up with his own version. The rest of the story is in Roger's book In Concert. Roger has a lot of work with this principle in his book.

Bill,
I have Roger's "Ultimate Slow Motion Bill Transposition" video on it's way to my door. Is this the same effect which you describe that is in the book, "In Concert". Regan

It probably is. I'm not a big video collector. I learned the switch from Roger, himself.

Thank you Bill. I guess learning it from the man himself would be the "Ultimate", but I hope the one on the video I ordered is the same one. I have heard lot's of good things about Roger's Bill Switch, but I didn't know for sure if maybe he had updated the handling or something.

The original manuscript describes two ways to do the switch. With or without a TT. I prefer WITHOUT.

I hope the video does also, but I have only heard of WITH being mentioned in reference to the VHS tape.

Since the Kozlowski manuscript is really an unauthorized version of the original method, the accuracy of it is actually somewhat questionable. I don't know whether there is still any animus between Roger and Mike over this.
If you do any version of it correctly, nobody will be aware of the existence of the TT, anyway. I guarantee you that if you watch Frank Price do it, you will never see the gaffus. Several years ago, when Archie's Fun Shop was still in business, a couple of ladies who had seen Frank do it at Magic Island went into the shop and asked the clerk if he had ever seen the trick. He 'lowed as how he had, and he sold them the manuscript. They studied it. That weekend they went back to Magic Island, and told Frank that they knew how it was done and that they were going to catch him. He did it again. Fooled them completely. They never saw the gimmick. All I can say is that Frank and Darwin Ortiz have something in common.

Bill,
I got the VHS Tape yesterday. Roger teaches the method without the TT. It is awesome. However I am worried about something, so I am going to send you a PM so I don't reveal too much. Regan
