Can it be used with any bill from any country?

Are there any angle problems or so related to this trick?

Yes you should be able to do with any currency note (I've used £5, £10 and £20 all different sizes) - watch from specs behind you

Just saw the video demo on shuffton's site. Seems too good to be true! ;)

Can the spectator hold the bill? Or does the performer hold both the bill and the envelope?
This is the most convincing magic I've seen in years... Can it really be done without much experience (2/5!?!)

I'm not going to buy a lot of stuff, but if this can be done by ME, then this is a "no-questions asked" buy!

Well, the spectator can examine the envelepe at the start... it really is a sealed envelope.

They also handle the bill, which is signed and folded by them.

During the effect, the magician handles everything, except the final envelope, which is opened by the spectator.

However, each envelope can be examined as the effect moves along...

I own this trick and I have to say I love it, it comes with quality made gimmick. I give it a 9/10, , -1 out of 10 just because nothing can be perfect, or to be precise the gimmick wears out after some time, but can be easily fixed or remake by yourself.

But I have to say it is an awesome and fantastic trick. Not much sleight of hand required, what you get form the purchase does most of the work for you. This is suitable for table hopping, mini-stage, or do it anywhere for your friends. Definately suitable for a beginner, as well as a great add-on to the repertoire of a pro..

I received this from Alakazam this morning. Been playing with it all day and I love it - this is just great. The envelopes are good quality and the gimmick is very well made indeed. I was practicing in front of the mirror earlier and it does look very good. Takes a bit of practice to get the handling smooth but no real sleight-of-hand is required; 9/10 from me. This is the best purchase I've made in a while. :D
