Just one question guys, if the spec takes teh gaff.. is the 'fraud' bill so clean the spec wont figure it out no matter how much they check it out?

This effect looks great might have to add this!!

Yup!

This isn't really a review on Fraud, but I ordered it and felt like sharing that I can't wait for it to come.

Hey! Well, I'm really interested in buying this trick, but there's one little problem, i don't live in USA or in England, i live in Mexico, so i would like to ask, do you think it's also possible to do the trick with mexican money? Does the kind of bill really matters in order to do the trick?

Has anyone cracked a UK version yet?

I think this trick is KILLER and would love to do it, but if I use dollar bills in the UK, it's obvious it's gimmicked....

HAVE YOU ACTUALLY READ THIS THREAD?

lol..

I take it from this thread that no matter where you live, hte concept behind it should work for any bills large enough to have a decent space between the 'part' of the bill being moved, and the watermark it is moving to.

I really want to get this... however, I have filled my basket to the brim at NUMS... and its going to be checked out in 15 days and counting!!

Siege, I have heard good things about your shop.. so im going to place my first order. One new customer coming your way

My copy arrived yesterday, chances are if the area around the part you want to move are a solid color, it will work. For example on a euro note you could move either the euro flag or the value on the left side.

I don't want to give away anything, but the trick as it comes is meant only for U.S. bills. By tweaking the trick, you can make a few exceptions (as the other posts state).

Ordered it thinking there was no gimmick (I knew it couldn't be done w/o one and be fully examined.) Got my hopes up, but hopefully I can perform this trick (seeing as I basically... suck with sleights and switches etc.)

I found a good demo of Fraud. Here is the link:

Just a question (can't wait for it to arrive -_- I even paid $8.49 or something like that for the express shipping, but I did by a nice black tiger deck ,) do you have to spend a dollar each time you do the trick? For example $2 to make 1 gimmick, if this is asking too much, then could a mod delete this post.

OK Here's the actual review. Note: I haven't been able to perform the actual trick do to a lack of a necessary "something" and a few sheets of "something".



Pros:
Preparation is fairly easy if you have the necessary things
Cleanup is part of the actual act (so instant)
Because of gimmick, the effect can be very visual and actual moving can be seen.

Cons:
Gimmick must be recreated several times to work for every bill
You need those special somethings to create the gimmick
If you perform the effect more than once to an individual, it could be easily found out that a switch occured (unless you prepare 12 gimmicked bills and can tell which one to switch it with -_-)

Difficulty: 1 Requires no slights, just a simple switch that's quite easily done.

Overall: 9/10; I'm going to have to go spend another $25-35 just to get this to work

Sorry, we'd had to delete your sig again as it's far too large. Can you please change it so it's no more than about 3 lines of text high?

could anyone PM me, I bought the dvd and I have a question regarding the euro bills

I really like this effect. It's pure genious and very very effective.
That IS however, if you can get it to work right.
The effect is a 10/10.
Hardness id say about a 4.
It has some sleights but isnt THAT difficult and he gives you very good excuses to pull them off (where nothing looks 'wierd" or suspicious) If you carry the right "thing" in your wallet, it can be completely promtu however, it DOES take preparation. The preparations have been discribed as "painstaking" by some but i think that putting forth effort and time to get a good reaction from a good trick is WELL worth it, so it doesnt bother me any and I consider perparations "fun". My suggest- If i ever am able to do this trick (by fixing the problem im having) im going to make sure that i do all the preparations at once. I suggest it beacuse you have to prepare before EVERY time you perform it...but you can prepare ahead of time to where you will have enough set up to perform it 20 times (much better).
Overall, Fraud is WELL WORTH the money and is an AMAZING and mindblowing trick and looks very very clean.


As for me-I'm having a certain technical difficulty that has made unable to even begin to perform and or practice it....
I love this trick and Im SO disappointed because i was excited to perform it and couldnt WAIT to get the DVD and after i watched it, i went right downstairs to begin preparing. I still haven't been able to figure out how to fix it!! Though Im so glad i know how it works (because it had me stumped when i watched the vid) i still feel like i wasted my money because i cant get it to work. I WANT TO PERFORM IT!

IF ANYONE HAS IT AND CAN HELP ME WITH THIS, PLEEEEEASE PM ME!!

There's my review~ (& complaining =X)
