Review

Two Dollar Window is a classic, amazing trick. The gimmick takes so little time to set up it's amazing, and the trick is so easy, that it only takes 3 or so hours of practicing to get it down to a TV-ready performance.
The tutorial is taught extremely well, and only takes one watch before you're ready to practice.

The gimmick can be used on anyone's bills, so spectator bills can be used, and returned without any suspicion. Palms and sleeves can be shown

The change from the 1 to the 2 itself is so visual that it fools the magician- spectators are blown away.
Bill magic is not as common as card and coin effects, so people may be less likely to know what to expect.

Cons: Two Dollar bills are hard to find- use 5's and a Ten.




Overall

A classic of magic taught well, gets reactions from specators like no others.

11/10
So simple, So powerful. everyone should know this to switch up a street magic act, get your mind out of cards and coins for street magic.
