I clicked the link but it said the video was unavailable in serious looking red writing. Have you added it recently? Maybe it takes a while to go on there?

Happened to me sometimes after you upload it, it takes like 1 hour for the red text to go away.

it's workin now

Looks like it's comming along really well, just keep working on the transformation to get it a little bit smoother.

Agreed. Nice job though, couldn't understand you during the first little bit don't matter though.

it is quite hard to get it smooth. it is 2 dollar window form penguin magic. when i bought it i found out that the notes needed to be the same size AGAIN! so i improvised...and it's hard to get it smooth because of the bold difference between the colours.

Nice job. Like I mentioned to precakan in another thread, you need to watch how you cover the bill during your handling. During both changes you block the view of the bill, which breaks up the flow of the change.

One thing I'm curious about is your quite obvious get-ready before the change. The particular effect you're building off of shouldn't require any kind of get ready. It may stem from the variation you made to the handling of the change - but it looks like you're "picking" at the fake notes - which doesn't make sense.

On a personal level, why not alter this routine to produce to 5 pound notes, instead of one 10 pound note? Don't get me wrong - the change is very cool and magical, but your patter line about the bills being fake would logically conclude with the change to two 5 pound notes. To me, that's the logical climax to the effect. However, if you like it this way, stick with it.

Work on keeping the handling more open and in full view and the fiddling bit. Once you have those down, the effect will be great. Great job.

To me it just looks very dodgey how you've folded the notes in full view all the time and then cover them before the transformation. It looks like you're doing something tricky at that point.

Still, it's a nice trick and your patter is very good, I like that.
