Man I love that effect.

When i get some more money I really must buy that.
And you did it very well :D

Kudos!

You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism

Thanks! :)

What I like about Andrew Mayne is he doesn't charge huge amounts of money for his DVDs. Ghost Bills, for example, you can pick up for about £11. Compare that against many other 'one trick DVDs' which sell for almost triple that price.

It's a nice little routine but not one that I use often, despite it being impromptu if you can borrow a couple of notes.

I found that it gets the specs puzzled but it's not a jaw dropping effect. Maybe it's just me so I'd be interested in what other think.

Worth the money thugh as you can't go wrong for £11

I think it does look good, can you do it with just uk money, or do you have to use a us doller?

Thanks!

You can do it with British money but for certain reasons it doesn't work as well. It does work however. I find that a Dollar bill with a £5 or £10 note is a great combination.

it also works well with bus tickets, receipts and rizla papers if you draw on them... :wink:

that's if you want to get extra close to your spectator... :oops:

in fact it can work on alost everything if given thought and the right approach.

An empty packet of walkers cheese & onion and another packet of a different flavour will work just as well :lol:
