yeah i own this video but i din really watch it . I personally think that American bill are all same in the way of color and size, only the number not same, so when they are doing some changing by using American dollar is good. But our country bill is different, we do not have the same color for all types of bill and changes might easy been seen if we din practice well.

Thanks for the information Nixdorf.Maybe I shouldn't buy this.I dont want to waste my money buying this trick and cannot perform it.

You might want to get Richard Sander's Slowburn. The effect is more visual and you can do it with almost any currency.

Can we use Richard Sander's Slowburn to change it to a bigger value bill because this trick is actually to change it to another currency.I already read some review on penguin magic and some of them said that both bill need(the original bill and the want we going to switch with) to be the same size. It might be difficult to find the bill that have the same size as our bill.

Yes, it is not easy to find bills that have the same size, but you can always cut the bills so that the 2 bills have the same size. =)

If we cut the bill,I,m sure it will look weird and maybe the spectator will ask why the bill have been cut.It will be difficult to hide it because after it change,most spectator want to see it closely.BTW,thanks for your idea.Maybe I can try it first.

I've always wanted to try Hundy 500 but our banknotes are made of plastic. :wacko:
This is JB Benn's (Mondo Magic) favourite trick and I remembered when he performed in Singapore, he nearly got caught. One of the spectator was saying, "Let me see that!" and fortunately Benn was able to hide all the notes in his pocket while saying, "No these are not yours, these are mine." I have no comments about his performance :P
He performed this really well in the U.S version though.
Demian (Indonesia) also performed this in one of his TV shows, he asked a 1-Rupiah note from this woman, and "mix" it up with four 1-Rupiah notes (saying that he doesn't have enough Rupiah and he wants to borrow an extra note from the woman). He turned them all into five 20-Rupiah notes and hand one of the 20-Rupiah notes to the woman, and he keeps the other four. He's generous alright.. Hehe..

Slowburn is angle sensitive though

Ahh.. that being said, then Australian currency also cannot be used. :mellow:

I have seen Gregory Wilson perform the Hundy 500 in person, close up. Really cool effect. His personal recommendation is not to buy it if you do not plan to use US currency OR are not creative enough to know how to adapt the effect using currency other than USD.
I have seen a NZ magician modify the effect using NZ currency very effectively, which is "plastic" money (like our RM 5 note material) and where currency notes of different denominations are of different colors. His method of course is his secret, so don't ask me about it, though he did share it.
I personally did not buy the effect as I think while it is good, it is not something I would use.
Wilson's foreign exchange (a related effect) is very nice and though I did not buy it either, I have seen the material and it is made of a special material (realistic as well) that will last a long time.

I've seen a guy using Australian note and Singaporean dollar...apparently the size of the bills are the same. not sure of which value though
