What you see on the trailer is what you get! Totally gimmickless change of bills. Kyle also includes a variety of changes to include his gimmickless version of Hundy 500, Heiny 500 and the slow burn change from EB 2.0. He has obviously put some thought into this. This will take a little practice for the handling (probably on par for the practice required to to perform the other gimmicked methods). Nothing knuckle busting or difficult. Kyle has also provided a practical method for handing out the bills.
The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is slightly harder to perform with bills that don t have exactly the same size this is a known problem that applies in many countries, also in mine - but overall I have to say Well done, Kyle. Although the effect is gimmickless, it is not completely impromptu as it does require a teeny, tiny bit of preparation you don t need anything but the bills for this prep and will take you less than a minute.
In addition to the step-by-step instructions, the book also offers tips and advice on presentation and showmanship. It emphasizes the importance of practice and encourages readers to hone their skills to create a memorable and entertaining performance. The tricks in this book range from simple and easy to more complex and challenging.

Reviews for "From Card Tricks to Illusions: Exploring the Variety of 400 Magic Tricks"
1. Emma - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "400 magic tricks". The book promised to have a wide variety of tricks, but most of them were very basic and boring. The few tricks that seemed interesting were poorly explained, making it difficult to understand and perform them correctly. Overall, I found the book to be a waste of money and would not recommend it to anyone looking for quality magic tricks.
2. John - 1 star - "400 magic tricks" was a huge letdown for me. The tricks were repetitive, and it felt like the author was just stretching the content to fill up the book. The explanations were often unclear and lacked detail, leaving me confused about how to perform the tricks. Additionally, the book lacked any innovative or mind-blowing tricks that would impress an audience. I regret spending my money on this book and would not recommend it to anyone serious about learning magic.

Many of the tricks were outdated and not relevant to modern audiences. The explanations provided were not thorough enough, requiring me to seek additional resources to fully understand the tricks. I expected more from this book and feel like there are better magic trick resources available.
4. Andrew - 1 star - I found "400 magic tricks" to be extremely basic and uninspiring. The tricks were mostly variations of common and well-known tricks, lacking any originality or creativity. The book also did not provide clear step-by-step instructions, making it hard to replicate the tricks effectively. I was expecting to learn some exciting new tricks, but this book did not deliver. Save your money and look for a better magic trick resource.
