Bill Switch!

Fin · 08-21-2011, 05:23 AM

Here's a not very polished vid I did the other night of the classic bill switch. Now that I've finally got myself a TT this has replaced "Two Dollar Window" which was the first trick that I used most often on people a few months ago when I started getting into magic. It served me incredibly well and everyone loves it, but the classic switch as shown in this video is so much better because you can take a spectators note, change it, then hand them the result for full inspection. "Two Dollar Window" does not allow this. This video is an early one so excuse the slow fumbling handling. I'm improving this with practice.

A little fiddling there with 'the-thing-that-must-not-be-named' (

) but, if that is sped up, then it looks really good. I didn't catch you performing the actual change, which is good

Get da ladies wit' that!

Thanks Albert. Totally agree on the fiddling. I can't wait to get it so smooth that it looks alot more open. I also forgot to show the hands cleanly empty in between stages, which allows you to show BOTH hands COMPLETELY clean at various stages, depending on where the "magic part" is. It's great. This now means that I have not one but two.. magic parts

I didn't see anything dodgy there Fin. Nice one.

Afterthought: Cool chair by the way
