REVIEW OF PSYCHO BILLZ (I just purchased it)
The trick is actually pretty good. There are some angle issues you must work out. If you hold the bill lower than the spectator, you wont have a problem. I recommend this effect. There are no strings, no threads, no magnets, no heat, or wires. There is a small gimmick which you will have to make. Most people probably have this in there home already. I did. It costs about 3 dollars to get a hold of the material to make the gimmick if you don't already have it. It is a great idea, never before thought of, at least to my knowledge. Here is the order I would put illcenter.com's tricks starting with the best and ending with the worst.
1. From Nothing... Low cost gimmick ranging from 5-7 dollars definitely worth it. Some people may already have one. Jaw dropping effect
2. Psycho Billz... Very low cost gimmick, about 3 dollars Nice visual effect.
3. Fall... Small gimmick that costs about a dollar to make. Some other small supplies are needed to make the gimmick. Most people should have them.
4. Isolation...Just need a deck of cards Angle sensitive. Not for large crowds.
5. Solid...Not a very effective trick. I tried it on my grandmother, she is slow as it is, and she figured it out.
I don't have Intrusion or Canfuse yet. I think I figured out Canfuse, but I might buy Intrusion. I hope this list helps you in your purchases.

Psycho Billz could possibly be performed with one hand. It might be a little hard for you to get the gimmick in position, but you could always start out with it already in the position. I think a person with one arm could pull
Psycho Billz off with enough practice. I wouldn't have believed a person with one arm could shuffle cards, until I saw a foreign magician, can't remember his name, do it on TV. I'm sure you will be able to adapt a version to this trick.

Hey Mindfreak, I got tried of waiting for a review, so I bought it. Good idea dude. I used to make crazy looking crap like that when I was a kid. I would piss my parents off constantly by cutting this off, or bend this, or ripping this. But seriously, I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Thanks.
Dude, tell Kevin that he needs to stop putting the files in .mov format. I am not the only one who is having problems with playing the videos. Tell him to make them in two formats and give the buyer the option. Thanks
