This is what I call practical magic!  You can carry the whole routine in your jacket pocket, it plays on any stage or in the living room, and it is a routine with undeniable audience appeal.

The Tommy Tucker patter line is still the best for laymen in my opinion. (about a guy who saw a magician count six bills, throw away three, and then he still had 1-2-3-4-5-6 bills, so he asks to see it again, still fooled, so he goes to the magic store and watches it there, etc etc, etc  In the end he admits that he never found out how the trick worked!)  

As you repeat the effect four times, the audience gets more and more involved.  The repetition plays like a build, not like a challenge, and that is what makes this great magic!   This set comes with five gimmicked bills, so you can extend the routine for one more repeat if desired.  (Most 6-Bill Repeat sets have only 4 gimmicked bills).

This version is a steal (if I must say so myself) because the bills are really nice reproductions of US $50 notes. They are the old style (small president) design, but still look great -- very realistic from a short distance.

Like most bill tricks, it takes practice to count the bills from hand to hand (because they are thinner than cards and so harder to work with), but the extra practice is well-worth the extra impact of doing the classic "repeat" routine with bills rather than cards.  Audiences are much more interested in money than cards!    To make these bills easier to work with, I will treat them with a very light application fo fanning powder -- it makes them slide smoothly and makes the counting much easier.  

A classic for a reason, and still one of magic's best bargains -- not many great stand-up effects for under $10 these days.  But this is definitely one!
