Richard Sanders - Slow Burn

Richard Sanders - Slow Burn

The DVD instructions make this a very easy trick to set up as you simply copy what he does on screen (using pause often). Now be warned, there are some awful jokes and ad libbing on this DVD but at the end of the day you learn how to make the gimmick and simply feel sorry for his sense of humour, hoping that it will return to him – one day!

That said Richard has made the whole vid in a live fashion so you really do see the step by step process of assembling the gimmick from start to finish. Theres no “heres one I made earlier” here!!

By the end of the DVD that’s it, you’re ready to go and you have a fantastic effect ready to blow people away.

With reagrds the 2 currencies to use I chose to go with US$1 bills and Canadian $5 bills but this was after a long period of deliberation with my currency exchange cashier at the travel agents. To avoid awkward questioning I made a gimmick using 2 similar but very different flyers. I then told them what I was looking for and showed them the trick so they understood. This not only broke the ice but they were also very eager to help as they wanted to see the finished effect with real money. So after looking at loads and loads of different currencies I chsoe US and Canadian out of personal preference.

By using currencies from 2 adjoining countries I use a patter about travelling from one country and crossing the border. Realising I only had the previous countires currency I transformed my money into the local currency. On my return to the border and return crossing I found myself in the reverse situation and so I transformed my money again and went about my business.

I give Richard Sanders – Slow Burn 9 out of 10. I would give 10 but the fact you cant hand EVERYTHING (you can hand out some bills) out for examination is the only drawback.
