BillFold by Kyle Marlett – Behind the Curtain Magic Reviews

Ben Williams takes a long hard look at Billfold by Kyle Marlett. What it’s REALLY like to perform and how to get the best out of it.

With Billfold by Kyle Marlett, you can morph credit cards, playing cards, candy wrappers, tickets, and checks into real currency!

The objects melt away and change into bank notes without any perceptible finger movement.

Many effects are possible with “Bill Fold” but this one is a favorite: you wager a £10 that you will be able to find the spectator’s card. You place the £10 in her fist. Then you reveal the WRONG card. “I guess you get the £10,” you say as you change the playing card INTO a £10 note! When she opens her hand, she discovers that the £10 she was holding has changed into her folded selection.
Use ANY currency-even plastic money.
The most attractive feature of “Bill Fold” is the idea that you will learn to customize this trick to any small paper object that you like. Use YOUR ticket stub, or a client’s business card, or anything you want… and change it into real money! Includes instructional DVD and pre-made gimmick.

We take a closer look at FALL by Banachek and Philip Ryan in this weeks MoM Behind the Curtain Magic Review

Fall is one of the most striking magic tricks you can do with a Sharpie pen. The pen is placed on surface, and covered with a glass or bowl if you wish. Now you concentrate and focus your ‘powers’ on the pen. Using your mind, you appear to make the pen fall suddenly to the ground. These types of PK pen tricks have been popular for years, but the pens have always had a few design and usage issues. Despite this, magicians such as Banachek have used these to great advantage. The FALL sharpie pen is a massive move forward in design, making this perfect for working magicians that need reliability.

The most notable improvement to the PK pen found in FALL is the ability to control the timing of the drop – making it take 15 seconds or up to 2 minutes depending on how much ‘acting time’ you want to have.
