Just Passing Through
I reviewed CashCard earlier (please click here to read my review) and I generally liked the effect.You fold a dollar bill around a playing card, which traps the card inside. The card is then slowly pulled through the bill as if it is melting through it. This one is visual, convincing and easy to learn and perform, although it's a fast and single-phased effect.
The card is gimmicked and may not be handed out afterwards, but the bill is entirely normal and can even be borrowed if you can find a bill of a certain condition (an old, rumpled bill won't work). At the end of the effect, the bill is still folded and may be handed out for examination. And with some work, you can switch the gimmicked card for a normal one.
Building a Trick
On this DVD, Feinberg offers thorough and easy-to-follow instructions. All you'll need are scissors, tape, playing cards and some dollar bills. The gimmick is not difficult to put together and there are no exotic parts to find and purchase, as was the case with Feinberg's "Write Angle."If you like the effect, the real question is whether to purchase the finished trick for $20 or this DVD for $24. This isn't one of those effects where you're probably going to wear out the gimmick in short order. So unless you're going to be performing this one constantly, you probably won't need multiple gimmicks.
MSRP: (US) $24
