Osaka Bills
Jahn Gallo
(Based on 1 review)
Jahn Gallo has been a full time magic entertainer for more than 25 years. Now, for the first time, he releases one of his favorite routines with bills.
The Osaka Bills was created 25 years ago together with a Japanese magician in Osaka. Since then, he has developed the routine to the final product it is today, performing it both on stage and close-up. This is a very visual production of bills, which instantly appear at the fingertips. You can easily produce up to fifteen bills without any extra gimmick!
The routine is easy to learn and has a heavy impact on any audience. A "Miser's Dream" with bills.

You only receive a DVD. That's all you need, supply your own bills. You can produce bills apparently from thin air.
Negatives: The reset is time consuming though very easy.
Positives: It is easy. Nothing is used except the bills you wish to produce. You can produce the bills one at a time or after producing the first bill, you can produce upto a half dozen at once. With a half hours practice you should have this fully mastered. It is very convincing and magical.
I often carry a set of bills ready to produce and produce them as I go to pay at a register. I believe a magician should be ready to perform at any time. Having a performance ready that is magical and logical to the situation is invaluable.
