Have you been looking for the perfect ending effect for your card routine?

What about that perfect transitional effect between your card routine and your money routine?

Look no further because "Stacks" is the perfect solution to both questions.

Stacks is an extremely practical and commercial way to make money appear from a deck of cards.

Imagine having a deck of cards in your hand and it visually changes to a stack of money.

Single hand operation and super easy to do. It comes with everything you need inside the box.

You have to check out the trailer to see it for yourself.

This is obviously another one-trick DVD (with props), so there’s not a lot to say about the effect. A box of cards turns into a few bills. If that’s your thing, keep reading and I’ll give you the pros and cons.

The box is obviously heavily gimmicked. In fact, it’s very much a “some assembly required” project. You’ll just need some tape, two spare bills, a craft knife or small scissors and maybe 10 minutes of time. It’s a one-time setup and not hard at all.

There’s also two bonuses for having to build the feke yourself. The first is that you get to choose which hand you hold the deck with. The second is that you get to choose the denomination of the bills.

And the change, itself, is also quite easy.

Now for the warnings…

First, you cannot take the deck out of the box. This thing is a standalone unit. That means you’ll need to switch it or ring it in at an opportune time. Of course, as long as you’re not putting any emphasis on the card box (why would you?), ringing in the box is easy. The DVD even gives you a simple way to do this in performance. It’s one of those “switches” that may seem to be “too obvious” to a non-worker, but trust me: it’ll work just fine if you’re relaxed about the whole thing.

The other issue is that you’re going to have some angle issues. If the box remains in your hand the whole time, the bad angles are easily covered by minor shifts in body position.

But while you could technically set the box on the table, you’ve got about 180 degrees you need to consider. Again, if you’re not giving any attention to the box and your audience is mostly in front of you, you’ll be just fine.
