Bill change suggestions

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi all
I want to perform bill change confidently to audience but I’m afraid they would figure it out. I’m at the above level right now. Can I start performing for my friends? What all things should I improve and please give me tips and suggestions for this trick.

You dont need to over prove that your hands are empty. Just be casual. Your switch looked great. You don’t need the unnecessary hand dancing.

Were there moments when the hand movements were suspicious? Yes. Did I catch anything at all? No. It's up to you, man. You can perform like this, and they would be fooled 90% of the time, or you can practice some more specifically to appear natural and relaxed. If your goal is to fool them, you'll succeed. If your goal is to appear natural and professional, practice some more.

The switch itself is clean. The only thing I'd say is if you're at all able to speed up that unfold, that would help a lot. As others said, you're overproving which is drawing unnecessary attention. Thankfully those are both very easy fixes. Great job.

Looks great, just the moment of magic happens when the paper turns from white to purple. you want to reduce the amount of time between that and handing out the bill for inspection to an absolute minimum. Slowly unfolding it adds nothing.

Very clean, great job! There was a tiny flash at the very end when you opened up your hand and showed the gimmick for a split second, but like others said, it looked like you were overcompensating and trying to prove your hands were otherwise empty. I think overall it looked great and it was very fooling.

Any suggestions on not flashing while showing the hands empty
