Promotion by Kyle Purnell is an open and visual borrowed bill change - but the bill is signed by the spectator. I personally haven't come across a signed bill change before, so this got me excited when I saw the trailer. Here are my thoughts on Promotion.
The method for this is actually really clever. It is practical and you can keep it in your wallet at all times. The bill can be signed, but you will need a certain type of pen so that you can "reset". The gimmick is easy to use and it really is as visual as it is in the trailer.
You get a DVD and 6 "gimmicks" that can be used to create the Promotion gimmick. They are very strong and will last you forever, however you only get enough to make one gimmick, so if you want to make another one, you will have to destroy the bill gimmick you have made, in order to recover those gimmicks.
There are multiple routines given, which use the promotion gimmick or concept. As well as a bill change, there is a card change, a card to bill, a card transpo, etc.
The DVD isn't very well produced. The lighting was off, the camera was way too far away to see what was going on, there were even dogs barking in the background at one point. The instructions given weren't very clear at times either, and the presenter was incredibly bland. The card colour change looked great, but he doesn't teach this even remotely well enough so that you can perform it.
I really liked the idea of a signed, borrowed bill change and this is really clever. The method works and this looks great. The DVD is terrible, but if you have patience and can sit through it, you will have a crazy visual bill change in your arsenal that you will love and use. 8.5/10
