Hi, watch my Youtube video! I'm performing Extreme Burn. What do you think about it? What should I practice on, how does it look? If you don't like it, then please tell my why . Comment and rate!

Soon i'll add a video of Prophet too

i think the handling is very akward especially when counting the bill and when you turn the bills over right before the change, and if you have both you should right a review comparing them or something.

Yeah, I agree that the "get ready move" is kinda bad, I saw that now. But I like the way I count the bills, because thats how I count the bills in real life. That how I count then bill when they are ungimmicked too Anyway, I will write a review But first I'll have to practice Prophet a little bit more Thanks anyway..

Count the bills by counting back towards yourself, not outwards. I know Richard does it sometimes, but I can't stand it. It will look much more natural considering counting towards yourself is how the majority of people actually count their money.

Now onto the changes. The first change, lessen the motion. You're making the motion much larger then needed. Use more of a flick of the wrist instead of the "whole arm smacking down" motion. You'll still need some arm movement , but the wrist should do the most of the work. The motion should range approximately 6-8 inches above the "catching" hand.

The second change, it shouldn't look like your folding the bills. It should look like you are just slightly brushing across them. Use the tip of your finger(s) on the edge of the bills and let them cascade off one at a time.

The "get ready" was already mention so other than that, it looked pretty good. I would practice some more and smoothen it out before taking it out of the house though.

THANKS! I will practice on what you have said and then i'll make a new video and maybe it looks better, anyway I had some great reactions from it today

 

[Dave Wiltrout]

That's great that you got some reactions from it, but I'd still recommend smoothing at all the kinks for a little while longer before showing anyone else.

Remember, just because you can do the trick, doesn't mean you can do it with consistency and if you can't perform it with consistency it will catch up to you if don't give it the time it deserves. Practice, practice, practice. When you think you're ready, you'll be half way there to being ready to perform it.

That's good to hear you're enjoying it so far though.

Yeah, totally agree with Dave. If you own both Prophet and Extreme Burn, try putting them together and see what is working for you. I personally use Extreme Burn gimmick because of the variety of changes you can do. I use the way Tom create his gimmick allowing you to change bill from face to face instead of face of the 5 to a back of a 1. It just never seems to make sense for me. Check out prophet and see how gimmick is instructed. It just seems more visual. Keep practicing! Thanks for sharing to us.
