The Official Spam:
The DVD:
Layout- The layout of this DVD is very easy to follow. It's simple, and the menus are nice.
Intro- The intro shows the full Extreme Burn demo which can also be seen on Richard's website. Richard then welcomes you and gives you a little history on the effect.
Creating the Gimmick- Here, Richard shows you step by step how to make the gimmick. He makes one along with you so it is super simple to understand.
The Changes- In this section, Richard performs and then explains each of the nine changes. He gives more than one full performance for each change.
Extras- Richard now tells you about using different currencies and magazine clippings. He then talks about spending the money. He teaches you different techniques on how to count the bills depending on what currencies you are using. He then gives you some subtleties on one of the changes.
Final Thoughts- Richard thanks you for buying this DVD. Then there are credits.
Teaching:
Richard teaches how to make the gimmick and how to perform each change expertly. He goes with you step-by-step making it super simple. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.
The Gimmick:
This is the same gimmick as Pat Page's EZ Money with a little something extra. The something extra makes all of the changes easy to do. I only had to add a little something to my gimmick because I already had one made because I used to perform Heiny500 and Slow Burn.
The Changes:
Smackdown Change- In this change, Richard show the bills, and sort of tosses them in his hand. They instantly change. This change can be seen in the demo many times. It's my third favorite change.
Flicker Change- In this change, Richard holds the bills so half of the bills are visible. He then flicks his wrist, and all of the bills change. This can also be seen on the demo. I don't personally like this change, but it does look great.
Twister Change- This is my second favorite change on the DVD. It's awesome. Richard shows the bills, and slowly twists them around. As they twist, the bill change. This can be seen on the demo.
Gravity Change- This is a great change, but very similar to Heiny500. Also, this can be accomplished without the special gimmick. This is the second change Richard performs in the RealTime demo video on his site.
Unfolding Change- This is an okay change, definatly one of the worst on the DVD. It's not very good because the bills need to be folded.
Vertical Turnover- This change is the same as the Twister Change but done vertically. It's very good for stand-up.
Instant Change- This is another change that isn't very good. It requires the bills to be folded, and doesn't have the impact the other changes do.
Slow Burn- This change is awesome. You rub your hands over the bills, and they slowly change. This was a separate DVD, so if you search Slow Burn you should be able to find a demo.
Underground Change- Here it is. The best change on this DVD. I can't explain it, the bills just change. It's the first change Richard does in his RealTime demo on his site. This change looks a lot better in person than it does on camera. A lot better.
Extreme Burn vs. Prophet:
I don't own Prophet, and I don't plan on getting it. You can do the Prophet change using the Extreme Burn gimmick. You can not, however, do the Extreme Burn changes with Prophet. Extreme Burn is a 90 minute DVD with 9 incredible changes. Prophet is a 32 minute DVD with only 2 changes. Which seems like a better deal to you?
Overall:
Overall, I give this a 10/10. If real magic was real, this is what it would look like. This is the final word on all multiple bill switches.
The video is now made of all the changes! The quality is not amazing, but everything is still very easy to see. This is my first time editing a video, and it took a long time. You better like it. Here it is http://youtube.com/watch?v=ri1oOkJ33Nk.
