Prophet vs Extreme Burn 2.0

[Tynman]

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone can give me some information about Prophet. It seams really interesting and visual. I also wanted to know how you think it compares to Extreme Burn 2.0 by Rich Sanders. EB2 is an amazing effect but the gimmick you have to make is finicky to make. Not to difficult but hard to make right. Is Prophet hard to make as well?

i think that ex2 is better. the gimmick for prophet is just about the same. also eb2 i think is easier to do. and the change is just as visual if not more so.
stick with eb2

I like Prophet a lot. I don't know the gimmick for Extreme Burn but for Prophet you only destroy like 2 bills to make the gimmick. (That's not exposure right?) And prophet is really easy to do and fun to perform. I watched videos of Tom Isaacson doing Prophet and Richard Sanders doing Extreme Burn and I think prophet is a little more natural. But the decision is really just personal preference

Watch a video of each one and see which one looks better to you.

And remember with bill changes like that, you never need to hand out the bills. Why in the hell would you hand out a hundreds to your spectator
Just a tip
Happy magic

Thanks guys

@Blindside, I have Extreme Burn and it is great and can be done many different ways and always looks visua

I think I'm going to stay with EX2 for now and save the money for the upcoming DG projects

Hi, quick question, I just purchased prophet and I love it, but are the bills destroyed? For instance, if you no longer wish to perform it and want all your bills back in "able-to-spend" condition is this possible given the gimmick application method that isaacson uses?? Thanks.

I use DST instead of Rubber Cement for my gimmick.

Ahh..
Ok cool that never occurred to me! Thanks! And that works well? Performs well and easy to remove with no major bill damage?

You have to be very careful with removing the DST or you will tear the bill. There are some tips online and products you can order to easily remove off the glue if it's really stuck to the bill.
