- Phoenix may be the best bill penetration and restoration released to date. You are able to actually puncture the dollar bill and then restore it back to its original state and hand it out to the spectator. There are no switches, no magnets, no gimmicked pens and the bill can be given to the spectator to keep. A real masterpiece.
This is released through Theory 11 and can be found at most major magic retailers.

"Wake up babe, a new Fiddlin Jonny vid just dropped"
You are too kind. I think after watching the fiddle tune again I wish I had practiced more. But I think you can expect to see more rags from this channel. Thanks my friend.
Great Review ! Gonna add this to my buy list !
Hello Jeffery, thanks for being here and hope you really enjoy Phoenix. By the way I have enjoyed watching some of your performance videos on your channel. For folks reading comments, go check out Geofferydove's channel, some great magic over there. Take Care.
Hi Jonny and thanks for the review that I'm hearing/seeing for the 1st time. Thanks for the demo too!
I'm going to check out the trailer.
Hi Randy, Yes go watch some of those teasers as I think they give a pretty good idea of what it looks like in the real world. Thanks so much for being here.
Thanks for the review! Going to get it now :)
Thanks for watching Wollyninkas, I hope you enjoy. Have a great day.
Great seeing it performed to DC in Hanson’s live performance….yours was pretty good as well 😊😉👊🏼
Ah you are too kind but lets be fair, Hanson's performance is about 100 times better than mine, and filmed better, but at least I have my amazing good looks going for me, so that helps some. 🤣🥸😉
@@fiddlinjonny So sleight of handsome lol!
Sending the usual happy vibes your way good sir! :)
Hello my friend and appreciate the good vibes. Sending you them as well, and great to hear from you.
Thanks for a fun view! Greetings from Cape Breton, home of the worlds largest fiddle!
Yo RockGiant, I hope you know how much I love Cape Breton fiddle playing and style. I need to make a trip there sometime and check out the worlds largest fiddle. Take care and thanks so much for being here.
Hi Jonny, excellent review: thorough, thoughtful, informative, candid, and enjoyable! You've excited me with this video to where I plan to go to Theory11 and purchase this! Thanks so much for all you do! Your friend, David
Hello David. I hope you are doing well my friend. Thanks so much and hope you know I appreciate the kindness.
A wonderful review 😊😊🎵🎶🤘
Hey Robert, Great to hear from you and hope you are doing well. I have been enjoying your content on Instagram. Keep the great performances coming.
@fiddlinjonny Thanks for asking. Not to bad. Still dealing with some elbow pain and hip pain. It's tough getting older. Enjoy your comments on TH-cam too. 😊👍😊😊😊👍🎵🎶🎵🪄✨️
@@RobertBallMagician It is tough getting older. This morning I had more aches in my joints than usual and wondered if it is this bad now what will it be like when i'm 80. Hang in there and glad to hear you are on the mend.
Got it. Haven’t received it yet. How confident are you lighting wise in giving it out with just one gimmick rather than using two the way they recommend for a souvenir. Thx. Great review!
Hi Brent, this may be one of the best questions so far. So this is my opinion and I suspect others will disagree with me. Theoretically I believe the tutorial is correct in that having two gimmicks on the bill should hide the method better than just one, but with that said I have not found my audience to notice that the most of mine are a single gimmick on the bill. And that is even under close inspection. So my personal preference is just one gimmick on the bill but if I intend to do the penetration twice on the same bill I would do that. I hope that helps and perhaps you already have the gimmicks in your hand at this point and can see what they look like on the bill. I hope that helps and thanks for asking a great question.
Loved the fiddle tune Jonny and this review has whet my whistle to definitely purchase this if it eventually releases in UK banknote format, although all our banknotes in UK are becoming polymer now so might consider the Euro version .Cannot believe channel is in its 4 th year 😊
Hey John, I too can not believe it is four years either. You are one of my first folks to comment on my reviews and so you hold a special place in my TH-cam journey and eternally grateful for your continued support. One of the things I did not realize when I started this channel was the number of new people I would meet through the chat who I now consider friends even though I have not met in person, and you are one of those folks. Always love hearing from you and grateful you are here. Take care my friend and now we look forward to the next four years and see where it all goes.
Ah crap I'm Canadian I won't be able to do this. Thanks for the review though!
I think it would be great if they came up with a Canadian version. Thanks for watching.
Excellent Review Sir, can it be available in Indian Currency.
Hello Santosh, this is a good question and I can not say my answer is 100% accurate but I did a little research into what Indian paper money is made of and American currency and it appears that there is a lot of similarity in the materials used to make the paper money. So with that knowledge my Guess is that it would probably work. However I can not guarantee it. You might reach out to Hanson Chien's team and also ask them as they may have a better answer than I do. I do not know what the surface look and feel of the Indian Rupi is so I am not confident how well it would be hidden on the currency. I wish I could be of more help but that is my thoughts for now. Thanks so much for watching and asking. Have an awesome day.
Hi Jonny, This is exactly the kind of trick that i would love to do, but in England we have those hateful polymer notes. (They're slippery so i can spend them quicker).
All the best my friend ..... I see your moustache is just about doing "loop-da-loop" now. Rock and Roll 😊
Hey Gary, Great to see you brother. I hope that they do develop a method for the Polymer bills as that would be great. Thanks for noticing the stache. I have been letting it go a bit and I think I may need to give it a little trim, but I am aiming for more loopty loop. Take care my friend.
Great review and performance. I’ve seen a few performances thus far and while it’s amazing that it works, it just looks like u have to work way too much to heal the hole.
Hi Eric, Thanks for this comment because I must admit that after editing my video and watching my demo I too walked away with a feeling that there is a lot of time repairing that hole. I think I can probably make it a little faster but it is a moment where I think it loses some momentum. Thanks for the comment and I agree with you and is an astute observation. I don't think it will change from me not performing it but I will see if I can make some improvements from a performance perspective. Take care and thanks so much for being here and adding to the conversation.
Have to line up the gimmick with the pen?
Yes you do need to make sure that the gimmick and where you pierce the bill are lined up properly but to be honest that part is really easy. I hope that is helpful.
Any pen work????
Yes as long as it is sharp enough to penetrate a paper bill. You can also use keys, knifes, or any other sharp object. I hope that helps.
Great review but it will cost you a little more if you give the dollar away at the end will it not.?? That would make the trick stronger.
Hey Chet, I hope you are having a great weekend. Yes sir you are correct it will actually be an additional dollar if you hand out the bill and that is something to consider. Thanks for being here and adding to the conversation.
Shame I'm in the UK where it's all polymer notes. Great review though.
Thanks Mexie, I hope you are doing well. If they can create a polymer bill version then it will be even more golden. Thanks for watching.
Wouldn’t it cost 2.36 per proformance?
50$/32=1.56$ per performance
@@Finger_Lock_ so 2.56 per performance there’s a real bill an a gimmick
David you are correct that if you hand out the bill then yes it is $2.56 per performance. But when I perform this at gigs where there is a tip jar, I load up my tip jar with dollar bills that are already gimmicked. When someone comes over to my performance area I pull one of the bills out and perform it for them and then put the dollar back in the tip jar and they end up putting more money in my tip jar, so in essence I am making money every time I perform it but this will obviously not work for the casual performance. Thanks for making the point and it is well taken. Thanks for being here.
@@davidczarnecki3846 a bill with the hole can still be used or exchanged in the bank for a non damaged dollar bill
@@davidczarnecki3846 You can still pay with the dollar or change it for a new one in the bank
What you have friends? How much do you pay them? Or are they your husbands friends you tag in on (or wifes) . Keep the weekly uploads happening
This is a great question and I am glad you asked it. They are all paid actors to appear as if they are my friends. 🤣🥸☘️
Well then they must be desperate for work if you got them in for work. You should have got better ones to do the job
@@luckyphil6517 I may need to hire you as my "friends".
@@fiddlinjonny I don't think you have that much money for you to hire me. You have to pay millions
Ignition does the same thing, a hole is put in the bill with a key, and you see it happen, the key is ripped out of the bill, and you see it happen, and the bill is handed out for inspection. No refills, the key will last forever, you get two keys, one normal one gimmick. No bad lighting, no bad angles.
Angel you may have brought up the best bill penetration and restoration plot that uses a different method but still the same effect. I must admit I love Chris Smith's Ignition release for all the reasons that you mention and is organic, everyday object approach. For the method that Chris has developed I think it is probably the best with his gimmick and method. But this uses a different method and is a real penetration of the bill. I think that has a slightly different effect on the spectator when they can really see that the bill is genuinely penetrated by the sharp object. I know it may be quibbling around the edges as to which is better. I would say at the end of the day our spectators probably have the same experience but with just different methods and then it just comes down to ones personal preferences. Thanks for leaving the comment and mentioning Chris Smith's product as I can not argue with you in that it is a great release, effect and method. Thanks for leaving the comment and adding to the conversation.
What a horrible trick, one of the worse bill penetration trick I've ever seen, and the routine, terrible.
Thanks for leaving the comment Angel. We may disagree but it is one of those things in the magic community where we don't always agree with one another but don't have to be disagreeable with each other. By the way I have enjoyed watching some of your content on your TH-cam channel and encourage those here in the comments to go check out your channel. Cheers and wishing you a great day.
You are a class act. It’s refreshing!
