monstermagicshop says...

Alex loves this visual transposition effect, where a folded, paperclipped card visibly changes into a bill (and vice versa). The routine cleverly starts as an ambitious card sequence, naturally introducing the props before the climax.

penguinmagicshop says...

A hyper-visual card-to-bill transposition that 'looks like CGI.' Tyrrell’s tweaks elevate the effect, and Nick highlights its practicality—fitting in a wallet while delivering 'monster reactions.'

The climax, where the objects visually pop into each other's place, is designed to leave spectators (and even the performer) stunned.
