Obie O’Brien was best known as the organizer of “4F: The Original Close-Up Magic Convention” but most of the magic he performed was for family audiences and in restaurants. One of his favorite routines to perform in both venues was his handling of Larry West’s Passing The Buck which he later marketed as Big Bucks.

The routine revolves around a conflict between two people who are trying to out cheat each other.

It begins with four large ten-dollar bills which are miscounted as eighty dollars. The four ten dollar bills are then shown to have changed into a ten, a twenty, a fifty, and a hundred-dollar bill for a total of $180!

►US Edition: This set of bills was newly designed and manufactured for this routine. They look identical to United States currency and were printed on thick cardboard that was coated with a high-gloss UV finish.

►Canadian Edition: This set comes from the Obie O’Brien estate, was manufactured around twenty years ago, and sold at his lectures. Since Obie was Canadian, he preferred using Canadian money and this set consists of 10, 20, 50, and 100 Canadian dollars. The bills were printed on thick paper and then laminated. Although they look good the print quality is not as sharp as current standards.

►Euro Edition: This set comes from the Obie O’Brien estate, was manufactured around twenty years ago, and sold at his lectures. Since Obie performed and lectured at many European conventions, he made a set using Euros. The set consists of 10, 20, 50, and 100 Euros. The bills were printed on thick paper and then laminated. Although they look good the print quality is not as sharp as current standards.

Comes complete with the custom-made large bills (9”x4”) and access to an online video tutorial by Obie O’Brien and Meir Yedid. Only sleight used is the Elmsley Count.
