Whether you like these sorts of things or not, it's still cool to watch
Skip to 1:37 if you don't want to watch the intro to the guy.
If I learned anything from penn & teller and the tv show brain games it's that his intro video has suggestions in it.
The card trick is actually a really popular (and quite inexpensive) trick deck that you can buy from most magic shops. I used to have one when I was younger and into this stuff.
He performed it well though.
Haven't personally seen the card trick before, but I have seen the changing bank notes. Very well performed, but the tricks weren't original and they wouldn't hold up on Penn and Teller's Fool Us.

Imo tricks don't have to be original.
A good magician makes a person believe what he's doing is possible, makes it entertaining. Makes it seem like magic.
Even if professional magicians can't be fooled, well ok yea, generally the audience of a magician are people who don't know much about magic, want to learn more, etc.
He should save any original tricks for a critical time in the competition to give him that little boost to the front.
Simon looks like the single most dumbfounded man on the planet.

Fair enough, I'm just hoping he does come out with some original tricks or at least less common ones. He certainly has a good stage presence, and he's confident with the moves, but it's a lot more interesting to the magic enthusiasts when you don't already know what moves to look for. As you said though, he's largely performing for an audience that doesn't know much about magic, so I wouldn't expect a whole lot more than what he gave. Just hoping.
Someone tell me how.

The one in the video is something Dynamo does, and I'm not entirely sure what it's called.

Quite possibly a different method, certainly much less practiced, but achieves the same effect. Essentially he's concealing the other bill, which is folded already, and when he folds the first bill the second one is sitting right behind it. So he just unfolds the concealed bill.
I don't know how he managed to do the money bill trick, but I think how can anyone be so amazed at what is basically a flipbook animation using cards instead of, well a flipbook?
And it was not even something he made himself, wow. I did those things back in school, easy as hell.
