Sometimes you have a bill and sometimes
you just want change. So we're just going
to use a little magic.
I wave to hand, snap the finger and there
you have it, change.
Change that you can count on.
Here's how to perform the trick. You need
two. Now I'm using a fake bill here but you
can use a real bill. But you're going to
have to cut it up.
So that's why I have this fake bill. This
is actually a giveaway
at my shows that I often use. And you
need two bills
because you're going to cut one bill
lengthwise here
in half. But lengthwise and this is
glued or taped here. I happen to use
double stick tape.
But what i've done with this half bill
here,
as you can see, there's a pocket so all I
had to do
was in the beginning, I just took the
coins and placed them
into the pocket These are American dimes -
they're the smallest U.S. coins and
they're very thin so that helps. If you
use a very thick coin
it's going to cause this to bulge out a
little bit.
Now you're ready to perform the trick.
You're going to have a little noise coming
from the coins as you can hear,
but all you have to do is just
handle the bill in a casual manner.
Show your hands clearly empty, you're not
holding anything, hiding anything behind.
Well you are
but it's hidden inside of this pocket
here.
So if you just hold it and turn it quickly,
nobody will will probably see the pocket.
Then you just turn it. Now the pocket of
course is
down at the bottom here so the coins
don't fall out.
You fold it up and then you do your
magic gesture. And then all you have to
do is
pour the coins out into your hand.
That is a production of coins from a
bill
with a little change.
Let's make some money with some magic. I
have here
a 10 dollar
bill.
Now how can magic make you
any money? Well, let me show you. I have
here
the "bowl of mystery." I guess that's what
i'll call it.
I wave the hand and snap the finger and check it
out, something magic's happened. It's not
apparent yet
but here we have a
100 dollar
bill.
And that is making magic with money.
Here's how you do the trick. You need two
bills, different bills. I'm using a 10 dollar
bill and a 100 dollar bill.
And inside of the bowl is a piece of
tape,
double stick tape right here at the
bottom.
Let's see, right there.
Take your hundred dollar bill, the second
bill and fold it up and
place it into the bowl
waiting. You have your first bill,
the $10 in my case.
Fold it up. Now watch my hand.
You'll notice the bill is right here so
what I do is I take my hand to grab the
bowl
and it's hidden. The bill is hidden under
my hand. So I can actually show it
pretty empty now. I take the bill and
place it here on the bottom and stick
it
on the bottom. Right there. So now it's
stuck and spectators don't know that. Of
course, there's a second bill
right here. And I just turned it over,
dropping the bill underneath. Do the
magic gestures, lift the bowl
and remove the bill.
And you've performed a miracle.
Here's how to perform the bill to card easy magic trick.
You're going to have to create a gimmick. It starts
off with a bill
and this is something I used in my magic,
so that's why I have a
a bill with a picture of me on it.
Here's the gimmick. You need two playing
cards.
The gimmick is two playing cards. This
one stays flat and
this one is bent in half and folds like
this. You can imagine that this is just
the backs of the playing cards here.
And then you fold a bill or some play
money. If you want to
use a real bill you might have to adjust (cut) a
real bill to the size of the card.
So that's why it's easy, it was easier
for me to use something that wasn't real
because i didn't want to trim a real
bill. I don't have money to burn like
that.
So you start out with the bill. The bill
gets
folded in. As you cover with your hand
you turn over everything and while you
turn it over,
I'm actually turning the flap up.
And then I can turn it like this and it
appears to be
a normal card. So anyway, once again, it's
here, turn it over
and already
you've made the change from a bill into
a playing card.
