The Paranormal Regrowing Money Trick

By Miles Sunkest

If you love doing up close magic tricks, this show stopper will entertain like no other. This magic trick is done with everybody's favorite thing, money. And because nobody will be able to guess how you did this incredible trick, your magical charisma will be through the roof. This does take a bit of practice and preparation, but it's well worth it.

Here's how the trick will seem to your ready viewers. You pull out a bill, any bill will do, but I suggest using merely a dollar, as you will be cutting it in half. You clarify to the throng that you have lately uncovered some dominant currency magic from the gods of wealth, and you are going to give a demo. You pull out a dollar bill, and a pair of clippers.

As the mob looks on breathlessly, you hack the dollar bill in half. You hold each half up individually for all to distinguish, and with some magic words, and possibly a brandish of your magic wand, with each hand you magically make each cut half grow into a new, complete dollar bill. You have just performed the ridiculous. You have cut a dollar bill in half, and each half has developed a new half, so now you have two dollars!

Here's the secret. Before, you'll want to cautiously prepare both bills. You take each bill, and gently swathe the center of each with a thin strip of rubber cement. Make sure to coat both sides. After you have finished covering each side with rubber cement, carefully dust the rubber cement with baby powder, or talcum powder.

When you pull out the "single" bill, it is in fact two bills placed narrowly together. When you cut through each bill, you will have two halves that are coupled by the rubber cement. So when you open up each half, they will look to be a single bill, when in fact it is two separate bills that are now glued together by the rubber cement.

This takes a bit of training, so make sure you rehearse with some regular paper. Of course, if you don't like the idea of cutting authentic money in half, you can always use stage money, or monopoly money. Also it's a decent idea to talk a good game before and following the trick. Another good idea is to hurriedly put both bills back in your pocket, where you have two more identical bills waiting, should anybody ask to check them. This works great at parties or bars, where folks are comfortable and having a good time. Have fun with this. - 2361
