The Enchanting Regrowing Money Trick

By Miles Sunkest

Here's another great magic trick that never fails to baffle any audience. Because it's done with money, it will be sure to quickly and powerfully grab anyone's attention. This up close magic trick requires some preparation and some practice, but you'll surely find that it's worth it, as most people will not believe their eyes when they see this incredible trick.

Here's how the trick will seem to your keen viewers. You pull out a bill, any bill will do, but I propose using only a dollar, as you will be cutting it in half. You clarify to the crowd that you have lately discovered some potent cash magic from the gods of treasure, and you are going to give a demo. You pull out a dollar bill, and a pair of clippers.

As the swarm looks on excitedly, you slice the dollar bill in half. You hold each half up independently for all to see, and with some magic words, and perhaps a brandish of your magic wand, with each hand you magically make each cut half grow into a new, full dollar bill. You have just performed the impossible. You have cut a dollar bill in half, and each half has grown a new half, so now you have two dollars!

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

When you pull out the "single" bill, it is in fact two bills placed carefully together. When you cut through each bill, you will have two halves that are connected by the rubber cement. So when you open out 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 preparation, so make sure you prepare 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 good idea to talk a good game prior to and following the trick. Another good idea is to hurriedly put both bills back in your pocket, where you have two more duplicate bills waiting, should anybody ask to check them. This works great at parties or bars, where individuals are cozy and having a good time. Have fun with this. - 31879
