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 look to your enthusiastic viewers. You pull out a bill, any bill will do, but I advise using merely a dollar, as you will be cutting it in half. You elucidate to the mob that you have just discovered some powerful money magic from the gods of fortune, and you are going to give a exhibition. You pull out a dollar bill, and a pair of scissors.

As the swarm looks on eagerly, you cut the dollar bill in half. You hold each half up independently for all to see, and with some magic words, and perhaps a flourish 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 ploy. Before, you’ll want to cautiously prepare both bills. You take each bill, and delicately coat 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 carefully together. When you cut through each bill, you will have two halves that are linked by the rubber cement. So when you open up each half, they will seem 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 rehearsal, so make sure you practice with some regular paper. Of course, if you don’t like the idea of cutting actual money in half, you can always use stage money, or monopoly money. Also it’s a respectable idea to talk a good game prior to and after the trick. Another good idea is to hurriedly put both bills back in your pocket, where you have two more indistinguishable bills waiting, should anybody ask to examine them. This works great at parties or bars, where people are cozy and having a good time. Have fun with this.
