The Delightful Regrowing Money Trick
This is a fantastic up close magic trick that is sure to baffle and confuse any audience. Because it uses everybody’s favorite thing, money, it is sure to be a hit at any party or social gathering. It does take a little bit of practice and preparation, but it will be well worth it when you see the stunned look on the faces of your audience.
Here’s how the trick will seem to your enthusiastic viewers. You pull out a bill, any bill will do, but I suggest using only a dollar, as you will be cutting it in half. You explain to the mob that you have recently discovered some potent money magic from the gods of plunder, and you are going to give a demo. You pull out a dollar bill, and a pair of shears.
As the mob looks on breathlessly, you cut the dollar bill in half. You hold each half up independently for all to perceive, and with some magic words, and maybe 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 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 arrange both bills. You take each bill, and tenderly swathe 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, cautiously dust the rubber cement with baby powder, or talcum powder.
When you pull out the “single” bill, it is in reality two bills placed closely 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 respectable idea to talk a good game previous to and subsequent to the trick. Another good idea is to rapidly put both bills back in your pocket, where you have two more indistinguishable bills waiting, should anybody ask to check them. This works great at parties or bars, where folks are tranquil and having a good time. Have fun with this.
