Magic Tricks

A quick background story about me: when I found out about this trick, I considered myself a card magician... And that was about it. But ever since I learned this trick, this has been my #1 go-to effect! Even more so than any card trick or mind reading effect, etc. This one has fooled laymen and magicians alike when I've performed it.

The major plus side to this trick is: not only does this trick use money (something that everyone can relate to and almost always carries on them... And they're bills, not coins, so even more people carry your props on them), but they're BORROWED props! This means that this trick is more personal than most tricks out there... aside from maybe mind reading and telling someone about something personal to the.

This is one of those tricks that are great because, not only can you have absolutely no props on you, but it's a reputation maker. In a close up situation, this can be one of the best tricks you can do. While Andrew Mayne teaches this trick done at eye level, from my recollection, he also teaches the handling done at waist level, which I feel is more natural. And at waist level, this trick can easily be done surrounded! And the only real sleight or misdirection used during the trick is done at the very beginning... right in front of the spectator! It goes right over their heads! In fact, sometimes I forget that I do the move myself. It's so natural.

In my opinion, this trick is something like a pen through bill trick, just better, because EVERYTHING is borrowed and is fully examinable. No funny moves. Nothing to hide or cover. Nothing to add on or palm out. And can be repeated if need be.

All in all, if I had to do or recommend one trick, this would be it!
