Easy to assemble, this trick includes everything you need to create both gimmicks for any of the listed currencies. You’ll receive three powerful routines along with numerous applications and variations. Whether performed discreetly in the Double Take routine or visually in the ambitious money routine, the transformation of the card into the bill is so impressive that your social media followers will think it’s a camera trick!

Double Take Effect: A spectator selects a card and places it back into the deck. The magician attempts to find it but reveals an incorrect card. He then offers to raise the stakes by showing a bill from his wallet, asking the spectator to hold it. If he fails to find the card, the spectator keeps the bill. The magician places the incorrect card under his foot and continues searching until he reveals that the selected card has vanished! When the spectator reaches into the wallet, they find their card instead of the bill, which is now under the magician’s foot. The magician then reveals the incorrect card, now reversed in the deck.

Ambitious Money Effect: A card lost in the deck magically rises to the top, transforming into a bill mid-air, and the selection ends up in the magician’s wallet.

Invisible Pickpocket Effect: With permission from Patrick Kun, the spectator holds onto their selected card while the magician puts the deck away. The magician pulls a bill from his wallet and hands the empty wallet to the spectator. He then takes back the selection, folds the bill, and places both into the wallet. After discussing pickpockets, he slides the playing card out, and with a flick of the wrist, the card transforms into a bill. The spectator opens the wallet to discover their selection inside. Combining bills and cards creates a double impact for your audience!
