 1036 Flash Bills eManuscript - Acrobat PDF 6.95
With a flick of the wrist, you transform several strips of blank paper – cut to the size of currency, into real bills. Originated by the late great Dutch magician, Fred Kaps, Flash Bills is powerful visual magic at its finest. Instead of blank strips, some performers use pieces cut from magazines or even a company’s brochure for trade show and sales meeting work. Or, you can even change one denomination into a larger one – ones into tens, fives into fifties, tens into hundreds! You get the idea. No difficult sleights, just an easily constructed gimmick that makes the magic possible. Works with non-US currency, too! Details »
