 1029 Devil Dollar eManuscript - Berland - Acrobat PDF 4.95
Without a doubt, this is one of the best and most convincing methods for the apparent burning of a signed borrowed bill. And you can set up the effect to work with virtually any denomination US bill or international currency note. Here's the effect. A bill is borrowed from anyone in the audience. The owner of the bill signs or otherwise marks it, so he will be able to identify it is the same bill later. Next, the bill is folded and placed inside of an envelope – not just an ordinary envelope, but a window envelope. The kind of envelope used to mail invoices and statements, as well as to return bill payments. By placing the bill in this envelope, the audience can see the bill through the clear, glassine window right up until the moment the envelope is destroyed by setting it ablaze. As a result, they are completely convinced the spectator’s bill has been destroyed and astonished when the original marked bill is later produced from a cigarette, cigar, lemon, sealed envelope inside of a wallet, etc. Envelopes, if needed; are available by mail.
