Instant Money

Blank paper is shown and then changed into banknotes, as quick as a flash!

Secret: The key to this trick is in the preparation. Take the time to follow the instructions carefully, so you can perform it correctly.

You will need the ‘Instant Money’ packet containing the group of ordinary banknotes, the group of blank papers and the gimmicked, extra-long bank/blank note. This fake note needs to be folded as shown.

Study this image and you will see that the two folds are exactly lined up where the blank paper meets the printing on each side.

Line up the group of blank papers on top of the blank section of the gimmicked note. Fold them all in the same place as the crease in the gimmicked note.

Turn the whole packet over and line up the group of banknotes on top of the printed section of the gimmicked note. Again, fold them all in exactly the same place as the crease in the gimmicked note.

Unfold the blank side of the packet, keeping the banknotes hidden, folded underneath. The banknotes are held against your left fingers as you spread out the blank papers.

You can show all but the bottom paper on both sides if you wish, as you display that all the papers are blank.

Square up the papers and fold them toward you. Now grip the folded end of the blank papers with your right thumb on top and fingers underneath.

In a fast, smooth motion, flick the packet forward and away from you, so that your fingers end up on top and your thumb underneath. This will bring the printed banknotes into view and the blank papers to the bottom.

You must flick them fast enough that the banknotes unfold as the packet is turned over. You can now spread out the printed banknotes to show that the blank paper has transformed. The moves can be repeated to change the notes back again!
