![]() It’s not something that makes sense in the “It must have been sleight-of-hand” world. This botched reappearance of the bill is one of those things I love that makes perfect sense, but only if you presuppose a world where a bill really could vanish and rematerialize. That’s why I wanted to try it out with you.” I still haven’t perfected some aspects of the trick. When the bill rematerializes, if you don’t have complete focus on it, it can get really screwed up. It depends on when they uncrumple the bill and how much attention they’re paying to it.īecause, you see, when they eventually un-ball the bill and look at it, it looks like this. They will either immediately say, “What the hell happened here?” Or it may take them longer to notice. The RepĪt some point, depending on the situation and how much they’re focused on the bill itself. But even if you don’t have access to it, you’ll figure something out that works, as far as how to do that moment as a stand-alone thing. Supporters can read the details of my handling and tips for this effect in the first newsletter. I then do that phase from from Petty’s Chop where the bill disappears from my hand and appears under the cup in their hand. I take the bill from earlier and crumple it into a ball. But it’s more accurate to say it dematerializes and rematerializes.” “When it works it looks like something vanished and reappeared. I mention that I’ve been practicing something. I’ve been doing this one phase on its own for a few months now.Ī little while after the failed prediction (anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes-I do this trick at a cafe/bar/restaurant ) I will ask for their help with something else I’ve been working on. And it’s quite difficult to come up with any explanation for what happened. I feel it gets lost in Craig’s full routine. It’s too good to just be shoved in a long multi-phase, cup and ball type trick. For those who don’t have that, there is a phase where a dollar that’s been rolled into a ball disappears and “materializes” under an empty cup that’s overturned on the spectator’s hand. I highlighted this phase in the first issue of the Love Letters newsletter. ![]() Part two is a single phase using Craig Petty’s Chop gimmick. That trick is a work in progress,” I say. It’s Abraham Lincoln without his hat or his beard, and with the word ‘Elvis’ written next to him.” I ask them to name a number between 1 and 100 I say I’m going to predict which one they will randomly choose. I tell my friend I have a list of 100 famous people on my phone. I write something on it with a Sharpie and set the bill, writing-side down, on the table. In Part 1, I borrow a bill from a spectator and say I’m going to make a prediction on it. But I’ve put together a few different pieces that work well together to give us a very strong trick, with a crazy Rep, and an impossible souvenir. The body of the trick isn’t something I came up with. It has one significant drawback, which is why almost no one besides me will do it. I have a really strong trick to talk about today.
