Setup: All you need to get started is some rubber cement or a glue stick, six $1 bills, and six $5 bills. You can use bills of different values as long as you’re increasing the total value of the money. This trick can be easier than some other bill switches because it doesn’t require any thumb tips or special props to perform. You can even transform $1 bills into $100 bills using the exact same method taught here.

Ben Salinas walks you through the handling of the gimmicked bill. Most audiences never suspect you are even switching bills around. They want to believe the money is changing by itself. It’s important you carefully practice the handling of this slowly to improve before speeding up your movements.

Add this trick to any close-up routine using everyday items. Your audience will never guess how you made the bills transform. Watch more money magic courses on this platform: “Modern Coin Magic,” “Easy Coin Magic,” and “UnBILLievable Money Magic.”
