Magician asks spec for a dollar and also brings out his own dollar. Magician asks spec to fold dollar in half and sign it. He also signs his own dollar. Spectator at a later point is holding a folded up dollar, and when unfolded it has both his own signature and magicians signature. I think I missed a step or two in performance, but that's the basic effect. Does this sound familiar? It's a really much better effect than my lousy description!

And I believe it may use a sw--i or n--l w----r gimmick. I don't think it's Super Sharpie, though, I have that one.

Hey Dooblehorn,

I havent heard of this commercially but your discription sounds awesome. Just brainstroming a bit here makes me think you could modify Eugene's Last Dollar(Eugene Burger/Patrick Murphy) with an "early" signature and come to the same ending. Maybe any further discussion shoud be moved to Secret Sessions. Looking forward to anybody elses thoughts on working this out. Thanks for sharing Dooblehorn!

UGH! Sorry for all the mis-spellings! Heres how it should read:

Hi, Barrett
Thanks so much for responding! Burger's looks like a true bill switch, if I understand correctly (difficult to find a detailed description of the effect)...

this is more like signature on two separate bills combine to the one bill in spec's hands...I'll keep looking!

If I understand the way you are describing it, it sounds like an Anniversary Waltz with money instead of cards, yes?

Dr J, actually that's right, did not think of that!

Where did you see this?

Could do a transpo with spec's signature appearing on a bill in your shirt pocket or vice versa -- or the bill held by spec has both signatures while yours has none... (sans gaffs - see Changeabill)

Motown, it was performed for me by a strolling magician at a restaurant
Conus, thanks, I will check out Change-a-bill

I wouldn't mind seeing it myself.

Actually, alas, it is nothing like changeabill
