Anyone know where I can find a video or dvd explaining Michael Ammar's 2-dollar bill trick. Saw it on TV recently, he shows a 2-dollar bill, splits it into two ones, then folds them up, making a 2 dollar bill again, showing both sides. Nice trick.

Thanks.

Oh yes...it is in one of his money videos as well as on another one..I've it somewhere here, but can't (sorry) recall in which one..

BUT, my main point in posting is my question:

Is it THAT strong a trick worth doing???

Why not do the newspaper/magazinesnips to bills,from Pat Page and also used by Fred Kaps..
I never fancied what I call *small time magic*..go for a bigger effect if possible, like the above mentioned and forget *small time magic*??

Hi Socalesq:

You can find it on Michael Ammar's "Easy to Master" money video Volume Two. It's also in his book, "Encore III" - if you happen to have it.

Michael Ammar used to sell them on his website - you might contact him to see if you can buy a ready-made one.

I agree with you - it's a nice, quick, visual trick.

It's a very good routine. I always get great reactions with it.

Are two dollar bills still active currency in the US?

Yes they are Adam as well as the Federal Reserve Notes. Just got one the other day and they were just printed up again in 2003.

Michael still sells this effect on his website. You can find it under 'tricks, props, and utility devices' in his store. Hope that helps.

Unless it costs less than 4 bucks, it's going to be cheaper to make. I made mine and it probably only took 10 minutes or so. It is a terrific effect. I use mine all the time.

Thank you all for the great advice. I was just cleaning out my giant magic bin and found a two dollar bill with the appropriate attachment, which reminded me that I used to do the trick myself long ago and had just forgotten! I'll check out Ammar's video for the handling. Many thanks!
