The Jaw-Dropping Effect

The performance begins as you borrow a hundred-dollar bill, marking it with a mystical sigil of protection. This precious bill is placed into one of three envelopes, while the others hold ordinary slips of newspaper. Three spectators are invited to participate, each randomly selecting a proven, working lighter. The envelopes are mixed, handed to the spectators, and the tension builds. You declare that the sigil will safeguard the money. One by one, two spectators ignite their lighters and burn their envelopes, revealing nothing but ashes. The third spectator attempts to light their lighter, but to their astonishment, it fails! The remaining envelope is unharmed, and inside, the borrowed, protected hundred-dollar bill is revealed. But the drama isn't over. In a stunning climax, the sigil is erased, and without its protection, the money briefly flickers with fire before you swiftly extinguish it, taking your well-deserved bows. This masterful demonstration of fate and protection is guaranteed to elicit gasps and thunderous applause.

A mysterious twist on a classic effect. A borrowed $100 bill is marked with a sigil of protection. It is put in one of 3 envelopes. The other envelopes hold slips of newspaper. 

Three lighters are proven to operate and are randomly selected by 3 spectators. The envelopes are mixed by the spectators and handed, in order, to each spectator. 



You claim the sigil will protect the money through the powers of nature. The first spectator ignites his lighter and burns his envelope. The second spectator does the same. The final spectator cannot light his lighter! The remaining envelope is unharmed! When the envelope is opened, it contains the borrowed money. Whew! 



Finally, the sigil is erased from the $100 bill, and without the sigil to protect it the money starts burning. You quickly extinguish it and take your bows. 



With a very few props, this is big theatre that packs a punch! Add real meaning to your performance:

This really "packs small and plays big!" You'll be performing this piece right after reading the instructions.
