Mastering Currency Magic with Five Dollar Tricks
Complementing the card artistry, 'Five Dollar Tricks' delves into five ingenious routines developed by Jerry Andrus, utilizing dollars – both coins and bills. This section doesn't just present effects; it meticulously explains fundamental coin moves and introduces you to the power of single and multiple coin holders. If you haven't yet explored the utility of coin holders, you're missing out on one of magic's most useful and potent accessories for seamless productions and vanishes. One standout effect in this book is 'Double Dollars,' where a borrowed dollar bill is shown on both sides, then folded into a cone. From this seemingly empty cone, a half dollar (or dollar) coin is miraculously poured. The bill is then unfolded, shown around to confirm its normalcy, only to be refolded for a second coin production. This stunning routine allows for the production of three coins before the bill is returned to its astonished owner, leaving them with an unforgettable experience.
