I had seen a few YouTube videos of people doing this magic trick, and of course there are other YouTube videos showing how it is done. I thought it would be fun to show Oliver how to do it and then video tape it so he could see how magical it really is.

He did pretty well, all things considered. Unfortunately, a little while after this video was taken he snuck off and tried to prepare another bill for the trick and couldn’t do it. In true Oliver fashion he got angry and vowed never to do magic ever again. We’ll just see about that…

Fun fact: This was actually a $20 bill. I didn’t have any ones. Not that we’re rich or anything.
Extra fun fact: This was taped in our basement only days before one of our Halloween parties.  That’s why there are decorations behind Oliver.
