How to Perform 'Floating Money'

The magician removes a dollar bill from his wallet. He shows it to be real. He folds it and crumples it into a ball. He drops it... only it does not fall to the ground. It floats. And he proves no string is hidden in his hands.

Instructions

    • 1

      Measure the distance from your mouth to just below your knees.

    • 2

      Whatever number you measure, cut that much invisible thread off the spool. Invisible thread is a material magicians love because it CANNOT be seen even when looking right at it.

    • 3

      Spread out a dollar bill and lie the thread across it.

    • 4

      Tape the middle of the bill so the thread sticks.

    • 5

      Fold or crumple the dollar up so nobody can see the tape.

    • 6

      Place the end points of the thread in your mouth, like floss, and hit the streets.

    • 7

      Be dramatic. People cannot see invisible thread and will literally only see a weird guy walking around with money floating around him. Since the thread is in your mouth, you can show no string exists in your hands or sleeves.
