"Serial number vs. Signature vs. Torn corner"

Ask laymen which is most convincing. Magic is not the method, but how spectators percieve it. Just my two cents worth, if it really worth it.

Sincerely,

Magic Shaun:

So the spectators believe that we have a duplicate of THEIR bill?

With logic like that,wouldn't they think we just have a copy of their signature also?

Try this one. Bill is signed, serial number noted AND a piece is cut off and kept.

I've been doing this routine for over 30 years and it doesn't just fool the spectators... Smile

I like the idea of signed. It personalized the trick and lends itself to gags and jokes with the audience.

I think the serial #'s, trivializes the trick, into a "checking #s" just to make sure the magician did the job right. Not as effective in my opinion.

It all depends on you countries currency laws. Here in the US, writing on a bill does not mean it is worthless. Even tearing a bill, as long as the bill is over 75% intact, the bank will give you a full size bill.

If your currency is the newer plastic money, that seems to be another whole set of problems to work out.

You will have to check with your banking system, ours is called "The Federal Reserve", no idea what your ruling agency would be in the U.K.

I learn my bill in lemon from Inception by Chris Randall. Super easy to do and fools people well.

Scott Guinn's routine tops them all. Why would you wanna sign a bill anyways. People always hesitate signing and then it becomes awkward. You have to make them think it's ok. The way Scotts routine is structured, IMO it's the most convincing routine of it's type to date. I cant wait to try this out. Besides, the way it's structured, you don't have much technical work to do at all.. can't say that with a signed version. You must do some kind of crazy sleight of hand and most of the time you have to cut open the lemon yourself. That's not the case with this routine. The spectator has the lemon to start with and then at the end cuts it open himself and verifies the serial numbers. Come on, it doesn't get any stronger than that. Try that with a signed bill.


People having an issue with signing a bill may have a bigger issue burning one Smile

Here is Gali-Gali performing Bill in Orange on the Ed Sullivan show. Simple and effective. A real fooler. Listen to the gasps form the audience when the bill is revealed in the orange.
