Do not concern yourself with the serial number problem. Although you make the regular mismade from four bills (so to speak) only two numbers show on any finished bill. I always remove one of them in a manner that most magicians know. That way only one serial number is showing. The one you remove is at a location that ends up not “looking empty.”

The Dan Harlan routine handles this a bit differently, but just as convincing.

Bob,
What's a source for removing one of the serial numbers "in a manner that most magicians know"? I'm assuming it's in print somewhere.

I've never even given it a thought before.

Billy McComb's book McComb's Magic, 25 Years Wiser, Kaplan's Fine Art of Magic.
Both of these have the secret method.

Now you guys have gone and done it!

I've never even thought about fixing the mismatched serial numbers on the 'mismade.'

Now, everytime I hand out a mismade bill, it'll bother me that they don't match!

Thanks for making me neurotic!

For those who were looking to acquire 32-note sheets of uncut $1.00 bills from http://www.Moneyfactory.com

I just received mine in the mail December 10th. (I ordered them on November 22nd.)

So, they are still available, but better order ahead of time!

HURRY there's a sheet on ebay right now about to go

What is another good routine with the mismade, Besides the ones talked about above.

Just doing it with the $100 bill switch blows people away. It's really not hard to do & Ammar has a video (I believe I read recently that it's out on DVD now)that explains it well. I've never seen the other routines mentioned here.
I've never tried to alter the serial #'s so they match but I do think this is worth the effort (but only) if you're going to let them keep the bill. Otherwise it's never been noticed.
