Hi. I'm not sure if I am posting to the right page or not, but I am president and founder of a magic club at my high school in Suwanee Georgia. I wanted to come up with a great idea for a performance in front of the whole school at a pep rally this Friday, and wanted it to be somewhat practical as well. I first started thinking about large stage illusions but as I'm going to be surrounded and all sides, (and building/buying can't happen right now)I thought a " transporting" Dollar bill trick would be sufficient. I wanted to know if anyone knew about the appearing dollar bill trick that Cyril Takayama performed and I can leave a link to the YouTube video but I thought this would be a nice addition to just transporting the dollar bill as well during performance. Thanks so much

You haven't given a lot of information about your performance but in any event, you're doing a performance in 5 days and are looking to add something new to your routine. This happens way too many times. In very rare cases, it takes a lot more than just 5 days to perfect an item to point of being able to perform it in front of an audience. My suggestion would be to use what you know and leave the audience wanting more.

The bill production Cyril does, is known as the Osaka Bill Production, it was sold by the originator.

That will take you at least 3 to 6 months to learn, it is only the working for the production, not how to put confetti in, and how to obtain the bills secretly. You will have to see other sources for that.

The Fanning Bills are available from Seo Magic dot com, and John Blake's Manipulation Bills from Trick Supply dot come.

It will take you about a year to perfect that Manipulation bill act.

For the bill transportation effect, you could use the Jumping Signed Bill by Ickle Pickle Magic, who is the manufacturer. Easy to do, and if you play it up better then the guy in the demo, would play very well.

Hope this helps.

Of course you could do the Bill in Lemon from the Mark Wilson Course in Magic, or the Tarbell Course in Magic.

This is whatever

I realize that this is too late for the poster, but that jumping bill effect seems like it involves objects that are too small for what I imagine the setting(e.g.; Magi on the gyms floor, audience in bleachers) for a school's pep rally.

Although not anything like the effect suggested, an effect that I think could be seen and appreciated from the bleachers could be a clippo effect using an over sized bill(if you want to stick with a money effect).
