If you follow me over on TikTok.com/@Louiefoxx you may have noticed that I have posted a lot of videos of magic using the Movie Money fake bills. These are an upgrade from the old stage bills that didn’t remotely look like money, or were in strange sizes. The Movie Money looks very realistic and just have small slugs that say “copy” or something like “for motion picture purposes”, other than that they look like real money. They don’t feel like real money as they’re printed on paper.
I’ve come up with many tricks using these bills and what makes them better than using real money is their texture it better suited to card techniques than the real money. There is a lot of variation on the paper between different manufacturers, so some will be thinner and unusable and others will be just right in thickness and texture.
Another bonus is that all the bills within a value have the same serial number. That eliminated the problem of posting a trick to social media and some dopey kid watches the video a dozen times looking for discrepancy and notices that a serial number on a bill changes or is repeated. When all the $10’s are the same that’s not an issue.
I’m working on a book with magic with these bills and it will come with all the necessary bills to do each trick. You won’t have to hunt around for the correct quality of bill or have to make the gimmicks yourself.
I’m hoping to have this ready in the next month or two, so keep an eye out for it!
