Male: Hey, have you any money on you, like
a bill, a high bill?
Female: Are you going to give it back?
Male: Yes.
I'll try.
Oh, wow.
High roller.
Okay, hold your for a second.
You've seen on T.V. where they cut a lady
in half and stuff like that, right?
Female: Yes.
Male: I don't think you want to be cut in
half right now.
Female: No.
Male: It's a little painful.
So we're going to use the bill.
I'm actually not going to cut the bill in
half.
I am going to put a hole right through the
bill.
Wouldn't that be cool?
Female: Yes.
Male: Watch.
Pencil, right inside the hundred.
It's inside, yes or no?
Female: Yes.
Male: Just like that, it goes right through.
You can see the hole.
You can see it inside, both sides.
Female: You're going to own me a hundred bucks.
Male: Maybe.
Pull it right out.
Now this is very interesting, Heather.
There's actually...
Can you see it?
A hole, but your hundred dollar bill is totally
unharmed.
There's no hole.
Female: Good thing.
Male: This is really, really cool because
you can actually use any bill and any pencil,
or a pen or a knife.
You just need some kind of paper, it could
be loose leaf paper.
It could be another bill, actually.
I am using index cards here.
A Post-It Note.
Anything you want, it doesn't really matter.
I'll show you what to do with that in a moment.
Basically what you need to do is finagle their
bill a little bit and all you need to do is
to get a little rip inside the bill.
You can actually have a ripped one in your
pocket already of the same bill.
You can switch it out.
You can say, 'is this the hundred you just
gave me?
Oh, it is?
Thanks a lot'.
You can do the switch in your pocket or you
can just finagle with their bill and when
they're looking at you, you could just tear
a little slit...
I would say a quarter of the way down.
Nobody sees that.
It's normal.
Basically you're going to take your index
card or your Post-It Note and you rip off
a small piece about that big.
You're going to fold the index card around
the bill.
Bend the bill down.
I would say half an inch from the top.
Have the index card on the outside.
Fold it about that big so you show half the
bill here and half of it is inside the index
card.
Take your pencil or your pen or whatever and
you going to put it actually inside the fold.
But, there's a secret.
The pencil sneaks out of this little slit
that you actually ripped and down towards
the index card.
If anything shows here, like a rip, you've
got it covered with your thumb.
In this case, it's pretty good.
You don't really see much.
You're going to cover that up anyway.
You can actually bend the back corner a little
bit and the front corner a little bit.
This is a very, very fair display.
You can show both sides and that it's actually
inside the bill.
What you do now is you're going to push the
pencil right through what seems like the hundred
dollar bill.
You show bother sides again, it looks really,
really good.
Turn back over and you're going to pull the
pencil out.
Show that the index card has a hole and show
that the bill is totally normal.
You put your fingers on the slit and that
is the secret to the pencil through a borrowed
bill.
