By , About.com Guide

1 of 7

Effect:
A pair of paper clips are attached to a dollar bill. After pulling the ends of the dollar bill, the paper clips link and jump from the dollar.

Secret:
There is no real secret. Simply follow the instructions and the trick almost works by itself.

Materials:
A dollar bill and two paper clips. For a variation explained at the end, you may also want a rubberband. The rubberband needs to be large enough that it can freely hang when wrapped around the dollar bill.
