But I would never attempt this one while at a commercial walk around gig.
Bills On the Table
You bring out and place a dollar bill and one hundred dollar bill on the table along with a quarter. You turn your back and ask the spectator to spin the quarter on the table. When the quarter comes to rest, you ask the spectator to remember which side is up and cover the quarter with your wallet so it's hidden.Next, you ask the spectator to hide a bill in each hand. You turn around and remove three business cards from your pocket and write something down on each one. You then place one in front of each of the spectator's hands and one in front of the wallet.
You ask the spectator to open his or her hands, and when they turn over the business cards, you show that you knew which hand was holding which bill. And when the spectator lifts up your wallet and turns over the remaining business card, you are correct again. It's a solid two-phase revelation and the trick is not difficult to learn and perform, provided you have the right environmental conditions.
Walk Around, No Way
As the ads state, there are no electronics, stooges, assistants, one-ahead or even peeking. The ads also state that this effect is "perfect for walk around," which I find hilarious. There's no way that this effect is for real-world walk around situations.In my strolling situations. I can just see myself laying a one-hundred dollar bill on the table and turning my back and having some drunk spectator take the bill and interrupt my routine with some stupid game where he pockets the money. Or worse, having a woman shove the bill down into her blouse and challenging me to somehow get it.
Either situation is a losing proposition for me as the entertainer and both scenarios have occurred over the years with various props during walk around gigs. Furthermore, my walk around situations aren't ideal to support the method. And beyond these obstacles, I dislike effects where I have to turn my back to my audiences.
