Money Magic Tricks – Popular, Easy, and Fun

Money magic tricks are among the most popular magic tricks in existence for a compelling reason: What if you really could double your money? Money intrigues people of all ages from the little kid whose grandfather can pull quarters out of his ears to the adult who wishes if only it were possible to change a $1 dollar bill into a $100 bill.

Magic tricks that turn one form of money into another, such as changing a stack of nickels into a stack of dimes satisfy spectators of all ages because, not only is it amazing, it satisfies that primal urge to make money. Similarly, magic tricks involving other peoples’ money are also popular. For example, asking a spectator to give you a $20 bill so that you can make it disappear adds tension to your act. The spectator gives you the money, trusting that you won’t really make it disappear – and then when it vanishes (or you cut it up into shreds), he wonders if you’ll be able to make it reappear (or whole again).

Many magic tricks involving money can be purchased at a magic store while others don’t involve a prop at all. For example, in order to make a stack of nickels turn into a stack of dimes, you’ll need to go to the magic store and buy the trick. Magic stores typically have entire sections devoted to coin and money magic. For example, if you want to take a bite out of a quarter, you’re going to need to invest in the right type of quarter to pull off the trick.

On the other hand, you don’t need a magic store quarter to perform sleight-of-hand tricks such as pulling a quarter out of your grandson’s ear – just sleight of hand skills. Likewise, many dollar bill tricks use real currency and magic (or creative folding techniques) to create an illusion.

In all, whether you buy magic tricks at the magic store or use your creative magical skills with real currency, money magic is fun for all!
