NOTE-A-BILL

 T-291

The magician displays a notepad, and draws a picture of a banknote. In full view, he pulls the drawing from the notepad, and it instantly transforms into a real bill! Looking back at the notepad, the drawing is now completely blank, with no text printed. This shocking trick enables you to transform a drawing into a real object. The notepad looks like an ordinary and natural item, so you can carry it in your pocket and perform this trick as you go about your daily life. You will be ready to surprise your audiences at any time!

Remove the remaining backing from the large sticker. Slowly and carefully, apply it to the sheet. Use a pencil point to poke out the tiny holes where the ring binding will pass through. If the large sticker becomes creased or damaged, or if the adhesive weakens over time, please replace with the extra sticker provided.

2 Apply small sticker to small sheet (1000 yen) Fold down the corner of the backing to the small sticker (1000 yen) and place it onto the small sheet. Carefully line up the cut line of the edge, and then affix the sticker at its exposed corner so that the layers remain aligned.

PREPARING THE NOTEPAD If you will use US bills or Euro notes, read the section titled “OPTIONAL PERFORMANCE IDEAS WITHOUT 1000  YEN” first. In the following explanation you will see a 1000 yen Japanese bill displayed in the illustrations. However, you can prepare and perform with US bills or Euro notes in the same manner. You will need to prepare the gimmick using both the sticker and the sheets. This step is slightly cumbersome, but you will only need to perform it once, since the gimmick is reusable for multiple performances. Please do not be overwhelmed by this preparation – read through it with the props in hand.

The adhesive is repositional, so you can easily remove the sticker and try again if you are not successful on your first try.

Attach double-sided tape to two locations

If you run out of the enclosed double-sided tape in the future, feel free to replace with any double-sided tape available at office supply stores. Simply cut each strip to the following dimensions: 5mm x 68mm.
