(Note: The The Bill bill gimmick is not manufactured. This manuscript provides detailed instructions to help you build the device for about $30 in about three hours.)
Effect: Using mysterious powers, the performer folds a dollar bill but unfolds a hundred. While musing on the legal status of the now larger bill, the performer is suddenly confronted by tiny police officers in a cop car! Well, not really, but there are flashing blue, red, and white police lights coming from somewhere. What happens after the police show up is your business, although I would recommend exercising good taste and restraint. Whether you perform for the police or emphatically do not, The Bill can be the basis for a memorable routine.
At last, a long-absent element of the bill change plot -- the inevitable interest of law enforcement -- is here for your use. Once constructed, the gimmick's simple handling frees the performer to concentrate on the presentation to make the most of this new wrinkle on a now-classic routine. No additional gimmicks are required to use this prop, which is a cleverly hidden thing with some LED lights and a switch on it.
