This is a classic magic trick that involves something everybody loves. Money. And not just any money, free money that magically appears out of nowhere. In this trick you will convince any audience of your alchemical powers. This is the way it will appear to your up close audience. Either sitting or standing, you proudly and boldly proclaim that you have solved the mystery of alchemy and can pull money straight from thin air. You are filthy rich, and you have more money than you know what to do with. Skeptical, your audience will close in and demand proof of your new found ability. Pull your sleeves up to ensure that nothing untoward is going on. You say some other magic words and begin to slowly rub your palms together while channeling the spirit of Krosus, the guy who invented money.) While you are rubbing our palms together, paper money will suddenly fly everywhere. People will naturally demand that you repeat the trick, but you tell them you can only channel Krosus (or whoever) once every couple hours or so. Naturally, if you tell them you need a drink to repeat this trick, people will line up to buy you one. Here's how to do the trick. First, contact the ghost of Krosus. If he's not available, then you take a roll of bills, any denomination, and roll the up as tightly as you can. Roll your jacket up about halfway between your wrist and your elbow, and stick the bills in the arm opposite your dominant hand. This will become clear in a minute. As you are mumbling your ancient words of magic, first show both sides of your hands, and roll up your sleeves further. Start first by rolling up the sleeve with your dominant hand, and quickly slip the bills into your palm. Do this quickly, while you are mumbling something completely incoherent, in order to keep them distracted. Then roll up your other sleeve, and start rubbing your palms together. As you rub your palms together, simply allow the money to naturally unroll, and fall out as it does so, landing wherever it does. Act as if the money is coming from the great beyond, and keep rubbing a few seconds after all the money has finished unrolling in order to cover your tracks. This trick takes a bit of mirror practice, and a quick bit of preparation, but it's well worth it to see the lock on their faces when money starts flying everywhere. A good alternative is to do this with monopoly money, or other play money, and tell them that Krosus (or whoever) has the night off. Of course, the best place to do this is at bars or parties where people are in a good mood and maybe have had something to drink.
