Money Switch – Bill Transformation by Mickael Chatelain

Money Switch is an astonishing stage or close-up magic trick that proves: a real banknote can visibly appear larger in a matter of seconds – right before your audience's eyes. Developed by Mickael Chatelain, the concept is based on simple, natural movements and a completely invisible transformation that you can perform immediately, while the banknote never leaves sight.

How Money Switch Works

• One: Hold a real ten-euro bill between your fingertips. Roll up your sleeve; otherwise, the bill remains visible while your hands are empty.
• Two: Fold the bill once in the middle. The tension builds as the audience follows every move.
• Three: Fold the bill again. In the end, you're holding a real twenty-euro bill between your fingers – and the ten-euro bill seems to have vanished, visible on both sides.

You explain beforehand that you can double the value in three seconds – the audience sees the transformation, but the bill remains visible throughout and is never hidden. No thumb tips needed!
