One Of My Famous Casino Stunts, I Would Buy That Trick String From A Magic Shop. You Know The The Thin Thread That You Can Hardly See, Looks Invisible From A Short Distance. When You Pull The Sting Out Of It's Metal Container, There Is A Button That You Press With Your Thumb And Conceal In Your Hand. Anyway, I Also Get A Phoney $10,000 Bill That Looks Real, And I Glue The String To The Bill. I Then Take The Attached Bill, And Pulled The Invisible String Out About 10 Feet, And Drop It To The Floor. I Would Then Sit At A Slot Machine, And Watch Thru The Corner Of My Eye, Waiting For A Sucker To Spot The Bill And Pick It Up. When The Dupe Bent Down And Got Within 5 Inches Of The Bill, I Would Release My Thumb Off The Button, And The Bill Would Snap Back To Me In A Blink Of A Second. The Dupe Would Wind Up On The Floor, Startled, And Shocked Into Suspense.
This Actually Happened, I Threw The Bill On The Floor. This Time Two People Spotted The Bill, And Sprang For It At The Same Time. I Quickly Released My Thumb From The Button. The Bill Immediately Snapped Back Into My Hand, However, The Two People Were Still Scrambling On The Floor For The Bill, And Then Got Into A Fist Fight, And Were Then Carted Off The Floor By Security.
