Materials:

Jesus Dollar as designed by Dock Haley scissors

Effect




A "door" is cut in a paper dollar and opened on one side. A spectator holds onto the door while the rest of the bill is folded up. When the bill is unfolded, the spectator is on the other side of the bill.

Method



I highly recommend purchasing a package of the Dock Haley Jesus Dollars from your magic supplier for three reasons: it will give you better quality than printing from these display versions, it will cost less than printing your own, and it will support the continued use of this attention-getting witnessing tool.

Fold the bill in thirds vertically, as shown by the blue vertical lines. It is important that the center panel be as wide as each of the side panels. The horizontal folds should be 1/4 of the way from the edge so that the foleded portions meet but don't overlap in the middle. Cut along the folds where indicated by the red lines.

Open the door toward the front side of the bill and have a spectator hold the door with his left hand. You will be working from the other side of the bill.

Fold one side panel inward so that it covers the door opening.

Fold the top panel down and the bottom panel up.
