I love paper money magic but I always end up spending all the gaffed or prepared money. lol. I'm trying to think of tricks using only borrowed money. Any you can think of?

Off the top of my head...

  • Cup/Cups & Balls... (mugs, coffee cups, or Funsway's FoldCup)
  • 3 in the hand & 1 in pocket...
  • Any short routine for small balls... (vanishes, productions, etc.)
  • Chink-a-Chink...
  • Changeabill...
  • Tivoli's change...
  • Pencil/pen-thru-bill... (using 'special extra prop' or not)
  • "Multiply" or "split" a borrowed bill (pick your favorite barehanded method)
  • Continuous bill production
  • Impromptu bill tear & restoration...
  • Break a pencil with a borrowed bill...
  • Link paperclips with a borrowed bill...
  • Balance a coin on the edge of a borrowed bill...
  • Float a borrowed bill (many methods)... (NOTE: not the same as "floating a loan")
  • Vanish a coin inside a folded borrowed bill...
  • Matrix using bills instead of cards...
  • "The Bill Collector" (see PH)
  • Identify mentally-selected bill/serial number from several bills
  • Identify mentally selected bills with several spectators
  • Vernon's ball count using rolled up bills
  • Produce multiple coins from a bill

Note: some of these require an extra bill or additional "impromptu" props.

I like that Miracle money trick. Does he perform that in live shows? I'm pretty sure how it works. and the method doesn't seem very practical.

There is a great effect called Misleading Misled that is done completely impromptu by borrowing a pen or pencil and a bill. This is a no-gaff version of the original Misled. Very good effect and not hard to perform at all. Also, though I have not used it myself, Dough! from Jay Sankey, at least on video, looks good. Anybody else have thoughts on Dough! by Sankey?

Just another idea: Driven by Cameron Francis is great as well, and it can be combined with any other impromptu version to suit your style/liking.
