I have discovered that since the ink on US Currency has metal particles that makes them magnetically attractive. This can be used to check for counterfeit bills but might be used for a magic effect.
Anyone know of this principle in use in a magic effect?

Been used in PK effects for a number of years.
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "

This was brought up earlier this year, but didn't seem to illicit effect ideas.
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......tart=0#8 The attraction to even strong magnets is very weak. The only PK type effect that I would think could work would be if the bill was delicately suspended from, or on something, you might be able to get it to move. Yet, I think you could get it to move a lot more by just fanning the air. John

I think I meant "elicit", not "illicit".

The amount and distribution of the particles of magnetised material in paper money - USA or any other paper money - is extremely small and well dispersed. As John Long says, the attraction to a magnet is "very weak".
This has been and will remain the case so long as paper money is dispensed via machinery that relies on electro-magnetic circuits. In layman's terms, if the manufacturers of the paper money make the magnetic qualities of the bills stronger they will screw up how the automatic teller machines operate. |
