Not currency specific but I thought I'd pick your brains:

Has anyone ever run across anything where the magician shows a piece of paper, folds it, then reopens it and it is smaller? Then continues to do so 2 or 3 more times until they finally vanish it?

I've got a get story, just need a great method.

No, can't use diminishing cards.

Thanks,
Dave

Perhaps using a set of Buddha Papers in reverse?

Haven't tried this but off the top of my head. Four progressively smaller sized bills. Glue the first back to back with the second. The third with the fourth. First shrink happens by folding and turning paper over. Second happens with thumb tip bill switch. Third happens by folding and turning paper over. Vanish happens with thumb tip.

Take a NEW note. Crumple it into a tight ball. Un-crumple it. It will be smaller than a non-crumpled bill.
The move times you do it, the more it shrinks.
(May not work with that plastic stuff).
