"Any bank note is taken out and given to the spectator to examine. The magician tears a half-inch from the bill, right before the eyes of the spectator, very clearly and slowly. The bill is showen to have the missing piece and the missing section can be felt by the spectator. The magican gently massages the bill where the torn section is, with a BLINK of an eye the bill is completely restored! Bill can be examined by the spectator".

Grippo was the resident magician at Caesers for years. Enjoyed seeing him on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson!
Don't recall ever seeing this but it sounds similar to "Rip-It" marketed by Jack Chanin.

MagicHart, it does sound like Chanin's 'rip-It" ( which was improved by Harry Lorayne with his "Rip-Storation" ).

Where is this written up?
