Been trying to find the name of this trick. Apparently the center of a dollar bill (not yet hyperinflated!) has the center portion (George Washington portrait torn out) magician eats the piece and blows on bill, all is restored. Was this in the old Micheal Ammar Money Miracle videos? under the name Rip It George? All remember is the clever center tear fold, you can't hand out the bill...anyone? Thanks!

This is something Jeff McBride would teach in his lectures. Perhaps contact him. I am not sure if is his or where he got it from.

The trick is on the "Easy to Master Money Miracles Vol. 3" with Michael Ammar and is called Dining On Dollars.

McBride teaches this on his Magic of Jeff McBride (DVD). Jeff credits a magician from Japan for this version (Johnny Hirose). On the DVD it is just listed as a Torn & Restored Bill effect.

Hope that helps you out.

Dining on Dollars... Love this effect. Plays big and always stresses folks out as you tear out George. One of my favorites.

Thanks, "Dining on Dollars" it is, found the video clip from the Ammar videos on Youtube, thanks. Shame Federal Reserve bankers are counterfeiting dollarbonds, soon the end of KingQueen Dollarbonds as the reserve currency of the world? Or a switch to digital centralized or decentralized money, stay tuned folks, change is the only constant, awareness awaring the eternal mystery...

Johnny Hirose's effect Rip-it Revolutionized was published in Kaufman's "Richard's Almanac" and was an improvement on Jack Chanin's Rip-It.

Dining On Dollars is a Rick Johnson effect.
