Bob Solari, ca. 1990s.
A borrowed bill is folded lengthwise, and a knife—freely examined and entirely ungimmicked—is pushed straight through its center. The audience can hear the paper tear as the blade is drawn the length of the bill, apparently slicing it nearly in two. Yet, when unfolded, the bill is found completely restored and can be handed out for full examination.
Perform close-up and surrounded. No gimmicked knife, no bill switch, no sleights, and no preparation required. Instant reset. Works with any denomination or even foreign currency. Learn in minutes—a clever, practical piece of modern close-up magic from Bob Solari.
