I love magic tricks. I also love to see people doing awesome
things to help out the homeless. Put those two things together and you have,
well, and explosion of awesomeness. That’s where Stuart Edge comes in. He’s an
amazing magician who loves to help out the down-and-outers. Lucky for us, it’s
all caught on video.
While most magicians who do money tricks make coins or bills
vanish, Stuart Edge does the opposite. He ‘magically’ transforms $1 USD bills
into $100 USD. The icing on the cake? The lucky recipients get to keep the
money, which does not change back to its original value!
It all begins with Edge showcasing both a $1 USD bill and a
$100 USD bill to the person he is playing the trick on. He then places the
folded bills inside the person’s hand and asks him or her to make a fist. Edge
then ‘magically’ proceeds to pull out the $100 USD bill from the fist, while
leaving the dollar bill intact.
Then begins the cool part. Edge explains to the person that
the $1 USD and $ 100 USD bills can be switched if, he/she really wishes it to.
To seal the deal, the magician and the other party fist bump. Then, they both
uncurl their fingers and voila! Edge is left holding the dollar bill, while his
counterpart has the $100 USD!
While like all magic tricks this one too is an illusion, the
$100 USD bills are real – part of the $1,000 USD stash that Edge withdrew from
his personal savings account to help people in need. So far, Edge has remained
tight-lipped about how the trick works, simply saying “it’s magic.”
Here is the Video.
