Learn one of the greatest bill-to-impossible location effects from one of the greatest magicians of all time. Michael Ammar has become one of the most important figures in the modern world of magic. He’s responsible for training an entire generation of the best magicians in the world. When he tells you a piece of magic is one of the most powerful tricks he has ever performed, you sit up and take notice. Two dollar bills are torn in half, the halves transpose with a couple of peanuts, and the halves of the bills are discovered inside a freely selected peanut. This is the complete work on the legendary effect that is Michael Ammar’s Bill To Peanut.

Here’s what happens:

You borrow two bills from two different spectators in your audience. The bills are torn in half, and then one piece is handed back, each to its respective owner. The other halves of the bills are secured in a handkerchief in a wine glass for safekeeping. One of the spectators freely chooses a peanut from a full bag of peanuts. You make a magical gesture over the handkerchief and then slowly open it to reveal a pair of unshelled peanuts where there were once halves of a dollar bill. The peanut is then cracked open and inside are the other halves of the dollar bills. These are confirmed to match the halves the spectators are holding. Then, in an impossible kicker ending, you restore the torn dollar bills and hand them back to the audience for immediate examination.

Bill to Peanut is an effect Michael Ammar has closed his set with at the Magic Castle. He uses it when he performs for celebrities and when he does a show for some of the largest companies in the world. The effect is not only easy but every detail and beat of the routine has been meticulously thought through. It’s so clean, it has to be impossible. Add this beautifully off-beat miracle to your show and get ready for your audience’s heads to explode when you perform Michael Ammar’s Bill to Peanut.
