Money Mystery Box, Bloodwood by John Kennedy

Not content with creating one of the best card effects ever, John Kennedy created this beauty using the same principle for Money.

Effect: Place a small wooden box down on the table. Borrow a dollar bill from a spectator and have him sign it with a magic marker. Fold it up os you ask, “Is this the dollar bill you gave me ?” When he confirms, say “Thanks!” and put it in your pocket. Continue, “You can have your dollar back, or you can trade it for what’s inside the box. “Point to the wooden box resting on the table. Whatever he chooses he’s in for a shock … Slowly reach over with your empty hand and bring the box over to the spectator. “Please remove the lid.” He does so and sees a folded bill inside. Dump out and let him unfold it – it’s his signed bill! The Money Mystery Box seems impossible because no one went anywhere near the box. And it’s easy to do with no sleight-of-hand necessary.

Any U.S.A. paper currency will work $1, $20, even a $100 bill – you name it! It comes complete with the beautifully crafted Bloodwood box, routine, and other related ideas by John Kennedy.
