~Cut And Restore

The effect of this magic is that you display two pieces of banknotes and show them openly front and back to your audiences to see. Then, you place them back to back and cut through the center of the banknotes with a scissors. The banknotes is clearly and to be cut into 4 pieces. Now, without any suspicious moves, you open both of the banknotes to show the audiences that it has already restores to their original condition. Incredible? Read the below instruction.


1) Before you start to perform this magic, you need to do some preparation. First of all, you apply a thin layer of rubber cement with around half inch wide on the center of each banknote (which are almost similar new) just like the picture at below.
2) After it has dried, you have to apply for the second coat of rubber cement on the banknote.

3) Then, sprinkle a little talcum powder (or baby powder) on the cement covered area on each bill. Next, spread the talcum powder over the entire surface of the cement by using your finger or a soft brush.


4) Now, you will notice that the treated areas of both banknotes will not stick to each other due to the applied powder surface.

5) The pictures at above show that how you hold the banknotes without seeing by the audience before you start your magic. Square up both notes, make sure that the cement areas are touching each other.


6) Now, with your thumb and finger of your left hand as shown in picture 4 above, hold the both banknotes. Use your right hand to hold a scissors and cut through the center of both notes carefully.

NOTE : Make sure you cur within the covered cement areas. Done openly and deliberately, all the audiences will think that both notes are cut.

7) Then, put away the scissors, grip the halves on the right side of the cut in your right hand and the left side's two halves in your left hand.


8) with your thumb and finger of both hands, separate the halves of the notes just like the picture at below

Secret : This is because the rubber cement will make the halves stick together at the cut edges giving the illusion that the four half notes have melted together to form two complete notes once again.
