I made mine with the old classic lottery tickets into £20's. The lottery tickets need a lot of trimming though. Not looking forward to needing them £20's and having to make it again lol

Euromillion tickets for sure, I also scanned, rescaled and printed lottery tickets and they worked well enough. I also used a guillotine to just trim everything neat. Probably illegal but the notes still "work". IMHO even if everyone is doing lottery tickets, it still makes more sense from a narrative perspective. I.e people buy tickets to make money. The other I'd guess would be travel pics and it turns into the relevant local currency for each place.

Just wondering if £5 notes can be used ok, or does it work better with physically larger notes? Also I take it the notes do not get destroyed in set up.

Hello fellow magicians... 1st post here so hello!

I just received the trick in the post, can't wait to try out some different routines with this!

My question is, do the long lottery tickets, the ones you circle the numbers on, fit £20 notes? I saw dynamo do this trick, and he went into a newsagents and picked up the lotto tickets and BAM -£20 notes appear. It would be quite hard to do impromptu if you have to also make the lotto tickets fit to size.

A lot of Dynamo's impromptu work on the show was not as impromptu as the cameras led you to belief.

Yeah lol. I do lottery tickets into £20's and i had to do alot of trimming to get it right.

No it doesnt ruin the money i took my extreme burn apart yesterday because i needed the £20's for my trip to alakazam today

Sorry for asking again, but I'm about to get extreme burn 2.0 and was wondering does it work with £5 notes (and paper clippings) or are physically bigger notes better?

by **russpie** » Sep 30th, '11, 09:01

I wouldn't have thought there'd be a problem. I do it with tenners because the foreigh money I found was the same size pretty much.

I do it with £5 notes and its fine

by **MrTetley** » Oct 8th, '11, 12:59

Thanks for that. Got extreme burn 2.0 yesterday. Any advice of which magazine clippings I should use?

by **russpie** » Oct 10th, '11, 19:31

Probably ones which are not too colourful on the edges but are contrasting in the centre compared to the fivers.

The thickest and best quality paper as you can get. Mines about 2months old now and the main part of the gimmick is in need of replacement. I used the cover of one of the newspaper supplements

by **8a22a** » Dec 7th, '11, 16:27

I made this with standard newspaper clipping and £10 notes, they work well together. I had to double-layer the top side though as the paper was a bit too thin.

Plain white paper shows too much.

Its pay day on Friday, so I'm going to get some notes and finally put this together.

Ideally I'd like to turn lottery tickets in to £20's ... And there's lots of advice on this thread already, but let's get the final word here. From experience of the good Talk Magic magicians, what combinations of notes and things have we found work best for this?

by **russpie** » May 30th, '13, 14:05

I've only ever used a combination of foreign notes into tenners. The magazine pieces into notes didn't really sit well with me. Lottery slips makes sense, would you use the slips you put your numbers on or the part you get back from the newsagent after buying them?

I've used mine for about 3 years now without the need to remake it, you just need to look after it. I keep mine in an empty packet trick wallet & take it out at performances then put it straight back.
