I once as a kid saw a magician performing on the street, he took a bill from one guy in the audience and pulled it in two halfs. The guy got angry and instinctively reached for it but then it was gone and he was totally confused, everyone laughed thinking what a great performer. But when he made the bill reappear and gave it back to the dude it was *still* in two halfs. ??? -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
