Money Paddle by Magic Makers

The Effect
Make money magically multiple before your eyes!
           
Supplies
A small black case holds your money paddle and features a small compartment holding your supplied bands. You will also need a bill of any value and 6 coins: 2 pennies, 2 nickels, and 2 dimes.
           
Setup
Take a bill of any denomination and fold it in half back against itself, then fold it in half from side to side. Once more fold in half from side to side and press it flat along the folds. Place this bill on the paddle covering the mirrors, and then slip three of the special bands supplied into position. Next, on top of the bill, position the penny under the band farthest from the handle, then the nickel under the center band, and the dime under the band closest to the handle. Note: The remaining 3 coins are in your pocket.
             
Paddle Move
This is a deceptive technique used to show two sides of a surface to be the same. One side is actually being shown twice. Hold the paddle with the blank side and loaded side between your thumb and index finger. The blank side should be facing up. Lift the paddle up as if you are going to expose the loaded side. As you do this, you need to twist/roll the paddle between your thumb and index finger 180 degrees to the opposite side.

The paddle falls to the opposite side, showing the blank side again. This is a two part move: turning the paddle over while at the same time rolling the paddle 180 degrees. The larger motion of turning hides the smaller motion of twisting/rolling. Do this same move in reverse to return the paddle to the original position (Paddle Move in Reverse). Use a mirror to practice your angles.
