DID YOU KNOW? There are 41 presidents who could have their face featured on legal tender along with countless other historical figures. So, why is it then that we make George Washington do double duty on the $1 bill and the quarter?
Like everything else in life, it's so that we could do a cool magic trick.
This is Arraignment. You show both a quarter and dollar bill, George barely able to contain his wooden smile on either. You place the bill in the spectator's hand as you make Washington's visage vanish from the coin.
When your spectator unfolds the bill, they see that the portrait has been duplicated. Where once there was just one George Washington, now there are two "standing" back to back.

You can work with pure sleight of hand, gimmick-assisted handling, or a handling built for maximum visual impact and absolute cleanliness. The methods are modular, so you can separate and recombine them for different conditions: standing, surrounded, or performing for the camera. Each performance can take on a fresh shape.

Perform This Act Fool Us Today
Coincidence at your command
Can you believe it's been almost 4 years since Javier Natera's Fool Us performance debuted? His routine, playing with the theme of coincidence, was equal parts controlled and manic. We watched in awe as he threaded that impossible balance with one thought on our minds: I can't wait to perform that.
Today, Javier's routine is finally available in the form of Synchronous.

You cut the deck, handing about half to your spectator. Both of you put your packets under the table and select a card, turn it face up, and slide it into the middle.
The spectator then spreads their cards on the table. The 9 of Clubs is face up. You spread your packet to reveal that you have selected the matching card, the 9 of Spades.
You then instruct your spectator to bring their packet under the table again and select a new card, while you square your cards and leave them on the table.
Once again, your spectator spreads the cards, revealing the 4 of hearts face up.
Now, without having ever touched your cards, you spread them again to reveal suddenly the 4 of diamonds is face up!
Whether you want to portray this as a genuine miracle or an impressive feat of persuasion is up to you, but either way, you'll have

JUST FOR LAUGHS:
A Russian and an American arrive in Hell.
The Devil greets them and asks, “So, which Hell do you want: the American one or the Russian one?”
“What’s the difference?” they ask.
“In American Hell, you have to eat one bucket of feces every day. In Russian Hell, it’s two buckets.”
The American says, “Well… American Hell, obviously.”
The Russian thinks for a moment and says, “Eh, I’ve spent my whole life in Russia. No point changing now.”
A month later, they run into each other again.
The Russian asks, “So, how’s it going over there?”
The American replies, “Not bad. Every morning I eat my bucket of feces, then I’m free for the rest of the day. What about you?”
The Russian shrugs.
“Same as always. Either the feces never gets delivered, or there aren’t enough buckets for everyone.”
