Here’s a trick that’s more for show than for scam purposes, but a devious mind can certainly put this talent toward no good. For instance, a scammer might show you a 20 dollar bill that he’s giving you, only to change it into a single dollar before he or she stuffs it in your change envelope. The best lesson you could learn from this video is to never believe what you see.

Borrow a high denomination bill to perform this trick, then give them back the smaller bill. No special equipment or “gimmick” is needed. This trick can be done with any paper currency from anywhere in the world. Nobody is safe.
