A small clear plastic folder is slipped over a folded borrowed bill.     A playing card is then stuck through the bill, and sticks out the other side of the fold and folder. In the end, the bill is unharmed.

The card used is a Bee poker size card.   It is specially gimmicked to accomplish this very visual effect, and so you cannot substitute your favorite brand of cards.   (It would not be difficult to construct the card gimmick in another brand and back design, but the gimmick is particularly deceptive when using the Bee brand back pattern.)

An easy to do, easy to carry pocket mystery.   Very visual.  

Sadly, Black Hat Magic is no longer around, so these are very hard to come by now.    Found a few of these in a large lot of "new-old" dealer inventory.   

So even though this prop is about 25+ years old, it is brand new, never used, in original Black Hat packaging, with original Black Hat instructions

NOTE:  $20 bill that is shown in the photos is NOT included, but you knew that already, right?
