Time Is Money (Sagiv Levy) by Sagiv Levy

Wow this is a beautiful looking Hour Glass that looks amazing and is very solidly built.  It creates the perfect illusion of the classic bill to impossible location.  The props are very appealing too and everything looks above board. This is magic you can quickly fall in love with.

The method is practical, if a little saucy, and easy to do. This is not a mechanical marvel however, just in case you were expecting some clever mechanical method.

Effect: The magician displays a large, beautiful wooden hourglass to the audience. He inverts the hourglass, beginning the countdown and hands it to a spectator to hold. The magician then borrows a bill from someone else in the audience, tears off a corner of the bill containing the serial number and gives it to the spectator as well.

The magician then completely destroys the bill (burning, shredding, etc.), and, when trying to restore it, finds himself in the very awkward position of being unable to do so! The performer then directs the audience’s attention back to the hourglass, and everyone notices that the sand is running out. The performer assures the audience there’s nothing to worry about as in the world of magic, “Time is also worth money…!”

To the audience’s amazement, exactly on cue, a bill mysteriously appears from within the sand inside the hourglass! When removed, the two pieces fit exactly!

Comes complete with the wooden padded carrying box, beautiful hourglass, gimmick, fifty paper envelopes, music CD, extra bag of sand for an additional 60 seconds, printed instructions and instructional DVD.
