"Hi, I'm Joe with Expert Village. And I'm going to show you some of the basic items that magicians use. This item is called Spider web Thread. We'll magically float the dollar bill. The secret to the Floating Dollar Bill is a very thin piece of thread. This is a thick piece. This is about six times as thick. The thread is looped around a button on the magician's coat or vest. The thread is then attached to a gimmick you make yourself. A ring of scotch tape usually hidden behind the table and picked up on the magician's finger. The thread's invisible to the naked eye around the scotch tape. When the scotch tape is attached to the dollar, and the magician's fingers are inside the loops of the thread, it invisibly floats. You can find everything you need for this trick at your local magic shop or on the Internet."
