How To Do This Magic Money Trick

Step 1

My son started with a $10 bill which he placed on the table right in front of him.

Step 2

Next, he placed the other bill perpendicular to the first bill. He made sure to line up the side of the top bill with the bottom of the first bill.

Step 3

Then starting from the bottom, he rolled the two bills up. This may actually be the trickiest part of the whole magic trick!
