This is a trick that will make your audience believe your cash will not burn.
Steps
Prepare a solution of one part alcohol, one part water and little table salt. Give the solution a magical-sounding name. Do not allow your audience to see the ingredients. Do not leave the solution open long enough to evaporate the alcohol.
Soak a dollar in the solution.Advertisement
Hold the wet dollar up with metal tongs. Keep away from the bowl of solution.
Light the solution that is on the dollar.
The alcohol will ignite. The water will stay in the paper of the dollar protecting it from the flame.Advertisement
