It's the addition of the second $5 bill (along with his mad skills) that allows him to pull it off in 360. That's a great improvement on the version that the kid demonstrates.
Yeah that kid's explanation helped me understand the guy's trick -- some similar moves, with the addition of being able to hide the one between the two fives during key moments. Really impressive handling.
I said that the other day and got quite a few DVs.\
Thought maybe the joke was over or something. I still think it's fucking funny.\
I don't think it will ever not be funny.
I think you're right since a person in a very, VERY high position of authority said recently that a single drop of water on a magnet and they don't work. 😬
He must be concealing it with the right hand the whole time, then switches to the left at the end. Never let's go of the right until the end. Or a skin colored patch in the right palm, not sure if that's a thing.
I think when he “converted” the $1 bill to two $5 bills, the $1 was folded in between the two $5s. Then when he was converting it back, he first switched the two $5 bills causing the $1 to be put it close to his fingers. Then when he converted them back, he put the two $5s in his left hand. You are right, his right hand makes a few slightly abnormal movements. He’s amazingly smooth though. I’ll never get to his level.
Certainly. Dude seems to be a professional magician mainly doing gigs for families and parties when available.
If he's using a known method he dug up, solid performance, happy for him. Lots of good magic in the books but many of us might not know because we wait for other magicians to update the performance slightly and put it up as a video tutorial lmao.
If he worked on it himself, or has his own unique handling, I'm still also happy for him lol. Devious work if he's using a handful of tricks for kids parties, but saving stuff like this for magicians and adults who pass the vibe check at said parties. I expect no less of magicians making a living, but I'm tickled seeing it in action.
That's Eric Jones. He's well-known for his coin magic - I've got magic tutorials by him.
This was probably at a magic convention (That guy in that other video who keeps on moving his fingers around? Also a convention. I don't bother going because I'm a hobbyist, but I'm pretty sure it's the same convention, should be Magic Live in Las Vegas).
Looks like the others are seeing it for the first time, but Jones might've been seeing it a 2nd time, watching it as a magician but taking part.
On another note, Eric Jones had a stroke a few days ago...wishing him the best.
oh wow you're right, Facebook happened to show me his recent post in the hospital the other day, looks like some serious issues right now. Best of luck to him.
I met him at the magic shop I grew up going to in Richmond VA. He was the in-house guy there before he blew up with his Metal Series and subsequent trajectory.
Really hope he is able to recover from his stroke. His coin work is some of the best there is.
I watched this frame by frame and my only conclusion is he has found a way bend space time. So smooth. So clean. Not even a hint of when, where, or how the slight is happening.
I think he has a skin colored pouch in his right hand that allows him to hide the notes inside which is why he folded them beforehand. Still really good sleight of hand if that’s how he pulled it off.
I wanted to dig deeper on this so here's the baseline assumptions: He turns $1 into $10 each growth cycle, so he makes $9 profit per cycle. I estimate he completes 1 cycle per 10 seconds (we'll assume he always has $1 bills ready to grab). So he makes $54 per minute, $3,240 per hour, $6,739,200 per year assuming he puts in your standard 2,080 work hours per year. Now if we assume he did this for around 40 years, he would have generated $269,568,000. Now if we assume an average inflation rate of 3% annually, their inflation adjusted total would be approximately $82,637,914.
At the .29 mark if you look at the bills. The center of the bill is soldi and not letting light through where the rest of the bill allows some light through. I suspect something is folded there.
Even if that’s true, when he changes the two fives back to a one dollar bill, where did the 2 fives go? You can see they’re not folded up in the one dollar bill.
This is easy, it's my paycheck over time. First I start with a dollar, then the company gives me a raise, after that the economy takes a dump and my wage is worth as much as my original salary.
He is palming the $1 bill with his right thumb the whole time. Then around the :16 mark, you seem him touch the bills with his left hand, he slides the $1 bill between the two $5 bills, then keep is thumb squeezing it there for the rest of the trick. Then he switch’s the $5’s due to a special yet inconspicuous way he folds the bills.
His name is Lanny Kibbey. This routine is called the “dream change” and he’s releasing it to the magic community the first part of January. Looks great
If you watch closely, exactly at 0:20, you'll have no idea how he's done it.
Yes, but if you do the same at 0:21, you still won’t know.
Here I am at :18 , dumbfounded
Damn. Missed it but I noted if you tune to 0:67 you’ll miss it as well
/s sorry not sorry
Oh, I figured it out at the 0:27 mark. He’s a fucking warlock!
Are you 27 on phone or computer there different timer counts down to 0
I can't believe he's done this.
bro deadass i keep rewinding that part and still have no clue how he does it
0:44.
inflation then deflation
The magic of economics
Close up magic is one thing, but this gentleman is “in the air” close up 360° ~ and he still nails it!
Also here is a kid doing a similar trick + tutorial and while it’s not as flawless ~ it’s a kid and I’m all about hyping up a little dude!
That 'kid' is some wicked smaht
It's the addition of the second $5 bill (along with his mad skills) that allows him to pull it off in 360. That's a great improvement on the version that the kid demonstrates.
Yeah that kid's explanation helped me understand the guy's trick -- some similar moves, with the addition of being able to hide the one between the two fives during key moments. Really impressive handling.
That little dude is seven years older now and apparently gave up magic five years ago, according to the last video he posted.
And give the kid an upvote, he's at almost 7000 views with only 68 likes!
I guess I’ll be the first.
Magnets.
It’s actually mirrors
And don't forget smoke
And strings
With a tin can attached to the end
This way the assistant can hear the cues ;)
Actually there's 2 women in there so the 1st doesn't get cut in half
There’s a tiny little assistant hiding in the dudes beard. Handing magician the bills
His hands have pockets
Can he put his hands in them? I’d like to see that.
He can't, because the magnets would repel them 🙄
I despise every single person who upvotes that insipid, banal fucking comment in every goddamn thread with an intense, burning passion.
I don’t wanna hear from no scientist! / Mo-fuckers lyin’ and making me pissed!
About tree fiddly! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I said that the other day and got quite a few DVs.\ Thought maybe the joke was over or something. I still think it's fucking funny.\ I don't think it will ever not be funny.
Mostly because nobody knows how magnets work.
Sure we do: it’s fucking magic!
They work pretty well as long as you don't get them wet
I think you're right since a person in a very, VERY high position of authority said recently that a single drop of water on a magnet and they don't work. 😬
🤣😅🥴🤦🏻♂️
Nah. This is 2025. Now it’s "AI". Moon landing footage? "AI"
How do they work?
Nobody knows
Aliens!
Swagnets
But how do they work? We are back to square one.
Happy cake day.
I think he does it with satanic ritual abuse
I watched this like 5 times and still have no explanation but r/blackmagicfuckery cause wow 🤯
Finally some real fucking magic
Delicious
I think he just ate the second bill while nobody was watching.
I'm always watching. And yes I saw him eat the bill.
He must be concealing it with the right hand the whole time, then switches to the left at the end. Never let's go of the right until the end. Or a skin colored patch in the right palm, not sure if that's a thing.
The folds / palm under his right thumb look a little unnatural. The contours don’t seem natural.
I think when he “converted” the $1 bill to two $5 bills, the $1 was folded in between the two $5s. Then when he was converting it back, he first switched the two $5 bills causing the $1 to be put it close to his fingers. Then when he converted them back, he put the two $5s in his left hand. You are right, his right hand makes a few slightly abnormal movements. He’s amazingly smooth though. I’ll never get to his level.
I didn't actually see anything. It's just the only explanation I got.
Yep, that’s what I saw him do.
I've not heard of skin-colored patches in all my years as a hobbyist magician.
I didn't think it was. He was just that good.
Certainly. Dude seems to be a professional magician mainly doing gigs for families and parties when available.
If he's using a known method he dug up, solid performance, happy for him. Lots of good magic in the books but many of us might not know because we wait for other magicians to update the performance slightly and put it up as a video tutorial lmao.

He beat the Devil in a rock off and was granted this one skill.
this. everyone knows the demon code prevents the devil from declining a rockoff challenge.
What were his terms? What was the gaaame?
He beat off the devil with a rock?
No. He beat off the devil in a rock
Taste my lightning!
And also the devil has to pay that guy's rent.
What the actual fuck?\ 🫨🤯🧐
Bryan Mbeumo!!
LOL
Dude was like "yeah, cool whatever. Another day in las Vegas."
That's Eric Jones. He's well-known for his coin magic - I've got magic tutorials by him.
This was probably at a magic convention (That guy in that other video who keeps on moving his fingers around? Also a convention. I don't bother going because I'm a hobbyist, but I'm pretty sure it's the same convention, should be Magic Live in Las Vegas).

I watched this frame by frame and my only conclusion is he has found a way bend space time. So smooth. So clean. Not even a hint of when, where, or how the slight is happening.
I think he has a skin colored pouch in his right hand that allows him to hide the notes inside which is why he folded them beforehand. Still really good sleight of hand if that’s how he pulled it off.
Fun fact: If this was real and he did it non-stop for the rest of his life, he wouldn't even come close to being the richest man in the world.
Even if he turned them into 100's, it would still take a whole year to become a billionaire.
That’s a challenge I’m willing to take. I might stop after a month with nearly $100M lol.
I wanted to dig deeper on this so here's the baseline assumptions: He turns $1 into $10 each growth cycle, so he makes $9 profit per cycle.

Finally some actual proper use of this sub Reddit.
No fucking clue, very cool trick
At the .29 mark if you look at the bills. The center of the bill is soldi and not letting light through where the rest of the bill allows some light through. I suspect something is folded there.
Even if that’s true, when he changes the two fives back to a one dollar bill, where did the 2 fives go? You can see they’re not folded up in the one dollar bill.
Look at the .14 sec mark and the creasing wheeze you can see something is folded
When he changes the two 5's to a 1 you can see in his left hand he has the folded fives. He hold the it so you can't see it.
Obviously it’s magic!
42 seconds ... Microseconds to microsecond...didn't see the switch back
Why he keep holding on to that corner near the end?
I think it's a fake piece of rubber thst looks like his palm. Fake thumb comments: don't look fake to me.
Magic.
The best i can do is magic.
Didn't know Rick Harrison does magic.
This trick is called taxes
Best thing in the convention?
What convention?
THE BLACK MAGIC FUCKERY CONVENTION......BITCH!
Your grandma slipping you the tip without anyone seeing her.
DM me if you want to know how he does this
I want to give him all my $1 bills and stop him half way thru that trick about a million times. I will figure it out be then!
Is it possible to be one of those hollow fake fingers?
I think this guy might be a real magician
The 5s are cubed up between his middle and ring fingers and the $1 bill at 48 seconds, when he flips bill over he grabs them with his left thumb.
https://imgur.com/gallery/vNlvstO
At any given time the stashed bills are always here or in-between the 2 5s.
Edit: idk why my Imgur link isn’t working….
I knew it was fishing line
It looks like it is folded up into a square on the right side of the dollar at first then he flips it over and it’s on the left side.
If you watch closely he’s wearing a prosthetic hand where he retrieves the money from
If the guy in holding his wrists isn't in on it, then it was definitely magnets.
You can see the tucked bill in the crook of the right thumb 12 seconds in.
No idea. But I do remember the magician at my wedding was using a fake thumb when doing close up magic. Could be something similar going on here ?
I love magic so much
This is easy, it's my paycheck over time. First I start with a dollar, then the company gives me a raise, after that the economy takes a dump and my wage is worth as much as my original salary.
Its not magic it's economics.
Some of his fingers are fake. He stuff it in and removes the money
Fuckeneomics in real time.
He is palming the $1 bill with his right thumb the whole time. Then around the :16 mark, you seem him touch the bills with his left hand, he slides the $1 bill between the two $5 bills, then keep is thumb squeezing it there for the rest of the trick. Then he switch’s the $5’s due to a special yet inconspicuous way he folds the bills.
The way he talks and moves is mesmerizing
I love how he’s like “thank you thank you” at the end like nothing
Magnets
Infinite money hack.
pause it at :22 and look closely between the inner 5 and his hand.
Ugh. I love magic. Solid move!
Absolutely love close up.
dude didnt even smile, WTF?
I saw the switch. Did you?
Magnets
I’m a magician out of Houston, TX and this is my mentor. This is an original trick of his.
Either a gimmick bill or slots in hand
He never lets anyone else touch the money. When it's a single bill, it looks very thick, when it's two, they look thin.
I'm going with props he's made beforehand but not sure on exactly how he made them. That and amazing slight of hand
Satans friend
His name is Lanny Kibbey. This routine is called the “dream change” and he’s releasing it to the magic community the first part of January. Looks great
Observer is in on it totally saw something go up the "sleeve"
Proof?
/s
Magnets... in his fingers probably.
Magnets
The money is ai
I’m eye was stick on the phone. I rewind and fast forward 🤯
This makes so much sense /s
Can we have a dedicated subreddit for tricksters like this one and leave this sub to what it's intended for? Thanks.
What do you think this sub is for if not this
Real magic, duh.
He wants people to summon Cthulhu
What? I'm confused even more now...
I would say that what we've just seen is the very epitomy of this sub?
What would you suggest should be in it? Just so I understand...
