Arraignment

What do a one-dollar bill and a quarter have in common?

They both have George Washington's face. And with “Arraignment,” you can make him vanish from one and appear on the other.

“Arraignment” is Josh Janousky’s go-to routine when performing close-up, and one that he’s kept a secret for more than a decade. And now, he’s finally releasing it to the magic world.

You cleanly show both a coin and a one-dollar bill. With a wave of the hand, the portrait on the coin vanishes completely. The participant opens the bill they have been holding the whole time, and the missing portrait is now printed directly onto it. There are now two George Washingtons on the bill.

You then hand out everything to be fully examined, and the bill can be given away as a souvenir.

“Arrangement” is surprisingly practical and made to be performed in the real world. It’s highly visual, easy to follow, and perfect for restaurants, bars, casual performances, and social media.

What’s great is that the gimmick stays completely invisible even in plain sight.

In the over two hours of instruction, you’ll learn everything from setup to multiple different ways to make Washington travel from the coin to the bill, including a version that uses no sleight of hand, and versions that use help from gimmicks, or just pure sleight of hand made for maximum visual impact.

You’ll also learn three hard-hitting bonus routines:

“Counterfeit”: Josh's own highly visual bill change that’s one of his favorites. “Inner Origami: The Bill Change of Happiness”: A beautiful and natural bill change from the talented Jeff Prace. “The Shape of Astonishment”: Authorized by magic legend Paul Harris, this incredible effect creates another unforgettable visual moment.

Each set includes:

• One precision-crafted quarter shell
• Two custom quarter gaffs without Washington’s portrait
• An accessory pack containing special consumables, metal plates, and magnets
• Approximately 50 foil sheets
• Two hours of video instruction, performances, and bonus routines

You’ll need to supply an ordinary quarter and one-dollar bill. If you plan to borrow the quarter, use a version featuring George Washington on the front and an eagle on the back.
