1 X-Static Dollar Bill: a dollar bill sticks to another by "static electricity"

12 Polaroid Card Trick: a bill passed over spread cards is turned over to reveal a mini-version of the selected card
16 Perfect Prediction: the spectator thinks the magician has made a wrong prediction, but when the bill is looked at again, the prediction matches the selected card (variation of Polaroid Card Trick)
