Comments: Originally found in Folding Money Fooling, but now with an instructional DVD that makes it all clear. From the book, "A dollar bill has been braided. Close examination reveals that it has been slit twice lengthwise in three bands which extend nearly to the ends of the bill. The braiding is real although the bands have never been separate. It looks impossible. The bill can be borrowed, transformed into this impossible object and returned to the owner in less than two minutes. The result is a distinctive memento."
