Dollar Bill on a String

This one is classic. You attach a string to the underside of a dollar bill and hide behind a corner. And when somebody reaches down... you yank it away. If the victim really doesn't get what's happening, you can keep pulling ant they'll keep chasing. Fun and simple.

Step 1: Gathering Materials

You only need a few, pretty common things for this project:
- A dollar bill (Crisp and clean is more tempting)
- Fishing line (Clear is better, but all I could find was a light blue)
- A small keychain ring (Optional)
- Tape (Scotch)
- Scissors (I couldn't think of anything to put in the parenthesese here)

Some people did this across the street, so when they weren't looking, i hid in the ditch. Then, when they weren't looking again i took the $5 and ran home.

You should do that to a bunch of coins, go up to a vending machine stick them in and see if they will come back. Havent tried it yet but it might work.

nah, it doesn't work. there is a little trapdoor thing that stops the coin coming back up

~~Thats a great idea! I've seen this program on TV about how vending machines work... They have a blade that automatically slices after the coin is picked up by the sensor therefore cutting anything connected to the coin.

Works real well with a bank bag. The kind you make deposits in. Make sure it has a banks logo on the side thats up. Stuff with folded newspaper. Attach the same way and attach to a fishing rod fr more fun... You would not believe who will bite

[deansep]

If you put it in a vending machine it might not work beacuse the vending machine scans the bill.

Classic! (As you said in the beginning.)
Man, I should have posted this, but completely forgot about it.
Though, it is a hilarious classic.
