Burning Money Science Magic Trick

This fire magic trick is based on science. If you light a match to ordinary paper currency, you'll be burning money. If you perform this trick, you'll light the bill on fire and still have it to spend later. The "trick" is to treat the bill with a solution of alcohol and water. The alcohol will burn, while the water will protect the money from catching fire.

You do realize the table caught on fire

[futsang]

@Tommy2343 Nah, it was just alcohol dripping onto it. No tables were injured in the making of this video :)

Nearly burnt his hand

[futsang]

@manu6409 It gets hot, but it's not bad. The isopropyl alcohol burns at a low temp, plus the water protects your hand even as it protects the paper.

@futsang so could you do that on your hand then?

[futsang]

@poopymexican Some people do, but there's a good chance you'll get burned! The bill doesn't catch on fire because you don't reach its ignition point, but it still gets very hot. The same temperature will burn skin. You can tolerate the heat for a few seconds at most. There are lots of YouTube videos of people who pour alcohol on themselves and set themselves on fire. Not a good plan.

Did you BURN yourself?????????

[Fawziraq]

If the fire turns RED (actual red) then your bill is burning. If it started turning orange, your bill is a counterfeit.
