SUMMARY- In his introduction, Mr. Caruba mentions the magician John Mueller, who impressed Bill by creating a ring for him from a dollar bill. This inspired Mr. Caruba to add this to his magic repertoire, working out his own designs. This is the first of Mr. Caruba's two books on the subject.
You'll note from the models offered where Mr. Caruba probably spent a lot of his time, with gambling-themed folds and ending with the iconic Playboy bunny! I was happy when I ran across this book and realized what it was, feeding two of my addictions at once. I'm a little surprised Mr Caruba didn't include his patter - the story magician's tell - when they perform a feat for our entertainment. Not all magicians do this, of course, but the bill folding sort of cries out for it, doesn't it? Maybe in the next book...
Interesting side note: Mr. Caruba published his Money Bunny as "Buck Bunny" in Playboy",s Dec. 1979 issue.
