Surprisingly Charitable Magic Tricks

This Money Magic Trick Gives the Homeless $100 Instead of $1

Magicians have their ways with turning one object into another, as apparent through this money magic trick. But this particular money magic trick is more than just a fascinating show -- it's a feel-good charity that surprises the homeless with a $100 bill.

Utah-based Stuart Edge is the magician who took $1,000 of his own money to try this project. His video on YouTube, titled Money Magic Trick for Homeless, documents his journey around town, fist-bumping with the homeless to miraculously transform a dollar bill into a $100 one.

By far the most charitable magic trick ever, this project is also the funnest way to deliver money. The video in itself is a feel-good reminder of the good in the world. And the magician promises, those $100 bills won't be changing back into dollar bills later.
