Malian Moulaye was arrested in China for doing what every 12 year old has wanted to do. He demonstrated his new process to turn blank paper into real U.S. currency for a local businessman. The businessman was impressed and spent about $16,000.00 to invest in the process.
Mr. Moulaye showed the businessman, named only as Zhang in press reports, how he could dip blank pieces of paper into a magic liquid and within seconds the paper would turn into $100.00 bills.
Mr. Zhang, being no fool, took the magically produced money to a bank to confirm they were real. Sure enough, they were. Apparently
the process of turning the blank paper into money didn?t cause Mr.
Zhang much concern; he just wanted to make sure the bills produced at
the end of the magical process were authentic.
Mr. Zhang handed over the approximately $16,000.00 to Mr. Moulaye and soon found the process did not work for him. He reported the scheme to local police and Mr. Moulaye was arrested.
As political historians recall, the communist government of China
has banned the distribution of the famous Johnson-Smith Catalog of
Tricks and Gags where a Magic Money Maker could be purchased for just
$1.85. The Magic Money Maker advertisement
advises that it does not ?really produce real money ? this is a trick
for entertainment only.?
On a related note, Inside Magic will soon be moving its office to China with about a fifty Nickels to Dimes.
