I asked people impromptu to select from four possible patters or story telling on a trick I was going to show them. 1. was pro-life, 2. was pro-racial reconciliation, 3. was bible read through, and 4. was 'new beginnings', all themes in January. They selected 'new beginnings' and this is what I did. The video ends early but my last line was that 'Jesus puts things in order and gives new beginnings'. Enjoy a January themed sleight of hand with dollar bills. The big money. LOL.
