Framing Washington by Ralph Rudolph

A (real) Banknote is shown from both sides. Performer tears out two small rectangles from the inside of the banknote. One of these rectangular tear-outs has its center removed to create a little frame, which is freely shown. Magician folds this little frame over the center beam of the larger frame and suddenly the little frame clearly hangs from the center beam of the larger frame. How did it get on there? This banknote with the linked little frame, can be handed out or given away as souvenir.

The performance is easy and does not require any complicated sleight-of-hand ability. To prepare the effect you will need to spend some time with arts and crafts. Once proficient in the preparation you can prepare a gimmick in about 20 minutes.
