The Midas Machine has to be among the best Tenyo gimmicks, being a very visual transformation of a blank piece of paper into a $10 bill. On first glance the packaging is mainly functional, though I love the currency-styled font used and the reverse image lettering. What is clever about this package is that the semi-printed $10 bill inside is actually part of the packaging, not part of the trick. The whole thing is rather elaborate and in its day the trick was fairly expensive. If you buy one of these be sure to save some time in your day to locate an old $10 bill - and in the process just know that you're going to get lot of funny looks from bank tellers expecting that your next move will be to draw a gun.
