| Folding Money, Volume Two by Samuel Randlett, 1968 | |||||||
| 'Folding
Money, Volume Two' edited by Samuel Randlett was
published by Magic Inc of Chicago in 1968. It is a follow
up to 'Folding Money' by Adolfo Cerceda, which
was published in 1963. The work is aimed at magicians. It encourages them to use money folding as a means of income, not only by demonstrating the folding process but also by selling the finished items. The main contributors to the work are: William King, of the Hagerstown Trust bank, who set up a Gift Shop of money related items within the bank premises (some of which involve folding dollar bills). Victor Frenkil, a businessman, CEO of Baltimore Contractors, and an expert in folding single dollar bills into letters, numbers, monograms and words of up to five-letters. The information the work contains on Victor Frenkil can be found here. The work also contains designs for money folds by Neal Elias, John Nordquist and Robert Neale. **********
