The "$100 Bill Switch" was invented by circus performer Vladimir Vladimirov. It has proven to be one of the strongest, and most popular effects in all of close-up magic.
The original effect: A $1 bill is folded up and then unfolded in an extremely fair manner. It is revealed, on unfolding, to have changed into a $100 bill.
The technique used in that trick lends itsself to many other routines, and has inspired much creative thinking since its advent.
