I was performing a magic trick designed to make a five-dollar bill magically appear inside my buddy's wallet. I already owed him money from when my previous magic trick accidentally knocked one of his teeth out, so I figured if I pulled this off, I'd owe him $5 less for dental bills.
Here is the problem: the cash didn't end up in his wallet. It ended up in one of yours instead.
I did some investigating, and it turns out the fiver materialized in the wallet of someone right here in the Tucson area. Not only did my trick fail spectacularly, but I'm also out $5 now, which is a lot of money for an amateur magician in this economy.
Please check your wallet to see if you suddenly have an extra $5. If so, it's probably mine. Maybe you've had a couple of drinks and aren't sure how many five-dollar bills you started the night with. Regardless, it's mine—so check now, before you sober up and have to deal with the crushing shame and guilt of not doing the right thing immediately.
And once I get my $5 back, I promise I won't ask any questions about how or why you intercepted my magic trick.
