Make Your Pockets Virtually Theft-Proof. Making any copy of money is a very ticklish subject. Yes, there are legal loopholes (although I'm not aware of any that say you are allowed to make a convincing copy if the back is from a different bill - most of them involve things such as copies that are much too large, or too small) that allow for copies under certain circumstances. On the other hand, even perfectly legal options aren't always wise.
I studied graphic arts in high school, and one of my teachers allowed one of the students to make a legal copy of a twenty dollar bill. It was oversized - significantly so (I forget the legally allowed dimensions at the time, but it qualified) and was only printed on one side. The other side was gummed. The guy who printed them up, or one of his dumb friends, tried to spend one in the cafeteria.

This Video from Youtube user Brusspup shows you how to do a cool science experiment from home that will make water appear to freeze in mid-air.
The sound waves from the speaker will cause the water droplets to fall in a uniform pattern. Combine that with a camera that follows the same frequency in frames per second, and a picture is taken at a time when a new droplet is in the same spot. The effect is that the same droplet is frozen in mid air, when really it is 24 new droplets in the exact same spot. Tune the Subwoofer to a slightly lower frequency than the fps and the water appears to go back up into the tube. Brusspop explains how to do it yourself in the video description: This is really simple but has such an awesome effect. [h/t: BusinessInsider] Mind-Blowing Illusion Makes Water Freeze in Mid-Air.
