Invisible Ink Banknote Magic

INSTA: @halfasleepchris

Most banknotes glow under Ultra Violet light as a security feature, including the US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Philippine Peso, Pound Sterling, Euro, Brazilian Real, Malaysian Ringgit and more. But some are slightly boring, so in this video I print my own invisible ink over the top to create magical secret hidden designs.

Yeah... that black ink wasn't supposed to be so obvious. Once it dried you couldn't read it though!

Invisible ink is the coolest thing ever

Everywhere else: Really hard to replicate the invisible ink
USA: *red line*

Banknotes can carry so many secrets! And just to stop thieves to not copy them!

I don’t think I’ve ever felt quite so proud of someone I’ve never met. Thanks Chris. Farewell Steve. Crikey!!

1:13 Actually, in the US you can draw on currency! You just can't intentionally try to rip/destroy it.
So go turn Benjamin Franklin into a pirate
Edit: just don't try to change the number on the bill lol, that is actually illegal

It just wouldn't be a Half-Asleep Chris banknote video without it mentioning UV features.

1:23 reminded me of the gravity falls line "you call that Ben Franklin? He looks like a woman!"

As someone who has been there on the 4th of July, the Lincoln memorials invisible ink looked absolutely amazing

I love how the printer said “comment if you can read this!”

The aurebesh writing on the star wars dollar says “Light darkness a balance”

[mildredthegoat]

"Hey, can I use your printer?" "Sorry it's got elephant poo stuck inside it!"

Love Steve Irwin and Queenie hanging together
