When I used to do illusions I had a variation on the disapearing money trick where I appeared to put the money into an envelope and then 'accidentally set it on fire allowing the audience to think the trick had gone wrong. In doing so I would make a point of not trusting in money. Later I would make the money re-appear (often from behind the donators ear or in their pocket. This works great at kids parties when you get a parent to donate a large value note. For some reason you always got their attention as the envelope goes up in flames! :lol: With the recovery trick you can also make the point of trusting in god and not your own understanding.
