How on earth ???

I saw this guy's show in Reno and he went to great pains the whole time to show people he didn't have an 'ear-piece'. He did some pretty freaky things like reciting word for word parts from the dictionary (it reminded me of a part from the mothman prophecies with Richard Gere). I hate to be a spoiler but this is just killing me and I'd love to know how it works:

This is something I picked up off the net.....his trick is by educating yourself about US currency.

"Some more trivia for you. The number below the serial number is directly related to the first letter in the serial number. On the dollar bill above, the number “12″ indicates the first letter is an “L”.

It used to be an old bar trick that worked on the older bills.

If you have someone take out a bill, face up, and fold the left side over the left, so that the last couple of numbers in the serial number are visible. In the case of your dollar bill above, fold it so that “916 C” still show. You tell your mark that you can guess the letter at the beginning of the serial number. In all actuality, you just need to see the number “12″."
