A JOKE shop owner got the giggles when a punter complained that a money trick did not print real cash.
Miles Jackson, 42, sent five of his “Million Dollar Magic Money Makers” to a customer in the US.
The £4.99 toys use rollers to print fake cash.
But the recipient fired off an email demanding a “100 per cent refund” after he got fooled by joke feedback online.
Giving it one star on Trustpilot, he fumed: “All the reviews that said it paid for their rent and bills are lies.
“This item is a complete waste of time.”
Miles, who has run The Scarborough Joke and Magic Shop for 25 years, said: “I just find it hilarious.
“The thing they thought they were buying doesn’t exist.
“And if it did exist, it would be illegal.
“It doesn’t actually turn paper into real money — they’ve bought it from a joke shop.”
It came after regular customers posted spoof reviews.
One read: “I bought the money printer from the joke shop.
“It’s printing £50 notes faster than I can spend them.”

Married dad-of-two Miles added: “I’ve had to add a disclaimer on the website to say it’s a trick and doesn’t really print money from nothing.
“In all these years we’ve never had anyone mistake a joke item for something real.”
