need help making flying money booth

[muibubbles]

i hope this is the right section.. if not mods please move accordingly!

So for christmas my grandma wants money, so instead of just giving her money i thought id make it fun and try making a money booth like one of these..

i figure id make the frame out of 2x4s then use vinyl as the walls... now i need help figuring out how to make the money "fly" i have 2 leaf blowers that i figured would be ample to make the money fly but how will i do so?

i orinigally thought of makeing a platform elevated so the air blows up directly but thinking of it now, if air blowing directly at one of the walls of the machine might be enough to lift the money? what do you guys think would be the easiest, and cheapest way to replicate this concept?

thanks in advance!

If you could get a furnace blower motor, you could fasten it to a duct on the outside of the booth. Use some thin Lexan for the booth itself and a grating for the bottom floor. Under the floor, you would have to have a duct that would kind of spiral around and upwards to get the money to go up and spin. Some sheetmetal or even thin lexan bent around would accomplish that. You might also need a vent on top so the air would flow around and not be deadheaded in the booth.

i think the lexan might be a little too expensive... im pretty much gonna use this once and probably toss it so i dont want to spend too much...

how could i spiral the air? only thing coming to my mind is like when im cleaning the garage and the leaf blower hits the corner all the dust flies left, right, and spirals upwards..

could i just curl one of the floor corners and aim the air at that?

I have always just seen the air blow into a corner. It will go every which way most of the time
