    I think if you catch the 07:35 to Hogwarts they may be able to assist you with changing £20 in to £50.

    If you have any successs please let un know, there's a good fellow.

    If you go into your bank and give the cashier 5 x £20 pounds notes and ask for 2 X50, they will give you them.

    Maybe a magician will be able to assist???

    Only kidding, as mentioned most banks will do it for you for free. Although like HSBC they might ask you to pay your money (in £20 notes) into your account and then withdraw the amount again in £50 notes.

    Wait until one of your teeth falls out.

    Wrap it in the £20 note and put it under your pillow.

    In the morning, the tooth will be gone, but the £20 note will have magically been replaced by a new £50 note.

    Failing that, I'm afraid you will indeed have to exchange 5 £20 notes for only two £50 notes. Any bank will do this entirely for free, although depending upon the volume involved, don't be surprised to find a few gentlemen spring from the back of the bank, asking you what (if anything) you know about money laundering.

    Any of the banks will do this. They charge a £30 fee per note.

    There was a scene in a Laurel and Hardy film where a couple of con artists tried to sell our heroes an Inflato machine whose owners could insert a dollar bill in one side and out the other side would come a ten dollar bill.
    Having completed the sale Ollie said to Stan about the salesmen "A pair of princes". While walking away one of the salesmen said "A pair of clowns".
