US $2 bills were frequently used at race tracks and in brothels during the late 19th century, when two dollars was the going rate in those pre-inflation days.
For a long time "proper" people tended to reject the bills because they were afraid others would think they had been engaging in those activities. In some of the more rural parts of the country that association morphed into the unfounded belief that the bills themselves could become tainted. The eventual "solution" was to tear off one or more corners of the bills so that the the "bad influences could leak out".
In reality, a paper banknote is no more "cursed" than a stamp, newspaper, or grocery bag, but incredibly the superstition persists even today in some limited parts of the US.

What is the value of a 1996 US 20 dollar bill with the front printed off center?
ts value depends on how much the bill is off centered. If the bill simply has uneven borders it's not worth anything extra. If you can see part of a different bill it will be worth more. In any case it should be inspected by a dealer or appraiser who specializes in error currency.

More information is needed to ID the bill. The first official US $2 bills were issued during the Civil War. On the off-chance that the date you see is 1776, it's quite possible you're looking at the back of a modern $2 bill.

How did david blaine move the seal on the dollar bill?
David Blaine controls the focus of the crowd to pull off his tricks. In the dollar bill trick, he asks the audience for a dollar bill. He proceeds to move the seal on the bill from one side to another. When he gets the dollar bill from the audience, it is discreetly replaced with his "fake" dollar bill with the seals on both sides of the bill. He slowly tugs on the bill, and shows only the part he wants the audience to see, as it looks like the seal is moving along to the other side of the bill.
How do you move a seal on a dollar bill?
Simply put: get 2 dollar bills with the same letter seal. Get an eraser or sandpaper and use it to erase the seal off the trick dollar. Cut one seal out of the other bill. Use a scanner or copy machine to copy the seal onto the other dollar (taping the bill to a sheet of paper so it will feed through the copier). then use glue to glue to place the seal you cut off onto the trick bill. then it should rub off the bill and stick to your thumb. the rest is slight of hand a showmanship!
