MAKE MONEY OUT OF TWINS

Teach them to act
TV and film companies need sets of identical children – even when their scripts call only for one kid. As young children tire easily, rules about their working hours are strict. Identical children can replace one another on the set, allowing filming to continue uninterrupted.

It’s the same principle for Labrador puppies in Andrex commercials, which also tire easily (and find it hard to follow a script). Producers need a lot of dogs. So start a puppy farm.

Get them running
Running a marathon is easier when two share the burden. The kids won’t even need to run 13 consecutive miles, providing there are sufficient places en route to mask a switch. Have a car on standby to rush the spare runner to the next switching point.

If you do decide to race them consecutively along the route, triplets or quads are preferred. If you’re caught, say you thought it was a relay.
