The Pen Thing by Alan Rorrison & Mark Mason (Instant Download)

The classic "object through object" plot has captivated audiences for generations. Imagine witnessing a solid object seemingly melt through another, only for everything to be immediately handed out for examination. Alan Rorrison and Mark Mason, two titans of modern magic, have not just reimagined this beloved effect; they've revolutionized it with "The Pen Thing." This isn't just another magic trick; it's a testament to ingenious design and flawless execution, destined to become a staple in your everyday carry.

The Impossible Realized

"The Pen Thing" delivers an incredibly powerful and visually striking illusion that defies logic. You borrow any bill from a spectator, have it signed with the very Sharpie you're about to use, making the moment personal and impossible to replicate. With the bill wrapped securely around the Sharpie, you visibly, and almost hypnotically, cause the solid pen to penetrate the fabric of the currency. The Sharpie slowly melts through the signed bill, creating a moment of pure, unadulterated wonder that will leave your audience speechless. The beauty of this effect lies in its apparent simplicity and the impossibility of what they’ve just witnessed.

Unrivaled Deception & Examinability

What truly sets "The Pen Thing" apart is its unparalleled level of deception and complete examinability. Forget fiddly gimmicks or suspicious preparations. This effect utilizes a GENUINE SHARPIE – the exact kind you’d use for signing cards or props throughout your performance. There are absolutely NO SLOTS, NO SLITS, and NO SHELLS involved. Critically, the Sharpie is FULLY EXAMINABLE, and there's NO SWITCH required. Immediately after the stunning penetration, you can hand out both the signed bill and the Sharpie for thorough inspection, dispelling any notion of trickery and cementing the magic in their minds. This level of clean operation is what professional magicians dream of.

Masterful Innovation by Industry Giants

Alan Rorrison and Mark Mason have elevated the classic "pen through bill" plot to an entirely new dimension. This is not a slight modification; it features a BRAND NEW HANDLING & METHOD that streamlines the process and maximizes the visual impact. Esteemed magicians like Paul Wilson, Roddy McGhie, Matthew Parrot, and Peter McLanachan have universally praised "The Pen Thing" as a practical, brilliant, and stunning piece of magic that truly pushes boundaries. It's a testament to their genius that they’ve created an effect so deceptive, so visual, and yet so entirely practical for real-world performance. "The Pen Thing" isn't just a trick; it's a masterclass in magical innovation.

I have always been a huge fan of the pencil melting through a bill. It just looks so magical. Alan has taken this to this effect to another level, with a new gimmick, a new method and a totally new handling.

This uses a GENUINE SHARPIE. The VERY same sharpie you can use throughout your performance to have cards signed etc.

There are NO SLOTS, NO SLITS, NO SHELLS. The sharpie is FULLY EXAMINABLE, NO SWITCH.

Borrow any bill, have the bill signed with a sharpie. Wrap the bill around the sharpie, show the Sharpie INSIDE the bill. The Sharpie slowly and visually melts through the signed bill. This looks GREAT. Everything can be examined immediately after the effect.
