This effect has become a very popular one with Magicians, ever since David
Copperfield presented it on one of his TV. spectaculars. It is the visual,
and incredible penetration of a borrowed note or bill, by an ordinary pencil,
with everything performed in front of their eyes.
In effect the performer borrows a note. This is placed over a
piece of paper of the same size and creased in half. A pencil is
pushed through the note and the paper. The crease is opened out, and the
audience can see the pencil going right through the borrowed note and the
paper from both sides. The pencil can now be pulled away, ripping through
the note and paper at the crease. Yet when they are opened out again,
the ordinary paper is found to be ripped as one would expect, but the note
is in tact and totally unharmed. The entire effect is so clean and convincing,
that the audience can't believe their eyes. Yet it is quite easy
to perform, requiring only a few handling trials on your part.
