Description & Effect
Unleash an Impromptu Miracle with 'Driven' by Cameron Francis
Prepare to stun your audience with 'Driven,' an incredibly clean and utterly baffling 'Pen Through Bill' effect from the acclaimed mind of Cameron Francis. This isn't just another magic trick; it's a powerful, impromptu illusion designed to leave spectators speechless, wondering how a solid object can pass through another without a trace. Acclaimed magicians like Alan Rorrison, Jeff Pierce, and Iain Moran have praised 'Driven' for its directness and deceptive nature, hailing it as one of the best ungimmicked versions available. As Alan Rorrison, creator of Misleading Misled, states, 'Cracking direct approach to the routine. Almost as good as mine….Ok, it IS as good as mine!'
Witness the Impossible: Phase One - The Vertical Pierce
Imagine this: You borrow a pen and a bill from a spectator. The bill is folded, and you openly insert the pen vertically into the fold. With a dramatic slam, the pen visibly punches straight through the bill. You pull it out, and the bill is unfurled, revealing... absolutely no damage! It's a moment of pure, impossible penetration that happens right before their eyes, leaving them to question everything they just saw. The bill remains pristine, ready for immediate inspection. This phase is quick, direct, and incredibly visual.
Beyond Belief: Phase Two - The Horizontal Melt
Just when they think they've seen it all, you repeat the impossible with a twist. The bill is folded again, and this time the pen is cradled horizontally within its fold. Spectators can clearly see the pen inside the bill. With a slow, deliberate sawing motion, the pen visually melts through the bill. It's a breathtaking display of visual magic that defies logic. Once again, the bill is opened and shown to be perfectly intact, with no rips, tears, or holes whatsoever. As Chris Congreave noted, it '…absolutely brilliant! Looks fantastic and totally clean.'
The Power of Pure Impromptu Magic
What makes 'Driven' truly exceptional is its complete reliance on pure sleight of hand. There are absolutely no gimmicks involved. Nothing is added, and nothing is taken away. There are no tears or slits in the bill. This effect is 100% impromptu, meaning you can perform it on the fly with any borrowed pen (or pencil) and any bill.

Impromptu pen through bills do not get cleaner than this! The following description is exactly what the spectator sees.
Phase 1
The performer borrows a pen and a bill. The bill is folded in half and the pen is inserted vertically into the fold. The bill is unfolded so that the spectators can clearly see the pen is in the bill. The bill is refolded. The performer then slams his hand down onto the end of the pen, driving the tip straight through the fold of the bill. The pen is pulled through the bill and placed behind the performer's ear. The bill is then opened… and shown to be completely unharmed!
Phase 2
The bill is once again folded. The pen is then inserted horizontally into the bill so that it is cradled in the fold. The spectators can clearly see that the pen is inside the bill (and it really is!). The performer then grips the tip of the pen and moves it in a sawing motion. The pen melts right through the bill! The bill is opened and seen to be completely unharmed. Everything can be immediately handed out for examination.
