Revolutionizing a Classic: The Pen Thing by Alan Rorrison & Mark Mason
Prepare to witness a magical evolution with 'The Pen Thing,' a groundbreaking digital download from the brilliant minds of Alan Rorrison and Mark Mason. The timeless 'pencil through bill' illusion has captivated audiences for generations, but now, Rorrison has elevated this beloved classic to an entirely new dimension. Forget everything you thought you knew about this effect; 'The Pen Thing' introduces a revolutionary gimmick, a fresh method, and a totally original handling that will redefine your close-up performances.
The Unbelievable Effect Unveiled
Imagine this: you borrow any bill from a spectator, have it signed with a common Sharpie marker – the very same Sharpie you might use throughout your set to sign cards or make other magical marks. With uncanny precision, you wrap the signed bill around the Sharpie, clearly showing the marker fully encased within the paper. Then, before their very eyes, the Sharpie begins to slowly, impossibly melt through the signed bill. It's a breathtakingly visual moment that defies logic. The best part? Immediately after the jaw-dropping penetration, everything – the Sharpie, the bill, their signed mark – can be handed out for full, uninhibited examination. There's nothing to hide, no suspicious moves, just pure, inexplicable magic.
Why 'The Pen Thing' Stands Apart
What truly sets 'The Pen Thing' apart from any previous iteration of this effect is its ingenious design and seamless execution. This isn't just any prop; you're performing with a GENUINE SHARPIE. This means it can be used before, during, and after the trick for other magical applications, adding to the illusion of an ordinary object performing extraordinary feats. Critically, there are NO SLOTS, NO SLITS, and NO SHELLS involved. The Sharpie remains fully examinable, with absolutely NO SWITCH required. This commitment to genuine, ungaffed appearances is what makes the magic so powerful and convincing. Paul Wilson praises it as 'a practical evolution of a classic method,' while Roddy McGhie calls it 'an incredibly clever solution.' Matthew Parrot notes it's 'a beautifully visual piece of magic that can be examined and used as part of your every day carry.' Peter McLanachan adds, 'The Pen Thing is devilishly brilliant. It is one of the very few non-card items I keep on me when I am performing.' These testimonials underscore the impact and practicality of this incredible release.

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.
