I REALLY like the stealth pen. Over all of the other products out there for pen through dollar, THIS is the best. Of course it's not really much different, but it seems like Penguin is known most for it which says something for a customer. If you are looking for a DURABLE gimmick to freak out your friends with, THIS is where to go. But overall the pen looks really nice and I personally have not had ANY trouble with it. I lost the tip once but that was my own fault and they sell replacements :P

In magic, I always look for items that will last forever, items that for the money I spend will be in my arsenal to be used over and over and pack a large punch. The pen through dollar effect is definitely one of them, and this pen is priced beyond fair. For $10, you'll have a quality pen through dollar that will last you the years if you take care of it, and in case you lose a piece of the gimmick, the replacement is only half the price! Well done on this one Penguin!

You'll have to figure this one out yourself folks. No instructions at all came with the pen. No tips, no hints, nothing at all. I had to accidentally figure out the secret. OK, that said, this is a cool little device.

very creative, fun and easy!

lots of fun and easy to learn.

Nice style, blends in well and looks natural. I prefer the fatter type pens they seem to be a little easier to handle however this item is great. It's a worker. I'm gonna grab a few of them just to have around in various places when I need them. GREAT ITEM. A CLASSIC.

I have been doing this for over 10 years. I usually perform Gregory Wilsons recap first then the pen through dollar. Great little routine, afterward I tell them "heres the real trick" I proceed to put their bill in my pocket. Every time without fail they tell me to keep it. Buy it, master it, use it.

This is the stealth pen. An incredible effect! Although the trick is easy to guess, your audience will never be able to prove it, because the key equipment is so small that it can be palmed in a child's hand. Then your audience will forget that idea and think of something outrageous (like you are a superhero). Go to the bar with this, and you will be very happy at night. :)

I love this effect. it's super visual and an absolute crowd pleaser. I take it everywhere with me in my backpack. the concept is simple and brilliant. the fact that everything is examinable truly sells it. people always ask me to do this one again.

It's amazing how much I've used this thing. I perform more than anything else I do. And the best part is that it really doesn't appear to be an effect until you restore the bill.

One evening, I left the pen in "writable-mode" on the coffee table while some people were over. Someone even picked up the pen and used it to write down a phone number without noticing a thing (like they should. the pen looks completely normal). Then someone mentioned if anyone had seen the new bills. I immediately thought to myself 'Yes! Perfect performance opportunity!". He took out his own bill to show everyone. I now had the perfect situation to perform so I started saying how apparently there's this new security feature that is only found on the newer bills. I asked if anyone had a pen. "Here's one!". Perfect. Threw in some more patter and BAM pen was through the dollar. Got a few "Hey!" 's and "Wow that's nice" 's. The illusion is completely convincing. As magicians, we tend to think this is a magical part of the effect. It's not. At this point, the audience believes that you actually stabbed their bill. Got a bunch of gasps when I ripped out the pen and restored it. They grabbed at the bill amazed and confused without even asking for the pen. I cleaned up the pen and set it down but no one even asked to see it. Everyone was talking about it the whole night.
I love this so much because of how practical it is and how easy it is to do at the drop of a hat. I bring it EVERYWHERE and have gotten so much mileage out of it. Buy yourself 2 or so. You WILL use this.
