Puncture by Alex Linian (US Quarter) - A borrowed quarter held at your fingertips is visibly punctured with a pen... leaving the quarter shish-ka-bobbed onto the pen!
The Effect A borrowed quarter held at your fingertips is visibly punctured
with a pen...leaving the quarter shish-ka-bobbed onto the pen! The
permanently punctured quarter and pen are immediately handed out for
examination. There's only one explanation...you've somehow discovered how to really poke a pen through a solid coin!
The visual illusion of the pen going through their own quarter is 100% "oh my god" perfect.
The actual borrowed quarter is in full view as the pen contacts the coin.
The pen is normal and examinable... but has a very specific property that makes the effect possible
complete with pen, gimmick and dvd instructional.

You get everything you need in this little package. And it's not hard. Alex is a creative fellow and I wish this was on David's special on TV. It seriously looks like what you are saying you are doing. The pen goes straight through and you can hand out the pen and quarter for examination.
This is the perfect opener that you need!
Quick, visual, and lets the spectators know you mean business.

This trick takes some practice to really make it look good, but if you put in the time and the effort you really can make it really stand out as an effect. People freak out with this and is really good for groups and can be done on stage. Add to cart.

Sweet coin penetration
by Dovie Kivman from New York on 04/02/2010 14:54:08
You borrow a quarter from someone, pull out a pen, and visually penetrate the coin with the pen! This is a lot like Sankey's "Smashed!", but is more visual and more convincing (in my opinion).
This comes with printed instructions, DVD, specially made quarter and a normal pen.
I wouldn't put this in the "easy" category, but I wouldn't put it in the "knuckle-busting, sweat blood and tears" category either. If you want a very visual, hard-hitting pocket trick, this is it.

Great Idea

The method is diabolical and it really looks like you are pushing a pen through a coin. The main move is a little tricky and will take some practice but it is definitely worth the time. The effect is great and rarely seen in magic. Oh! I almost forget: the whole in the coin is real and the coin ca be examined which, in my opinion, makes it 10x better.
