Magic Tricks

AT THE POINT OF PENCIL BREAKAGE,

THE BIG, FULL PENCIL C O M P L E T E L Y DISAPPEARS FROM VIEW.

THAT IS NOT REALISTIC.

IN REALITY, A SPECTATOR WOULD SEE THE BREAK. NOT JUST A CLOSED LEFT HAND, AND THEN REVEALING THE "TWO" BROKEN PARTS IS NOT BELIEVABLE, TURNING THE HANDS OVER AND SUCH.

BUT THE RESTORATION IS A THING OF BEAUTY, AND I AM WORKING ON BREAKAGE.

MY SUGGESTION IS HIDING A THIRD, MINI-BROKEN-ENDED PENCIL PIECE TO SHOW IN THE LEFT HAND AT THE TIME OF BREAKAGE, SOMEHOW HAVING -- PRE-SHOW -- ATTACHED THE LITTLE GUY TO THE WHOLE PENCIL.
