Everyone has seen pen through bill tricks. They are everywhere and they don’t impress like they did
20 years ago. Timothy Wenk has upped the game big time. Openly showing a pen laying across a folded
bill and slowly melting it through, turns pen through bill into a slow motion wonder.
I’ve
had a blast with this thing making restaurant servers both puzzled and happy. I use my own $2 bill,
folded diagonally as Timothy shows so the pen can be clearly seen laying inside. I have the server
tightly hold the bill while I explain the magical strangeness of $2 bills. In front of their eyes,
I slowly rotate the pen down and through and out of the bill, leaving them holding the bill. I
offer the pen (they rarely want to inspect it)… I pocket the pen and tell them to keep the $2. An
inexpensive tip and a happy worker. Win, win.
Hello, thanks for the great review! I love the look of this trick, but I am hoping to get the opinion of someone who uses it. I am a magician in Australia and we have crappy plastic money with lots of clear see-through sections. Will this effect be possible with Australian money? Pulling out American money always looks dodgy if you are not on America. Thanks for your help. 😀
