Misled by Timothy Wenk

Video only, not ebook

Crafted by FISM award-winning creator Timothy Wenk and showcased by the legendary David Copperfield, this effect is a must-see.

In this stunning performance, a $20 bill and a pencil are borrowed from an audience member. The bill can be marked for later identification if desired.

The magic begins as you pierce the center of the bill with the pencil, leaving no doubt that it’s truly penetrated. Watch as the audience gasps—especially the bill’s owner—when you rip the pencil through the bill, creating a convincing sound of tearing paper! Amazingly, the bill remains completely intact. You can even repeat the effect, this time with the pencil appearing to melt through the bill in slow motion, leaving everyone in disbelief. Both the pencil and the bill can be examined afterward for complete assurance of the illusion.
