Just found this on YouTube. A very cool variation of Pen Thru Bill.

OK,

Since nobody seems to have posted any review of this effect, here is mine.

I bought this after seeing the vid on you tube.

I like the fact that it is seemingly impromptu as nothing but a bank note is needed in the spectators eyes.

The gimmick is very very well made, will easily last a generation and possibly nuclear war. It is very powerful from at least 2 inches away if you know what I mean, so powerful that I'm afraid I may lose a finger if I'm not careful!

The dvd that comes with it is pretty dire though as all that is on it is the video on youtube then a 2 min explanation. Also it is in Japanese. But that doesn't matter as it is pretty self explanatory.

Price is a bit steep but I do prefer this to any pen through effect bar The Invisible Hole and Vanni Bossi's version.

This will last a lifetime and will always be in my pocket along with a thumbtip.

The only thing that let's it down in my opinion is the price. A bit steep for what it is.

Gets great reactions and is very visual.

9 out of 10.


Best regards

Alan

Hi boydy
I like this effect but I couldn't pull the trigger when I saw the price.
Thanks for the review.

If I lived only one week that would be true. Mine broke the first week I had it. I never had a chance to perform it because it broke while learning the effect. Stay away from this piece of JUNK !

Looks very good, shame it gets such a poor review, could it be the one that broke was faulty ? Have you asked for arefund ?
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Hi
I tried asking for a replacement. I was told that since I wasn't the original buyer, I was out of luck. I bought it from a seller here at the Café. It was like new since the original owner decided it wasn't for him. Stay away from this piece of JUNK !
