Honestly, the gimmick is made like the cheap toys you buy in Chinatown in new York city if not worse. It is very angle sensitive and am pretty disappointed. I only wasted 5$ on this as I bought it from the cool box but I definitely do not recommend this.

If ever there was a trick that especially was made to separate a fool from his money, this is it. This is a youtube magicians dream. In fact it's far too angle sensitive for anything else. If you are a working magician this is tantamount to junk. If you are a beginner you will have many hours of self amusement in the mirror. I found it an affront to my intelligence the way Mark and Jesse seem to wax poetic about the value and strength of this garbage on the dvd. Are you guys kidding me, or yourselves?!! This is my second purchase from Feinberg. My first was magicap and I could very well give that this same exact review. My two purchases from Jesse have allowed me to ascertain that his primary focus is how to sell as much product as possible, without contributing anything of real performance value to our art. With this product he has succeeded! Also the craftsmanship of the gimmick was poor. I noticed that this product was out of stock.....Good riddance, Penguin don't tarnish your reputation with a restock, not even at a cool box price! Perhaps you could reduce it to a new section called JUNK DRAWER TREASURES and sell it for a quarter! Damn it!!, this doesn't deserve one star!!!!

It has a good concept, however it's very angle sensitive. Unfortunately I received mine with my gimmick already broken.

Penguin has the best, all are expected to have a bad one. but this is possible the worst buy in magic. Why Penguin continues to feature this one. Well it is beyond me. Save your money.

My gimmick goes together crooked and it makes it look obviously fake. The original price on this junk is $29.95, so the real trick here is how Jesse Feinberg and the Chris Angel bunch magically extract that amount of money for something that probably cost 25 cents to make. Good thing I bought this from the Penguin Cool Box for $4.95, shipping $4.50, and 37 cents tax, to total $10.27. That way I only wasted about $10. Save your money

It looked really good in the trailer but when I received it, I realized I just blew my money cause angle is very sensitive and not really practical ... Save your money!

Its a nice idea but angles are way too sensitive, cheap quality gimmick, just not practical. Also the gimmick is very obvious it doesn't look symmetrical and you can clearly tell it apart from the real pencil.

So the effect is actually pretty deceiving and you can actually hand out the pencil for examination. No switches whatsoever. The only downside to this is that in some cases it will require more cover than the perfect penetration. But practice makes perfect right? Plus I find it way more practical in a school or office setting. Cause it really is just a normal pencil that's gimmicked.

This trick is very much like pen though bill but 10%
Better. Needs a lot of mirror practice. Could be a 4 if it used a marked
No. 2 gimmick pencil

Poor quality gimmick that does not look right or adhere properly.
