This is a really cool pencil penetration trick. Most of us have seen the pen through dollar trick
but it's nice to see it done with pencils too. This trick is similar to the one called Misled which
is also really good. This one is going to take some practice before you can get it looking right.
You will be able to perform this right away, but if you want it to be convincing, then practice in
front of a mirror.

A very visual trick. As other reviews have said the trick does require a 'fat' pencil, however this
has never caused me a problem and audiences don't focus on the size of the pencil- they focus on the
fact that you've just put a pencil through a bill!

This is a great effect for a real quick trick that takes little to no practice to get great.
The pencil I got was a big black pencil that you probably wouldn't see anywhere else in a store,
but the color helps to hide the gimmick. The gimmick took a little bit of work to get "loosened up",
too.
The explanation of the trick on the DVD was ok, though it would have been nice to have
some other views, especially since positioning of the dollar and the pencil is everything in this
trick.
Overall a great buy, good to build up the repertoire and very easy to learn.

I just got this trick a few days ago..
I knew what I was getting.. so I wasn't too surprised..
but the effect itself is great.. looks very very good..
there are downfalls to this
though..
1. Its not a real looking pencil... big and bulky ...
2. Will leave residue on the
bill.. but over time will disappear...
3. The actual pencil itself is not examinable... need to
do a switch.. but that depends on your performance and how u handle things..
Those are the
key areas of concern..
The DVD is okay...
doesn't really go into these points when
explaining the effect.. or tips around them..

It not something I will use all the time. But if I have a guest come over my place or whatever, I
might perform it, but I wouldn't carry it with me anywhere.
had everyone fooled... was a small bit of graphite or something on the note.. i used a recipt lol...
it is a bit fragile, might make a metal one for personal use and disguise it as a posh pen :D
great trick, very clever... totally unreal from both sides :D
i have to practice in a
mirror so i know what they see...
there's a button on the top of the page that says "buy now"
click it and fill the form in :D
I got this trick yesterday, and I can now say that out of all the tricks I own this is the best.
Some people say that the pencil looks bulky but it doesn't. Ignore the bad reviews and if you are
not 100% sure on buying this (I wasn't that sure either) you need to get this because you will love
it
JPT is absolutely awesome! This effect gets best response whenever, wherever or to whomever I
perform. It takes a little practise and it is absolutely jawdropping!
The only downfall of
this trick is that I didn`t come up with it:) Anyway ten thumbs up for this one!
I own about 55 magic tricks, ranging from coin to card to just general close-up. However, I have to
let it be known that this trick is by far the best. #1 out of 55. It is easy to do, and is the most
incredible visual effect I have yet to see.
Buy...
Q: Hows Penguin's price on JPT?
A: Fantastic.
Q: How good is JPT?
A: Fantastic.
If you have seen the demo video and not purchased JPT and FTB, shame on you! JPT is as
great as it looks, just keep in mind it will take you a little bit of time to get the handling down,
it took me about an hour or so. What gets me is as good as JPT is; FTB is the perfect follow up
trick.
You get a very professional top-notch booklet with clear illustrated instructions in
it; in the back is a plastic sleeve that holds your DVD. This has Russ Niedzwieckis performance
and instructions on it, which are filmed very clearly. I suggest after you melt the pencil thru the
bill wait just a moment (not to long), grab the bill out of their hands then go into FTB.
