Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

THIS TRICK IS THE BOMB-DIGGITY! Add to cart. It's great!

I've been using Misled for years and years now, and it has always been and may always be part of my Absolute Arsenal. Now I will say this, it's not an effect I do all the time. In fact, there are weeks when I don't use it at all. But when the timing and conditions are right, I always have this on me and ready to go, because I know it's gonna KILL.

The effect is simple and fairly straightforward. Beware, there are serious angle issues with this effect, so you will want to put in practice time in front of a mirror, or even better, a camera, in order to make this trick look great. You will also want to practice a solid patter to go with this, otherwise the effect will lack punch. The trick is great, however, and can be performed many ways.

In my opinion, there is no other pen-thru (or in this case, pencil-thru) that I have EVER seen or performed that is better than this one. It's that good, but unlike its counterparts, it takes more work and practice to pull this one off. Definitely not a virtual self-worker like many other pen-thrus.

Hi the promo says new 2018 version. I have the version from when Copperfield performed it. Pencil is kind of thick. Is this the same as the original? Not trying to buy the same thing twice. Thanks for the info if you can help.

hey Steph2933,

I bought misled in the past too. I was thinking the same thing if there was any difference 🤔. I think the pencil wouldn't change. Perhaps the gimmick might be different?

I know B from back in the day we had forums here (was the head mod and admin) anyway it wasn't too long ago I heard that Misled was back out. I had the original but not sure what happened to the gimmick. Anyway the talk on other forums and reviewers was that the new gimmick is not as good as the old one. I don't remember specifics but would do some research on reviews and forums.

I bought the original around 1980 and last year bought the supposedly new version. LOVED THEM BOTH!! The new version has a different handling and it's well worth anyone's effort. Great effect and I use it all the time in restaurant work
