Magic Tricks

While these are both great impromptu tricks-- and if the "quality equation" is 'plays big divided by packs small', it doesn't get any better. They may not play as big as disappearing the Statue of Liberty, but they pack BEYOND small-- everything you need is in the spectator's wallet.

That's a big "pro". They're also completely impromptu, which is always good, and involve the apparent destruction of someone else's money, which always plays well.

I can't review Clean Through, as I've only seen it on the promo video here. Clear Through (Pen Through Dollar, without the pen) is easy for the magician to do while looking impossible to the spectators, although it's best done turning slightly away from your audience (toward the side that the finger piercing the bill is on-- if you're using your right finger, turn slightly to the right for the sake of angles). [I'd also ask for the biggest bill anyone in the audience has in his/her wallet-- again, destroying someone else's money is always a hit, at least with the folks around him/her.

Also, I'd be hesitant using it around magicians, which is the reason for my "half off" title. I taught myself the (admittedly impressive) trick by watching the promo video a couple of times, and have been using it since, since I already had the "gimmick" at hand.
