The Illusion That Fooled MillionsâNow in Your Pocket
One of the most iconic solid-through-solid illusions ever broadcast was Misled by David Copperfield. A pencil pierced a borrowed dollar billânot once, but twiceâthen left the bill completely unharmed. The audience was stunned. The magic world was changed forever.
Now, that legendary illusion is backâand better than ever.
Misled Pen by Timothy Wenk transforms the original miracle into a sleek, modern performance with a ballpoint pen. The effect is just as impossible, just as beautiful, and now more practical than ever.
Hereâs what happens:A borrowed (and even signed) bill is cleanly penetrated by a penâright before their eyes. In the second phase, the bill is wrapped around the pen, and with no warning, it melts straight through the center. The bill is unharmed. The pen can be examined. Itâs as close to real magic as it gets.
âThe visual is perfect. The method is bulletproof. The reactions are unforgettable.â
This routine has been performed by top magicians on stages and screens around the world. Now itâs yoursâwith everything you need right out of the box, including:
A precision-engineered gimmick
A matching ballpoint pen for a seamless illusion
A comprehensive tutorial by Nick Locapo, whoâs performed this miracle in real-world conditions under pressure
Nick shares expert tips, subtleties, and performance psychology that elevate this classic from a trick to a showstopper.
Best of all?
âď¸ The bill can be borrowed and signed
âď¸ The pen can be handed out for inspection
âď¸ No magnets. No threads. No nonsense. Just brilliant design and diabolical engineering
Whether youâre performing on stage, at a table, or through a screenâif you want your audience to see real magic, youâll perform Misled Pen by Timothy Wenk.
