The Pen Thing (Gimmicks and Online Instructions) by Alan Rorrison and Mark Mason - Trick

I have always been a huge fan of the pencil melting through a bill. It just looks so magical. Alan has taken this to this effect to another level, with a new gimmick, a new method and a totally new handling.

This uses a GENUINE SHARPIE. The VERY same sharpie you can use throughout your performance to have cards signed etc.

There are NO SLOTS, NO SLITS, NO SHELLS. The sharpie is FULLY EXAMINABLE, NO SWITCH. 

Borrow any bill, have the bill signed with a sharpie. Wrap the bill around the sharpie, show the Sharpie INSIDE the bill. The Sharpie slowly and visually melts through the signed bill. This looks GREAT. Everything can be examined immediately after the effect. 

A BRAND NEW HANDLING & METHOD!
