This David Blaine street trick was hand selected by Paul Harris (Blaine's creative director) because it was powerful enough to be performed on the street at a moments notice.
A borrowed quarter held at your fingertips is visibly punctured with a pen-- leaving the quarter shish-ka-bobbed onto the pen!
The permanently punctured quarter and pen are immediately handed out for
examination. There's only one explanation... you've somehow discovered how to really poke a pen through a solid coin!
The visual illusion of the pen going through their own quarter is 100% "oh my god" perfect. The actual borrowed quarter is in full view as the pen contacts the coin.
The pen is
normal and fully examinable. Complete with pen, gimmick, and instructional DVD. This effect was considered and filmed by
David Blaine for the David Blaine: Drowned Alive Special.
