Slide a thick pen through a mysterious accordion-like object with four holes.
Ask a spectator to hold both ends of the pen firmly, but when you pull the object while draping a handkerchief over it, the pen passes right through as if it were melting. The pen slips out effortlessly-without the magician ever putting a hand inside the handkerchief or getting caught on anything along the way.
You can also perform this trick using a spectator’s finger instead of a pen. The strange sensation of the object slipping right through the finger will likely cause the audience to gasp in surprise.
Key Points
Since the audience experiences the phenomenon firsthand, you can expect a strong reaction.
You can make any object that fits through the hole pass right through.
It fits compactly into a wallet or business card holder for easy transport.
