Come a little closer into the magical world of John Derris at http://magicderris.com
Effect:
Magician shows thae audience a small square mirror, taps it with his pen and passes it out to be examined. He also shows a red leather wallet with a hole in the middle, which can also be fully examined.
The mirror is then slipped inside the wallet, which is clearly a snug fit.
The pen is then tapped onto the mirror through the hole in the wallet and is seen to penetrate the solid glass. The wallet is show both sides and the pen is clearly right through the mirror. The wallet is then bent to show the opening - where the pen can clearly, and at very close range, be seen by the audience.
With the pen still sticking through, the mirror is then smartly slid out of the wallet, leaving the pen in the hole in the wallet.
The mirror can be seen by the audience to be unharmed and can once again be fully examined.
This is a great visual effect that works wonderfully well in close up demonstations.
