(Based on 1 review)
A BORROWED QUARTER held at your fingertips is VISIBLY PUNCTURED by a normal pen...leaving it shish-ka-bobbed onto the pen. The borrowed coin is in FULL VIEW as the pen tip contacts the coin. The visual illusion is 100% oh-my-god perfect.
But NOW you can immediately RESTORE THE COIN! It remains in full view at your fingertips and INSTANTLY HEALS as the pen is pulled out! The normal coin and pen can immediately be handed to the spectator.
The borrowed quarter can even be INITIALED by the spectator!
Puncture 2.0 includes a variety of handlings for every skill level... PLUS:
The BONUS 2.0 PUNCH:
You decide to puncture a DIFFERENT solid object and bravely jam the pen deep into your BODY to PUNCTURE AND RESTORE YOUR OWN FLESH! You and the pen can immediately be examined.
It's the PERFECT 2.0 KICKER! This custom engineered gimmick is always ready to go. Nothing to palm, add or get rid of.
PUNCTURE 2.0: Complete with special new Puncture pen and expanded easy-to-learn instructions.
Special Thanks To The Todd Gasparik Engineering Team.

I reviewed the original Puncture when it came out. I actually added to my repertoire and have a lot of real-world experience with it. I changed the handling a little bit, but only to fit my style of movement and presentation. For the right audience, it's probably the best piece of quick, visual close-up magic I have.
When I saw there was a new version, I couldn't imagine what had been done to improve it. Apparently Alex Linian's imagination is better than mine.
The most obvious addition is an equally visual and startling second phase where the pen is removed from the coin. It looks exactly like what it's supposed to be. The handling is so clean and open that you really are fooled by your own eyes. If you don't believe me, watch the video.
Of course, the potential danger is that this will allow magicians to take what was a startling piece of magic an turn it into a trick. PLEASE, if you're going to do this, do it once. Puncturing the coin more than once is pointless. Puncture it. Pause and let them be amazed. Then offer to give them their quarter back and pull the pen out. End of effect.
The DVD includes additional work, handling and tips. There's a also a bonus track that covers sticking the pen through your body. It's not my type of thing, but if you're going for shock, it's a decent method.
