Pen Through Coin by Michael Ammar

Fifty years of dedication. One of magic's most legendary names. And a brand new method for one of the most visual coin effects you can perform.

Michael Ammar has been performing and teaching the pen through coin plot his entire career. His pencil through quarter routine is one of the most celebrated in his catalogue, quoted in his hardcover book, performed at The Magic Castle, and taught to magicians around the world for decades. Now, thanks to a genuine leap forward in the method, that same iconic effect gets a complete overhaul, and the result has left some of the best minds in magic absolutely baffled.

Here is the effect: a pen visually penetrates right through a solid quarter. Clean, impossible, and devastating. The kind of moment that stops a room.

What makes this version different from everything that came before it is the absence of moving parts. Previous methods for this type of effect relied on a cigarette through quarter style gimmick that required careful, precise handling to conceal the secret. One wrong angle, one awkward moment, and the method was dangerously close to being exposed. On top of that, the gimmick could break and was expensive and difficult to replace.

That problem is completely solved here. The new method behind Pen Through Coin uses no moving parts whatsoever. The handling is cleaner, the exposure risk is dramatically reduced, and the gimmick is built to last. FISM winner Erik Tait performed this for a room full of some of the sharpest magical minds at The Magic Castle and fooled every single one of them.

Michael himself describes this as a revolution, not just an evolution of the effect. And when you see it performed, it is very easy to understand why.

Pen Through Coin works with most standard pens you already own, and the package includes a generous supply of 100 gimmicks alongside a special quarter and a normal quarter so you are set up and ready to perform without sourcing anything extra.

1 special quarter
