Vintage Pencil Through Quarter – Punched Hole Version
This is a vintage Pencil Through Quarter magic trick featuring the far more dramatic punched-hole method, not the modern self-healing Johnson-style coin. In performance, a quarter is displayed, a pencil is pushed straight through the center, and when the pencil is removed, the coin is revealed with a permanent, smashed-out hole still visible.
Because the hole remains after the penetration, the effect is stronger, more shocking, and feels far more real to spectators. This version relies on classic sleight-of-hand and timing rather than gimmicked, self-repairing coins, making it a favorite among old-school performers and collectors.
