Thru by Alan Rorrison
Penguin Magic
Watch two solid objects pass through each other. Slowly. Clearly. Impossible to explain.
A bill is folded in half. Another bill is placed inside it. With a gentle pull, the folded bill begins to move straight through the other—visibly. Halfway through, everything stops. Both sides are shown openly as the bills appear to melt through one another. Then the motion continues until the bill is completely free. Both bills are immediately handed out for examination.
Nothing looks rushed. Nothing looks hidden. The moment feels unreal.
This is Thru, created by Alan Rorrison, and it’s designed to be as practical as it is striking. You receive everything needed to make the gimmick using the currency of your choice, with full instruction for U.S., U.K., and EU bills—including polymer notes. Alan also teaches how the same principle can be used to make a playing card, credit card, ribbon, or even earbud cables visually pass through the bill.
The cleanup is simple and fast, and as a bonus, you’ll learn how to secretly add the gimmick to a borrowed bill, allowing the entire effect to be performed with borrowed objects. The gimmick lives comfortably in your wallet and is always ready to go.
This is visual magic that rewards slow performance and close attention.
