The magician shows a brand new unsharpened pencil. On the pencil is embossed a "number 2," which is the hardness of the pencil lead. He casually shows the pencil on both sides and the embossed two is definitely only on one side. Now it appears on both sides! Another flick of the wrist and the number two jumps to the bottom of the pencil on one side, and is at the end of the other side! The magician can then have a spectator choose a playing card. When the pencil is turned over, the pencil has the inscription of the playing card embossed right into the pencil! Good magic at a small price. 003MM 0673
