Introduction When the rubber penetration came into popularity several years ago, it represented something really new in magic. Here was a trick that was actually accomplished before it began, leaving onlookers baffled by a visible penetration of a coin through a sheet of solid rubber, with no clue whatever as to its accomplishment. So effective was this mystery that magicians themselves began wondering when further effects of this nature would be developed, if ever. They have been developed; and the time is now. The very principle of the rubber penetration made it adaptable to new uses, provided someone gave them proper thought. By introducing new devices and applying existing gimmicks in special ways, a series of remarkable surprises came into being, practically all the work of one inventive mind. This book is the result. In it Ian Sutz has added one neat twist after another, even producing startling effects that go beyond the original concept, with intriguing variations that will keep spectators guessing all the more. The basic penetration has even been applied to a balloon, creating a completely new effect: while the introduction of various articles such as keys, nails and other available items {seen and unseen} provide still more bewilderment. Coin balloon-acy is sure to become a classic in itself and the accompanying items can readily be worked into effective routines. Try them yourself and be convinced. Walter B. Gibson I PAGEl THE RUBBER SQUARE The rubber square consists of a thin piece of rubber available from a variety of sources: Latex gloves, clear balloons, and the commercial form known as rubber dam. Rubber squares comes in 5" x 5" sheets in white or dark color available from your favorite magic dealer. This rubber square, when prepared in several ways, will provide several diverse effects, most of which depend on the rubber square's stretchable quality. In most of the routines, the rubber square is stretched thin and clear over coins and other objects. This thin covering is so transparent that it will defy the closest examination. The total illusion suggests to the spectator that the object is on top of the rubber square, whereas it is actually under it, suspended by the pressure of the rubber surface. Like so many tricks, the rubber square is derived from the physical sciences. Remember though, until the science is publicly known, the physical effect will remain magicaL See figures page 1 PAGE 2 #1} THE PENETRATION Effect: A coin is seen to be resting on a rubber sheet which has been secured over a glass tumbler by an elastic band. The spectator is asked to touch the coin and to push it. The spectator causes the coin to apparently penetrate the rubber sheet and fall into the sealed tumbler. The spectator may inspect everything and even try to duplicate the effect without success. The Basic set-up: Requires a coin (or two), a small bottle, salt shaker, or anything with a pedestal-type shape smaller than the diameter of the coin used. I have found the cap from a felt marker pen to be the best for most coins. You will also need a glass tumbler, an elastic band, and a rubber sheet or rubber square. I} place the coin on top of the cap. 2} Stretch the piece of rubber using both hands, then using four fingers, stretch it in two directions at once until it is clear. 3} While stretched, center it over the coin and gently press down. As you slowly lower the rubber square, release your grip. This will leave the center portion of the rubber square stretched clear over the coin and the balance of the rubber square will pull itself around and under the coin. PAGE 3 4} Lift the rubber square and coin and place it over a shot-glass with the elastic band binding it around the rim of the tumbler. 5} Place a second coin on top or just under the rim of the prepared coin and you are ready to perform. It is at this time the spectator first sees any apparatus. Performance: If your set-up has been successful, the coin with clear rubber square over it will look as if it is merely resting on a piece of rubber next to a second coin. "Force" the spectator to select the prepared coin. If he chooses the right one, discard the unprepared coin. If he names the unprepared coin, discard it and use the right one. No matter what the spectator chooses, you use the coin want anyway. Tell the spectator to touch the remaining coin and push. The prepared coin will pop into the tumbler and remain sealed in the glass. Ask the spectator "what has happened?". Have him agree that there must be a hole in the rubber square. When he agrees, ask him to "FIND THE HOLE". The preparation for the basic routine will be the same for most of the variations discussed in this book. Please practice and perform it before continuing with the variations. PAGE 4 #2} DOUBLE PENETRATION: The first variation is also one of the most confusing to the spectator. The effect begins when a penny or a dime is placed visibly on a quarter resting on a sheet of rubber secured over a glass. The magician takes a wand or pen and taps the coin gently. The upper coin appears to penetrate the quarter and the rubber sheet and falls into the glass. The magician taps the coin again and the quarter also appears to penetrate the rubber sheet. All may be inspected. THE METHOD: To accomplish this effect requires stretching the rubber square over two coins at once. The under coin should be smaller than the top one. I use a quarter and a penny combination due to the availability of magnetic pennies necessary to the effect*. Once the two coins are stretched over the smaller coin will be suspended below the "visible" coin undetected by the spectator. Place this set-up over a glass of water and secure it with a rubber band. Let the spectator see you put a penny {duplicate} on top of the prepared quarter. The first objective will be to vanish the duplicate penny and at the same time have the hidden coin drop into the glass. The move should be practiced several times before performing. See Figure A - Page 5 *Canadian coins, specifically dimes and nickels, are an excellent source of magnetic coins. Obtain a wand or a pen, and attach some wax to the flat end just enough to be able to stick to the PAGES B A duplicate coin. Hold the pen in the center with the thumb and forefinger. You will notice that when the coin is stuck to the pen, you are able to swing the coin into your palm. If you catch it and retain it in your palm, you can bring the pen quickly back into view. Figure B Practice this vanish until the illusion is as convincing as possible. However, the misdirection of the coin appearing in the glass should hide any problems in the upper move. The pressure of the pen as it picks up the upper coin will release the hidden coin. This too should be practiced a bit so as not to accidentally push the quarter "through" before you intend to. Should this happen. vanish the upper coin anyway and accept the abbreviated but still startling effect. Should you succeed in vanishing the upper coin while simultaneously producing the under coin, then you may push the quarter through as a second effect. PAGE 6 #3} An easier method of vanishing the upper coin would be to use a steel coin, shell coin, or canadian dime or nickel as the smaller coins. Instead of wax, use a magnetic wand or pen* to vanish the upper coin using the same "swing to palm" method as described earlier. #4} My favorite and the easiest method is to use a magnetic match box*. The match-box is placed over the steel coin, and by tapping the box gently, the under coin is released. Lift the box to confirm the vanish of the duplicate. Complete the trick by penetrating the remaining quarter through the rubber square. * The "penny balancer" trick is an excellent source for two inconspicuous steel pennies. Magnetic match-boxes are available in a variety of commercial tricks such as "pentro-penny", "well, I Never" and nickel to penny to dime. #S} RESET: Effect-A quarter is seen on a rubber square. A dime is placed upon it. Both coins are pushed, but only one coin penetrates. The dime seems to have only partially penetrated. The rubber square is turned over and the dime is seen sticking to the underside of the rubber square. The Dime is then pushed back through the rubber square from the opposite side. PAGE 7 Method: Prepare a quarter in the standard manner. Secure this over a water glass but do not secure it with a rubber band...merely hold it with your hand. Openly place a dime dead center on top of the quarter. A fast, sharp push of the dime will cause the quarter to penetrate, but of course, not the dime. Without removing your finger {which should be covering the partially penetrated dime}, turn over the rubber square to reveal the dime on the opposite side. If your push was sharp enough, the rubber square popping around the quarter will pop around the dime, resetting it almost as perfectly as the quarter was stretched. Quickly push the dime through the rubber square. This trick may be more of a curiosity than a magic effect, but I found that if you use any consecutively smaller coins, each pop of the coin will set up the next one. PAGES #6} Nickel to dime through rubber square: Effect-a nickel is seen on a rubber square, changed to a dime, and then is penetrated through the rubber square. Method: Prepare a dime in a rubber square and place it over a shot glass. Secure this set-up with a rubber band. Take a shell penny or nickel, (available at your magic dealer), and place it over a prepared dime. Vanish the shell using the same method as double-penetration with either a wand or a match-book. Reveal the changed coin and then penetrate it through the rubber square also. #7} Sandwich Vanish: Effect- A quarter, dime and a penny are stacked over a rubber rubber square. The dime vanishes from between the quarter and the penny, then the quarter vanishes from under the penny. The quarter and dime are found in the glass. Method: Double stretch a dime and a quarter, as in DOUBLE-PENETRATION #2 routine. Obtain a locking penny and dime from your dealer and place the dime section over the prepared quarter with hidden dime. The locking penny section should be placed over the dime ready to lock together. A tap with a stick or wand will lock the penny and dime to form a penny. The duplicate dime will appear from under the quarter and fall into the glass. Another push will vanish the quarter into the glass leaving only the penny remaining. PAGE 9 #8} Spiked Square: Effect-A nail is seen to be penetrated through a rubber square. The magician shows this to be not only protruding through the rubber square from the top, but may also be freely shown to be coming through the rubber square from the bottom. The magician grabs the shank of the nail and snaps it from the rubber square. Of course no hole can be found. Method: The object is to stretch the rubber square over a nail head and do it gently enough not to break the rubber square. With practice, this can be done anywhere, but I recommend the following procedure: Get an 8D common nail and a 4D box nail. Tap the common nail into a piece of wood, remove it, and then place the box nail into the hole. . . ~ I I ~ ~ / ~ I l This will aid you as a bracket to hold the nail during the set-up. Stretch the rubber square over the nail head as though it were a coin. Hold the rubber square with the nail and show it freely on both sides, the illusion being that the nail has penetrated the rubber PAGE10 square. The uniqueness of the illusion is that you may for the first time show both sides of a rubber square set-up during the performance. Grasp the pointed shank of the nail and pull the head through. Ask the spectator to find the hole. A subtle touch: Actually have a nail puncture the rubber square next to the set-up nail. The nail should look identical. You grasp the gimmick and the spectator grasps the other one. Your nail leaves no hole, and their's does. #9} Stretch the square over Dice, washers, balls, or almost anything that can allow the rubber square to stretch over it and stay in place without breaking. lID} Noted Author, Roy Fromer suggested using an Okito coin box with the rubber square. Place the rubber square with a prepared coin set-up directly over an open Okito box. Covering the box, the prepared coin is caused to penetrate inside to the "sealed" box. He also suggested preparing a coin, and then merely wrapping the rubber square around the coin. Pressing the folded rubber square, with coin inside will release the coin into your palm. You may then reproduce the coin from a coin box or from your pocket, after showing the coin to have vanished from the folded rubber square. PAGE 11 #ll} Now you see it: Effect-A coin is sitting on a rubber square, above and below the coin is written "Now you see it". The coin penetrates and the rubber square now reads "nowyou don't see it". Method: Before preparing the coin, use a standard or thick ball point pen and write "now you see it" as per the illustration. The word "don't" should be written where the coin will be stretched, taking care not to have the printing exceed the area the coin will cover. Stretch the rubber square over the coin with the word "don't" across it, and the word will be temporarily obscured (actually it is stretched over and around the coin). Upon penetration the word will be revealed to form the new sentence or word. #12} You may also use this principle to force a card and reveal it as the coin penetrates the rubber square. Reveal other predictions and complete other sentences. t'AUb Ll NI3} Clip-it Restoration: Effect-A piece of rubber sheet is folded and cut. When unfolded the rubber square is still joined together. Method: This trick is very similar to the famous newspaper trick "clippo". The "clippo" trick uses rubber cement coated lightly upon a newspaper, which when cut and unfolded, appears to still be in one piece. The trick works due to the nature of the rubber in rubber cement which causes it to meld or bind together when sharply compressed. The rubber rubber square is a "pure" form of this trick. A) Fold the rubber square at any point and cut across the folded pieces. Cut in as straight a line as possible. B) Unfold the pieces and they will adhere together as if they are one piece. The cut mark will show, and if you pull hard the rubber square will separate at the cut. {do not do so during the performance.} C) Take any two separate rubber square pieces and lay them over each other. Cut across the two pieces and they will appear to have blended when unfolded. D) Fold the rubber square and cut a diagonal line, and the rubber square will form a right angle connection when unfolded. This trick is a curiosity and should be added as an amusing part of your rubber square routine. PAGE13 #14} Cut and restored rubber square: Effect-the Magician wraps a sheet of rubber around a playing card and visibly cuts through both with a scissor. The pieces of the card fall to the table but the rubber sheet remains uncut. All may be inspected. Method: You will need a loose-fitting scissor, but one that does cut. The set-up is automatic and part of the performance. A) Take any bridge-sized playing card and wrap a piece of rubber square around it by placing the card length-wise along the lower half of a standard 5" x 5" rubber square and folding it over. B) Hold the wrapped card across the fingers and held in place by the thumb. The fold should be at the top of your fingers and the open end of the wrapped card toward your body. rc-J C) Take the scissor and start to cut the rubber square at the lower end. Cut with a loose grip and the rubber square will start to stretch between the scissor blades. When you start to cut the card, you may cut as hard as you wish. The illusion will fool you as well, because the card will be cutting and it will seem that you have actually cut the rubber square. Continue the cut in one motion, open the scissor and shake the card pieces loose. Rub the rubber square as if mending it, and reveal the restored rubber square. This works automatically and will amaze you as you perform it. PAGE 14 #15) Water torture cell: Effect-Two coins are seen inside a glass of water sealed with a rubber square and turned upside down. A spectator selects one of the coins and the magician reaches up through the rubber square and pulls the selected coin out from the glass without leakage. The remaining coin cannot be removed in the same manner. Method: The title is mine, but the routine is remembered by Al Cohen, a magic dealer and convention acquaintance. Prepare a coin but secure it face down over a filled glass of water. Before securing the rubber square, drop an unprepared coin into the glass. Make sure you now tightly prepare a rubber band to seal the glass, and then turn the glass mouth face down. When looking through the sides and top of the water glass, it should look as though the two coins are trapped in the glass of water. Have the spectator select one of the coins. Should the prepared coin be selected, reach up into the glass from the bottom and pull the coin from its' set-up. Should the other coin be chosen, merely state that you will let him have that coin and you will take the prepared coin, again, removing it from the set-up. In either case, the spectator is left with the dilemma of removing the . . . remammg com. PAGE 15 #16} Invisible Deck: Effect-A card is freely selected placed back in the deck, and handed to the spectator. The Spectator is asked to quickly find the selected card. It cannot be found, the magician takes the deck back, and also thumbs through it and cannot be found. The spectator is asked to tap the deck. The top card of the deck is turned over and revealed to be the selected card. This card may be signed. Method: The rubber square breaks from time to time and any piece as small as 1/2" can be used for this effect. Wash the piece to remove any powder residue from the rubber square. Use it as follows: A} The oil of your thumb will allow the small square to stick to your thumbprint while you hold a deck of cards. B} Have a spectator select any card and while they look at the card, place the piece of rubber on the center of the back of the card on the top of the deck. C} Have the spectator place the card on the card with the rubber square, {the spectator won't notice it, as they are watching you or their card and not the back of the deck. D} With the selected card on top of the prepared card, you can now place a group of cards on top of the selected card. The card will be in the middle. PAGE16 E} Hand the deck to the spectator and ask to quickly fan the cards and find their card. Rush them through this by telling them to hurry, hurry. They will state that they cannot find it. F} Quickly take the deck back and ask them what their card was. After which you also fan through the deck quickly and try to find their card. Due to the rubber acting as a bond of the two cards, the face of their card will be obscured. You will however be able to feel the double card thickness as you thumb through the deck, and as you do so, keep a break at the double card and cut it to the top of the deck. G} Ask the spectator to tap the deck as you carefully separate the top card from the gimmick, remove it and reveal the face to be their card. H} An alternate method is to merely go through the same steps and instead of having the spectator hold the cards, you merely reveal it yourself by thumbing through the cards until you find the double thickness. PAGE 17 #17} Coin through rubber glove: Obtain a surgical latex glove from your dentist or doctor and insert the coin into the palm area of the glove. Insert your hand into the glove and the illusion will be that the coin is laying on your rubber clad hand. Cull your hand as you do this so as not to acciDENTALly expand the rubber and pull away the set-up. Tap the coin or clap your hand sharply with your other hand and the coin will penetrate the glove and wind up inside the glove. You can also just cut the glove rubber into square or circles and use the rubber as the basic trick requires. #18}Coin through un-inflated balloon: Obtain a clear #11 balloon and insert the coin inside. Prepare the coin by stretching the rubber clear over the coin. The illusion will be that the coin is laying on the outside of the balloon. As you blow the balloon up, the coin will penetrate the balloon. #19}Coin through inflated Balloon-acy": In private, do the following set-up: PAGE 18 balloon, "Coin A}Insert the coin into the balloon then blow the balloon up before you stretch it over the coin. Blow it up full and then let a third of the air out. B} tie off the balloon, and allow the coin to fall into the puntil or opposite end of the balloon. C} grasp through the balloon from the outside and hold onto it as you stretch the thick rubber over the face of the coin. If you let it go it will fall out of the stretch, so you must stretch it and then grip it as you would a dial. PAGE 19 . D} Pull the coin away from the balloon forming a tube under it, then twist the coin the same as you would turn a dial. Once the twist is in the balloon, press the coin on the surface of the balloon. It should look as though the coin is on top of the balloon and on the outside. It is now that you may show the spectator the effect. E} Keep the tip of your finger on the coin and exert enough pressure so as not to let the twist unravel. F} Ask the spectator to watch as you push the coin through the balloon. Pretend to push, but at one point you actually let the pressure off and as you do so, the coin will magically spiral into the balloon and spin in an ellipse around the interior of the balloon. NOTE: For additional moves and subtleties on this effect, ask your dealer for "Coin Balloon-acy" PAGE20 #20}Silk in balloon: The silk in balloon method is similar to coin balloon except you use a 6" or 9" scarf. A} Blow up the balloon and seal it off with a small scarf inside. NOTE: you may use any #12 or #16 balloon and any color. B} Grasp the silk hanky through the outside of the balloon and bunch it up into a ball while it is still in the balloon. C} Twist the wad of silk and this time, while the twist is still in it, put the silk between your fingers towards the back of your hand. Let the fingers squeeze together and then tum your palm upright and slightly towards you audience. It is now the time to perform. Proclaim to make a silk appear in the balloon, count to three and throw the balloon into the air, letting go of the secret silk hanky load. It will untwist and appear in mid air. Catch the balloon and show off your production. PAGE 21 #21}acrobatic card: Joe Fenichel came up with a brilliant secret gimmick using the rubber dam. He took a card and cut it in half. Glued a rubber square across the cut seam of the card. Then he took a second card and glued one half of the cut card to the face of the whole card. Place the whole thing under some weight and let it dry overnight. What you now have is a card flap that will spring back into place and also flip the card in a somersault. Fold the flap back and place it onto the table holding a little pressure on it. Let the pressure up and the card will flip over. Now, get a few more cards. Fold the flap over and reveal the under card. Place a normal card over it to hide the folded card. Also put another card under it so you can show a fan of three cards. Let's sayan jack, queen, and king. Turn over all three face down and keep a little pressure on it. Let the pressure off and the gimmick will flip the cards over. It will appear that the middle card has disappeared. To strengthen the effect, take a duplicate of the missing card and pull it out of your pocket. PAGE 22 #22}soft spring: If you use wood or cardboard boxes for small illusions, you can save money by glueing the rubber square sheets across the wood surfaces. When dry, they make a fairly viable hinge that springs back to place and aligns the pieces back. One nice use of this is the appearing coin on a deck of cards. A} obtain a deck of cards and take about 6-8 cards and cut out the centers. If you use a fox lake {aviator} brand, just cut along the liner box line. If You use a tally-ho, cut out the circles of the fan. B} next glue these cut out pieces together, then glue the group onto an uncut card. This now forms a pocket for a coin. C} next cut another card along the circle of the tally-ho fan, or just cut a box out of the aviator card. DO NOT discard the piece, instead, lay the card with its cut piece face up. Glue a piece of rubber square across the edge of one side of the card. The end cut edge is preferable. Note: it is advisable that the last card cut {hinged card} be cut a little smaller than the other holes. This allows the flap to rest on a solid section of card instead of the flap closing and then falling too low into it's closed position. D} Now glue this card face down onto the group of other glued cards. You will now have a container with a lid all made of cards, glue and rubber square. PAGE23 E} To perform the effect, place the gimmick section of cards on top of the remainder of the deck. Gently lift the flap and insert a quarter. F} Place a glass tumbler over the deck and you are ready. G} Allow a spectator to hold the entire set-up. Obtain a second or duplicate quarter and vanish it in your favorite method. Pretend to still have it in your closed hand. With the closed empty hand, tap the top of the glass and deck setup held by the spectator. Open your hand flat just as you hit the top of the tumbler. The jolt will cause the hidden coin to appear on the top of the deck and the rubber square will close the flap shut. PAGE 24 #23} pencil thru card: using the glued flap method, punch a hole in a card with a hole punch and save the hole. A} Cut a square out of a second card and make a hinged flap as in trick #22. Align the card with the square flap with the card with the hole and put a spot of glue on the cut out piece from the hole and align it back to where it was cut. Let this dry. B} now glue the rest of the cards together at it's edges. C} obtain a straw or thin pencil and press the pencil against the hole. It will cause the hole to move along with the flap and give the illusion that it was penetrated. PAGE 25 #24) slide card monte: The three card monte was always nice, but it would be nicer to be clean at the end of the trick. My way, uses the rubber square as a pull. A} get a cheap thin deck of cards, even hong-kong jumbo cards work nicely. The thinner the better. Cut the pip corner of one card and lay it face down on the back of another whole card {rounded edge to the left}. Now, glue a rubber square across it and let it dry. PAGE 26 B} Glue a second card over the gimmick, but only glue it at the edges of three sides, the top, bottom, and right side as you view the cards face down. When dry, you will be able to reach into a pocket formed in the side of the card and pull out the piece. C} Glue two additional sets of cards together at all four sides. Using cheap cards will allow these cards to be handled and not perceived as doubles. Turn all of them face up to you. Align one card squarely under the gimmick. Another card under that and spread to the left. The gimmick pulled out of the pocket must have pressure exerted on it to hold it from popping into the pocket. D} Show the cards in a fan {Normal, gimmick, and pocket card. As you turn it face down, let the gimmick go and spread the three cards face down on the table. The spectator will not guess where the center card has gone. NOTE: the thin card stock will actually allow the spectator to pick up the gimmick card undetected. You may produce a duplicate of the vanished card from a pocket. PAGE 27 #25} disc-o-dime: One of the most unusual uses of the rubber square was a trick called disc-go-dime. The set-up was tedious but the effect was baffling. A} cut a piece of rubber about 2" square. Stretch a dime under it as in the standard set-up. Now gather the four ends of the square together under the dime, and push them through the hole in a key. It takes a second or two, but once the ends are through the hole, hold the key by the tip and pull then corners of the square towards the key tip. Hold this tightly. B} color the rubber face of the dime with a black magic marker, and it will hide the silver of the dime and make it look like a bingo chip disc. {For effect, have actual bingo chips in a small pile and pretend to place one on the key. ,'" • ...... -.-,' 6fr'RErHEfI. SCit¥lAc KEY Sl-rr PAGE 28 C} take a sharp pin, or the edge of another key and strike the center of the black disc {rubber covered dime}. The rubber will fly off the dime surface and carry the color with it Dust as you can change the color of a balloon}. The illusion will look as though the chip turned into a dime. #26} There is a hole: Get a hold of the trick "vanishing coin" where you get a small plexiglass clear quarter. Prepare the plexi circle as you would a coin, and the illusion is that you have magnified the hole in the rubber and you can see right through it. Then pop the plexi circle through the square and let the spectator go nuts. GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN.
