Which is better? I'm not interested in deluxe, but between the Stealth or pen through, is there any difference in *gimmick* quality or do they both work to equal standards?

I think one can go through the bill further. But don't take my word. I'm wondering the same thing.

I think that the stealth pen is better, but I know that they use the same principle.

I would recommend you to get the perfect PENetration. Same gimmick with most deluxe pens, no switch, but much cheaper!
In love with magic!

I have the stealth pen. It is very convincing. I love to do it through peoples term papers. lol One flaw is the stealth pen only goes through about an inch
I tried practicing putting it through my shirt, it is hard to "pull" out.

yes the stealth pen is better in terms of qaulity but pen thru is better in visual effect. Putting through someones shirt is great

They are the same thing. I don't like either. I like the "Perfect Pen Through Anything" the best. One more thing... could you try calling it the pen through anything instead of pen through dollar because that is not the proper name, that is the name they give the rip off versions at Penguin Magic. At least I can distinguish the
"street magic gimmick-freaks" from the magicians. It will pass though. Andrew |

Pen Through Dollar is the Penguin Award for best all-time pocket trick. I have the Stealth Pen and the pen can be handed out for examination. However, because the PTD uses a pen with ribs, it produces realistic sounds as the each rib on the pen is penetrated in the dollar. I'd go for the Pen Through Dollar.

The Fantasma pen through dollar product was quite well made. Targeted towards the young magicians.
I would say support John Cornelius's original. Stealth pens and B2bombers are not that well made. Cheaper no doubt but quality wise, I would pass on these 2. |

I have a B2 Bomber pen from penguin, and I can tell you about its quality. The cap cracked down the side a few days after I got the pen, making the whole thing unuseable. I was able to get a replacement cap (no, not from penguin, they told me to go tape the cap), but from another pen. It works pretty well now with the new cap.

Personally, I like misled a lot more than the stealth pen. It has 2 phases, and the second phase is very visual.

Prefect PENetration is the Stealth Pen. It is a cheap Magic Makers knock off of Cornelius' version.

I love stealth pen personally it works really well. I have never had a spectator figure it out and they always ask me to stab the dollar. You can get a stealth pen on penguinmagic.com for around 14 dollars.

You can also get the exact same thing (perfect PENetration/stealth pen) on ebay for 8 bucks including shipping. that's where I got mine.

I have four different types of pen and the best is the Stealth Pen in my opinion.
It is also the perfect size for other gimmicked tricks, like pen through card. Don`t forget this special quality about the pen!!! |

The stealth pen works fine for me, I never had any problems with it. The only down side (if you want to call it a down side) is that the pen only goes through the dollar bill a short distance. But that is ok for me, but not for some.
