The reason for selecting this name is that you vanish a 12'' to 18'' silk with the aid of a gimmick that gets away from the Thumb Tip but looks similar to the bare handed vanish. The gimmick is stolen away by the use of a pen or pencil. The mere act of poking the silk hank into your fist with a pen/pencil effects the vanish and your finger never entered your other hand. Any pen or pencil will work. No silk supplied.
