Okay so I know exposure is against forum rules but this trick has been bugging the hell out of me for the past few days.
So my friend told me he wanted to show me a magic trick and borrowed my pen. I know he didn't switch it out for a gimmicked one or anything because I break off the clips on the caps and he didn't do anything suspicious with it. Anyway, he held it between his fingers and started to shake it lightly and my pen started to bend and wobble as if it were made of rubber. He handed it back to me immediately and it was totally solid. I know they make flexible pencils and stuff but this was my pen and I'm almost 100% positive it wasn't a gimmick.
How did he do this?!? I was thinking some sort of magnets or mirrors were used but I am truly stumped! Thanks guys!
