Question about Pen Through Banknote variations.

[TedComedyMagic]

I've seen, and used, many variations of this effect, however, there is confusion over on a Facebook group I'm on as to who it's original creator was, Doug Edwards or John Cornelius.

Anyone know which came first?

The Pen Through Anything In 1993, John Cornelius released the Pen Through Anything, a cleverly gimmicked pen that allows the magician to produce the illusion of pushing a pen through a borrowed dollar bill, removing it, and leaving the bill unharmed.
