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.

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.

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.

#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.
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.
You can also just cut the glove rubber into square or
circles and use the rubber as the basic trick requires.
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.

#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.

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.
