Alright guys, here is a reveiw for the best Bill Penetration of all time in my opinion. its called Artificial Experience 2.0 or also known as A.E. 2.0, its by Peter Eggink.
First of all, let me say this, Peter Eggink has another trick out like this called Artificial Experience (A.E.) Its completly different from A.E. 2.0. because A.E. 2.0 is more of a streamlined effect from A.E., and also A.E. 2.0 is also alot easier to do in my opinion. So now that you know a little about the trick lets get started.

THE EFFECT - The magician borrows a bill from the specator, the bill is folded in half and a pen or pencil is placed in the fold, then instantly and visually, the pencil penetrates through the bill right through the center. The pen/pencil is once again placed inside the fold of the bill, but this time the pencil melts through in slow motion!

DVD - The trick A.E. 2.0 comes with a DVD with Peter Eggink explaining on how he came about with the trick. Then he shows what the trick looks like, and he then he teaches you how to make the gimmick in great detail. Then he shows you how to do the trick. So the DVD is very informational. He teaches everything that you need to know about how to make the gimmick and how to perform the trick. So I give the DVD a 10/10.

THE METHOD - The method is a very good one indeed. It completly fooled me so bad that I kind of felt stupid that I didnt think of it myself. There is a gimmick involved which you have to make yourself. It wont take you long at all to make it, it took me about 10 min. to make it thats it. when your done with the gimmick, it should last you along time depending on how well you made it. Now some people dont like working with gimmicks me being one of them, but dont worry about it. The gimmick is completly invisible to the untrained eye. You could even hand it out and the spectators would never see anything wrong with it its that good.
Yes you can do it with a borrowed bill and a borrowed pen or pencil, but the down fall is that there is a swtich envolved before you do the trick itself. The spectators wont even know that a swtich went on because the switch is that clean. You could do the trick without doing a swtich also if that is what you prefere, but doing the trick with the swtich will seem even more amazing to the specators becasue you use there bill and there pen or pencil, or even a crayon!
The best thing about the method though to me is that there are no angles that you have to worry about! You can do this trick completly sourround bu spectators and they wont notice a thing! so that is a really good thing. I give the method a 10/10

THE SET UP- There really isn't a set up to this trick, all you have to do is make the gimmick and then you can carry it with you around in your pocket all day and can do the trick when ever and wherever. So I give the set up a 10/10.

Here are some final pros and cons for the trick.

PROS-
It can be done with a borrowed pen or pencil and a borrowed bill!
the trick is perfect for tablehopping and walk-around performances
you can perform the trick completly surrounded
the trick is extremly visual
and its very easy to do

Cons-
there is a swtich that needs to be done

FINAL THOUGHTS -
Like I said before this is a superb trick, its super easy to do, and extremely visual. The best thing about this is that everyting is borrowed from the spectators! The even better thing is that you can do A.E. 2.0 as a follow up from Mislead or even Just Passin thru, becasue there has been times when I've done a bill penetration using Mislead and then the specators tells me to do it again using their pen/pencil which wasnt possible, well know it is when you have A.E. 2.0 with you!!! I really recommend this item becasue its the ultimate bill penetration ever, and people who do alot of bill penetration this a must have for you!!!

OVERALL 10/1O

i saw many previews of this trick, just very very nice

10/10 this must be amazing. there are so many effects like this one. and hard to pick which one is the best. just passin' thru is great too!!
