Multi Impalment – jim Rainho

You show a foam coffee cup and puncture a small hole on the bottom. You then insert a corner of a silk hanky into the cup and out through the bottom so that cup is centered on the hanky. You push six sharpened pencils right through the side of the cup and apparently through the hanky. You tug on the hanky but it does not move because it is impaled by the pencils. A magic word and you pull out the unharmed hanky and show the interior of the cup with the pencils crisscrossing the inside. Supplied with a clever gimmick, use your own cup and silk.
