“Many thanks Thingiverse for featuring this thing! Also, thanks for the “Alliance Of Magicians” heads up! :) An old pencil magic trick, designed to appear to chop a solid pencil into 3 pieces, then magically restore the pieces back together. Video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgqfPC3dVBA. I built my first version of this thing out of bass wood and “laddie” pencils in my high school days. Plastic versions of the illusion are available in magic stores and on the web, but I decided to design and print my own. All pieces are printed, even the “pencil” pieces.”
