Does anyone remember a trick called THE ROTATING PENCIL? It was one of my favorites. Basically, a pencil passed through a closed fist point first, would emerge with the eraser on the point end and vice versa. At the end the spec would be able to examine the pencil.
Is it still available? If so where?

Hi Hank,
The Rotating Pencil was put out by James Rainho under the "Simplex" bannerhead. You can find it at www.rainho.com

Did you know there is a slieght-of-hand version of this? I don't remember whose it is, but I want to say Ross Bertram...

That rotating pencil mentioned, actually I saw Fred Kaps perform way back in the late 1950s, but I don't know who invented it.
It might have been something he picked up when visiting the US at that time, so the q. also is when-at what date/year- it got made available via mr. Rainho
