All you need for this trick is a pencil and to wear a loose, long-sleeved shirt. This simple trick requires you to first hold a pencil by its edges with both of your hands and then make it look like it has disappeared into thin air. In reality, you'll be snapping the pencil to the side of one arm and then making it disappear down your sleeve. Here's how you can pull it off:
# Hold the pencil's edges with your thumb, index, and middle fingers, turning your hands so the backs of your fingers face the audience.
# Apply a bit more pressure to the pencil with the fingers of your right hand, making the pen bend a bit toward your right inner wrist.
# Move your hands up and down a bit to create some movement.
# Appear to snap the fingers on your left hand, making the pen move so it is lying along the right wrist.
# Discreetly move the pen into the sleeve on the right hand, showing that the pen has disappeared.
# The faster you can do this, the more convincing it looks.
