TENYO "INVISIBLE ZONE" (T-172) BY LUBOR FIEDLER 1995
-- ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EFFECT -
EFFECT
The effect involves a ballpoint pen which is pushed through a hole in the side of a small plastic case, emerging through another hole on the other side. No big deal, you might say, but the ’shock' comes when the case is opened to reveal that the center of the pen is completely invisible, even when it's moved back and forth. The pen seemed to be suspended in em...pty space.

All Original Apparatus, Instructions & Packaging.
BACKGROUND
On a visit to Nuremberg in february 1995, Hiroshi Kondo and Shigeru Sugawara had the pleasure of meeting the celebrated Magic inventor, Lubor Fiedler. Lubor showed them an idea he had been working on, using prototype props he had fashioned himself. The effect was so stunning and seemingly impossible that even the two great magical masters from Japan were completely fooled. They kept asking him to repeat the effect over and over again, behaving like novice schoolboy magicians at a magic counter! Lubor, obviously pleased with their enthusiasm, informed them that he had Tenyo in mind when he created the trick. Still baflled by the ingenuity of Lubor's creation, and after several more performances of the trick, Hiroshi and Shigeru were finally let in on the secret. Lubor permitted them to take the prototype back to Japan to show to the Tenyo staff. It was an immediate hit. They then spent six months of hard work on modifications and refinements to the design and the adaptation of the props and packaging for the Tenyo product line. They were delighted to announce that they had then signed a contract with Lubor Fiedler for worldwide distribution of this sensational effect. They called it "Invisible Zone”.] You can almost hear the voices of spectators around the world saying "Please do that trick just one more time."
DEVELOPMENT STORY
When Lubor Fiedler decided to create a product idea for Tenyo, he undertook the challenge of creating a trick that uses everyday objects. The object he selected was a ballpoint pen. He started by applying an old magic principle to a pen, and worked on a penetration effect in which the pen would pass through some object.
Later, he developed the idea of making the tip of the pen protrude from the opposite side of the object, and approached the format of the trick which was eventually released. Since Lubor has an intense interest in applying "transparency" or "the inability to see certain things" to magic tricks, the theme of the trick was changed at this stage from a "penetration effect" to "a space in which items become invisible.”
The theme of making the center of a pen invisible is unique, but the element of this trick that leaves a strong impression is the spring that appears inside the case. Not only does the spring increase the effectiveness of the illusion, but it also serves as psychological misdirection that makes spectators think that the spring might somehow be a necessary element.
Once he conceived of the spring idea, this product was completed. In Lubor's original prototype, it was necessary to connect the pen to the gimmick once the pen entered the case. However, Tenyo staff member Shigeru Sugawara replaced this with a mechanism that merely requires the pen to be inserted and removed, without having to be connected to the gimmick. This was added to the unit, and made the trick easier to perform. The title of this product was decided after sending numerous faxes back and forth between Tokyo and Spittal, Austria.
