Impossible Pen and Twister aka Pencilia

What would be a reasonable price to buy these two effects without the box?

I have Twister (pencilia) for sale (without a box), I`m asking 45 dollars + 15 shipping for it.

But I only have German instructions. Does anyone have English instructions scanned for this?

They are still for sale in box for reasonable prices (40 - 50 USD) when you search well. Kellobotond's price is pretty spot on (as always ;) ).
I might have the instructions for Twister scanned Botond, I'll loook for them tonight. Drop me a pm in case I forget ;)
Oh and David, don't hesitate to buy these two gems. Especially Twister if often overlooked but is one of the more clever, mechanical tricks that is impossible to understand the first time you see it. You'll love the secret if you don't know it already).

Hello everyone,
Thanks for the assistance. Thank you KelleBotond, but I am actually hoping to find one locally to avoid the international postage, as I have spent too much this month already). Now if you were selling those glorious Hungarian pastries :)..
I have always wondered if Twister could be adapted to a larger format, (if it has not been done so already). I am surprised the trick is not in production, as everyone raves about the effect. Maybe it was arbitrary with no specific reason in the decision to discontinue it. Like the lamentations of poor Crystal Cleaver: "Why couldn't I have been the one taken out of production in order to become rare and wanted by all. Why not make Dragon Alter stay too long at the party; I am clearly better It isn't fair I tell you, it isn't fair, I could have been a contender". :( 8-)

I thought you were on to something here.

A combination using Impossible Pen and then Twister.

I just checked and the pen is too long. Too bad.

John,
How about the Shrinking Pen? I only know the trick from videos, but could it be slightly reduced before placing it into the Twister then extended once removed? I imagine an interesting effect could emerge from that.

The Shrinking Pen is too fat. Besides being too long, the Impossible Pen is too fat as well.

Do not ask about the Invisible Zone pen.

I didn't think this all the way through.

You would need a second pen that would have to be destroyed which IMO would not be worth it.

PLUS

Twister is not like Zig Zag Cig where you can easily swap out cigs for pencils for metal bars, it may not be possible to swap out the pencils in Twister.
