Here is Chu Magic's version of the now classic Zig Zag Cigarette, but using a "pencil" -- actually a plastic thing shaped like a pencil, but you could cut a real pencil to work, or use the case for a rolled up dollar bill Zig zag.

It is a nice case for the effect, which is (if you don't know it already): a pencil is placed in a case, and the middle is slid to the side, tri-secting the pencil into three pieces. (Is that redundant?) The pieces are clearly shown separated, and then put back in the case, the middle slid back in place, and the restored pencil emerges.

Size is for short pencils like used in golfing scores, etc.

This an earlier (1980-90's) version of the trick, with stars printed on the case.  Chu's has made three different designs of this effect.  Until the mid-1990's (I think), it had these stars, then there was a version with a sort-of loop design imprinted on the case, and current versions have goofy cartoon faces on the box.  They all look like "toy" magic, of course, but this earlier 80's-90's version is the best looking in my opinion.  Also much harder to find, so maybe its a collector's item!!
