I bought this one year ago this month and still have not performed it for anyone because I can't get
it to work. The creator's tutorial was sadly lacking in what kind of pad to use.
I've
tried three different kinds with no result. Highly disappointed. If it actually does work, I'd like
to know how.
Why won't Peter Eggink give more detailed information on the pad he uses? In
the tutorial he says just about any kind of notepad will work. That is so vague it's ridiculous. Any
kind, Peter? Well, I've tried three different kinds and none work. He doesn't give any specifics
like how many pages in the pad, what thickness of paper, what kind of surface on which to lay the
pad, etc.
Just a word of caution to anyone considering this effect. The tutorial is very
short, not a lot of effort was put forth in the explanation of this otherwise fantastic effect...if
it would only work.
I am very disappointed with this purchase. My recommendation? Don't
waste your money.

Bought it at Blackpool.
First I thought of magnets, then loops and after that electronic.
But when I saw the price, I understood that I was wrong.
So I took the plunge.IT’S FREAKING
AMAZING.My best purchase since a very, very long time.

I have performed this trick about 10 times now. 8 out of the 10 the spectator guessed the method
right. I think as magicians when we see stuff like this we over think it. Laymen seem to catch onto
this one very fast. I dont really recommend this. I wish I wasnt thinking like a magician when I
bought it.

I watched 3 minutes of the instructions and my mind is already racing with a hundred possible uses
for this! Brilliant.
There’s no construction of any gimmicks. You don’t have to use a
giant notepad. You don’t need to change the needle in any way. There’s no funny moves. It’s
brilliant.
The best magic is simple and a 4 year old could do this and fool everyone.
I cannot wait to see what other people use this for.

Once you find out the secret, you my think... "that all?" and you may be left wanting it to be more.
Don't let this feeling override the feeling you had watching this performed. I absolutely love this
as this is something I will definitely use!

Nice little miracle that amazed the people I showed it for. Will probably not use it as a magic
trick since my 11 year old daughter figured it out right away.
The video is too basic and a lot
of important info is not presented:
- You have to use certain type of notepad
- If you keep
going too long the needle will fall off the pad
- It's not a good idea to lift the pen between
strokes, as the needle might move

The instructional video simply didn't give me enough information about the objects being used to
perform this well and consistently. So as of now it's certainly NOT a worker. My trial and error has
cost me more than I paid for the download and not even the product FB group has helped much. I've
even spoken to Aeon who didn't offer great insight. I feel specific information should have been
researched and given. Just being honest.

Ok,
I am not known to all of you. Yet, I am a lifetime student and practitioner in the art of
magic. One other note, I am a a published creative graphic artist. I have used sketch pads,
notebooks stacks of scratch paper all of my life as a true old school artist.
I did not
know about the all natural magic lurking within and under my very own hands.
As a performer
versed in comedy magic, family fun shows as well as mentalism and the Bazarre. I was floored by the
effect of Voodoo Needle. Many creative presentations instantly came to mind for a full range of
shows.
YES, I believe that it is either a killer opener or closer.
Close up, walk around
with proper staging, parlor,...
I will kindly request to my fellow Magi,... PLEASE GUARD
THE SECRET, do not share it's simple all natural workings with your fellow performers. Meaning do
not tip the bit.
Voodoo Needle is destined to be a true classic. It is not often that a gem
reveals itself to the world of magic.
It is honestly a treasure to be held, nurtured in it's
presentations,....
I for one am blessed to have gifted it creator with the reasonable sum
asked and will use it creativity and wisely.
I hope there is a website created for Magi to share
their experiences and ideas with and for the use of the incredibly all natural and basically true
magic secret behind Voodoo Needle.
I hope this review insights and inspires.
Best to the
Magi who introduced this effect and ideas at Blackpool and to the Magi who will both honor them
buying this effect and respectfully guarding it's secret.

This is crazy, I was so annoyed I never thought of this. So simple and effective. Everything they
say in the add is true, no gimmicks, borrowed material.
It's also very easy to change the
presentation for this and make it your own.

Seriously? I paid $14 for this?
The possibilities are endless. Mind blown.
