Amazing sharpie is very well made and will last a very long time. Its better to use to vanish a coin
or used for the flip stick move. I use it everyday. The light is very bright so your spectators
can't miss it. My only complaint is that when you produce the light there is a small noise. Kinda
like clicking a pen is the best way to describe it. But overall I will use this forever and ever.

I first owned the Flash Pen by Alan Wong. Unfortunately it stopped working. Alan no longer sells it
so he sent me something else in exchange, so I ended up buying this as a replacement.
It
works well and does what it should, but the craftsmanship is much worse than the flash pen. The
Flash Pen for example was a perfect Sharpie and had no visible damage, only a small hidden light and
button to activate it.
This Amazing Sharpie seems to contain components that do not fit
inside the sharpie well.. Thus part of the sharpie is bulging even when the button and light are
hidden from view. Therefore it looks a bit cheap and detectable.
I wouldnt worry about it
too much as its generally not the main part of your trick, just an enhancement, but I was surprised
I did not get the same quality seen in the Flash Pen.
One more thing, unlike the Flash Pen
you can use this sharpie to write with and refill the ink if needed. So there is that... but that is
not the main thing I would use this for, so having a second sharpie that actually works is fine to
me.
I wish someone would make one like the Flash Pen again, with the electronics neatly
inside the pen and not bulging out the side.

Its a great idea but like all electronic stuff it can be a bit hit and miss. When I received it, the
ink was dried out and the flash worked intermittently,Penguin thankfully refunded my money.

I love this sharpie and it works so smooth. There is no sound when the flash goes off and it is just
darn fun to play with. It is one of my favorite things i have got in magic in awhile. Thinking about
getting another color because i also use a blue sharpie in my routines. Did i say i love it! Get one
you will not be sorry.
