> Static Marker by Wonder Makers

It’s a stretch Report this review

The trailer was good! Too good! It was so well produced and flashy that I was bautyrally super excited and a bit leery with this realese.
The first thing the instructions teach is how to fix the gimmick, which was nice because it broke about two minutes after watching the 32 minutes or so of instructions. I have yet to fix it and had some difficulty at the Starbucks where it failed.
I bought this for the ring effects. I use Bandwidth so the pk move has only worked with that ring three or for times out of the fifty plus attempts.
The ring stop works but the steps to get there are a bit unatural it looks like your fingers are holding something.
I don’t do card effects but wonder how solid they would be after the pk ring not working, surely a quarter to half a deck of cards is heavier?
The city prediction had my interest and it works but the handling once again is suspect and requires a slight modification to the gimmick and removing that prediction may break the gimmick or once again appear knacky.
The pen balance? Meh.
The static shock feels like a real shock! But there is no routining on this or any of the effects (well maybe city prediction and the card effects that’s not entirely correct) I would have liked to seen live performances to get an idea on how to present theese effects.
This gimmick is not examinble, so better learn a switch before handing it to a spectator.
Allthough I am not completely disappointed to say I am happy with the 33$ I spent would be a “stretch”

I doubt you will be disappointed. That is just one person's view. The Wonder Makers site shows the instructional video without having to purchase and I see how this device will impress.

Looking forward to hearing your review jokerspade5.
EZrythem “I can see how it can impress”? So that’s a statement from viewing the instructions? Not performing? Don’t sweat it I haven’t performed it either cause it failed minutes after watching the demo. I wonder if you are on the payrolls. As far as fixing it, I find a tangled itr is easier to fix than trying to thread this needle for the mend, if you will.
But please share jokerspade5 perhaps I am wrong but I think magic companies should produce durable and reliable tools not toys with “choking” hazards

I made my own from scratch and I really enjoy this. Not for sure why the negative review.

The bandwidth ring is too heavy to be use on this product, try to change the ring for lighter ring, I tried bandwidth to float and it was too heavy to IT and the IT was broken. And it's too heavy for an Elastics clear bands . Use the marker for a lighter items . To know that the marker could handle the item , test it first on an IT .

Hey EZrhythm, can you tell me how to watch the tutorial, I searched their site and found no obvious place for the video. I would like to buy this but I want to make sure it's right for my set/venue. This is a similar marketing technique that Vanishing inc used for the marksman deck, show THEN sell.
