This is a clever device that works pretty good. The Sharpie looks like the real deal. I ding it one
point for the following:
1. There really doesn't seem to be a very reliable way to get good
timing down - and timing is everything on this. You need time for patter and acting, because
standing there with your neck veins popping from exertion for 45 secs isn't fun and looks silly.
2. Yes it is a neat effect, but there really is a lack of a routine with this that would make
much of an impact. The impact just seems to be the falling.
3. The Sharpie Pen is not able to be
examined. The top is glued on. I think you could solve that by gluing a false tip that would allow
the top to be pulled off and the pen shown...maybe?
Anyway, its a fun trick and I am still
working on a routine to use...maybe a local spirit? Or some form of divination.
