I've used John Cornelius' Perfect Pen for over 20 years. I love it. But it looks like some classy
executive pen, not an everyday pen. I also love Tenyo's Shocking Pen. (By the way, both are more
expensive than Gifted Pen.) I have multiple other cheaper versions of the pen-through effect as
well. It's a great trick and gets a good reaction, every time.
However, Gifted Pen does
something none of those others can do—the pen-through effect with A BORROWED PEN!!! I think this is
a real advance and something I intend to keep with me where-ever I go. I keep one of the regular Bic
pens in my pocket anyway.
My only complaint is that, like so much other magic nowadays, it
came in this really nice case. It's unnecessary. Charge less and use a simple package. Again, I'm
saying that about so many other tricks as well.
