Hey everyone
The Hot rod pen is one of those tricks you can do anywhere you go. When I
first started magic, I picked this up and began performing it within a few hours. Thats without
any prior magic training.
I first saw this trick done by a Sunday School teacher (after
church). I hadnt the foggiest notion of how it was done.
Pros:
1. Not too difficult
2. Fun to do. Only one real move to learn.
Cons:
1. I have been caught once doing
it. Why? Because I got sloppy and repeated it to one guy. Keep it clean, and dont repeat the
trick (like you should almost never do) and youll LOVE IT!
My overall take: I enjoyed
preforming it when I did it. I have since then dropped it for harder hitting and more specialized
effects. If you like the demo, go for it. If you do pen tricks (such as pen through dollar) then go
for it.
