First, let's talk about the effect. Just look at the video, this is a strong, visual piece of magic.
I actually use this pen to have people sign a bill in one of my strolling routine (Bill to wallet,
then same bill to spectator's wallet, then bill to spectator's shoe), and I start by doing pointless
first, then the routine... but the pen stole the show. That is how POWERFUL that trick is. After
your spectators EXAMINED the pen, they are floored, speachless.
The DVD is very clear, the
moves are relatively easy (they'll need practice just like anything, but the moves are within reach
of everyone) and the extras on the DVD are awesome. It's nice to have multiple takes on an effect (I
liked Carl Andrews way of ending clean and garett Thomas way of having the pen examined at ANYTIME
during the routine, . Those extras gave it five star instead of four).
The gimmick is VERY
well made and it's BIC (Greg makes a clever joke about it in a presentation that lower's the guard
of the people who may be suspecting the pen to be gimmicked). Plus, it can be inspected, wich knocks
people unconscious (Well, not literally, but it fools them bad).
Finally, the practicality
(it's easy to bring a PEN in a routine or an act... much more easy than, let's say a rattle box or
something like that), quality of the gimmick and the contents of the DVD (Extras, presentation AND
teaching) makes this trick a must.
I was fooled badly.
