YES, this WILL take practice to be able to use it confidently and convincingly. But the time you
put into it WILL BE worth it. For what you can do with it, this is CHEAP! Someone said it makes
noise when you use it. That tells me that this person has not put in the time with it to develop
his technique and to experiment with the best writing surfaces. This is not a toy for kids. This
is not a "self working magic trick" to impress your friends. For anyone who is serious about this
art though, this is an amazing tool to add to your arsenal! I consider myself a mentalist, not a
magician. This is one of the tools I ALWAYS have on me. I am able to do a complete mind reading
act, seemingly impromptu using nothing more than a couple markers, a small notepad in my shirt
pocket, and a business card wallet in my back pocket(with some business cards and billet slips
inside obviously). You can too. Just get yourself a Super Sharpie, a Telethought Wallet, Psypher
(with Psypher Sharpie), and Allan Zingg's complete course on billet work. Forget the deck of cards.
This is all you need to create mindblowing mentalism demonstrations anytime anywhere with a few
normal looking items that are totally normal to carry around with you.
