Magic Tricks

I hate writing bad reviews. But I feel like this product is worthy of one.
When I first received the whole thing, the marker worked, but not to my expectations. Even when the marker "disappeared" it was still very seeable. When I watched the video, it told me to use certain writing surfaces for better results, like dollar bills and cards. That worked better but still not to my standard of efficient.

But the real reason I am writing this review is because the day that I got the marker, I made a bunch of gimmicks using the ink, and the next day the ink stopped working. All of the gimmicks and all of the ink just stopped disappearing. I contacted penguin who said to use a lighter (I understand if that is cut out of the review for purposes of not revealing methods) to recharge the ink, and I did. That worked for a short period of time, but then the ink once again stopped working. I had to keep recharging it, and eventually it just stopped disappearing all together.

On top of this, the ink in the pen stopped working within a week too. I was following all of the instructions on how to use the pen, I tried my hardest to pump the ink out, but it was completely dried up. And no, I did not leave the pen open. I could barely get the pen to write, and when it did, the ink did not disappear. I have not gotten a single performance out of this trick, and to be frank, it was a little pricy.

I love penguin magic, and I am sad to have had bad experiences with this product. But, for me, it did not work at all. I think the idea is clever, and maybe a P'ink 2.0 would be a great idea. But this one did not cut it for me.
