Pros:
1.) HIGHLY visual
2.) Very easy to gimmick the sharpie
3.) You only need scissors
4.) Placing the gimmick into position is easy and is perfectly disguised with misdirection (It's
not a fishy move. The misdirection is not a huge thing.)
5.) The bill can be signed by the
spectator using the SAME sharpie
6.) The sharpie can be used for other effects. When you're
ready to perform, you can immediately use the same sharpie
Cons:
1.) The angles on the
ad are a bit false. The spectator cannot be to the side of you. It is more like 90 degrees.
2.)
The ENTIRE sharpie cannot be examined too much. All I can say without exposure is that the spectator
CAN write with the sharpie.
3.) I accidentally ripped a dollar in half practicing. This was due
to not being careful and pulling too hard on the gimmick.
Overall, I think this is great! I
knocked off a star for the angle considerations and the price, but I think it is worth it if this is
something you would use. If you like this effect, you won't be disappointed.
They also
suggest gimmicking a Sansminds Sharpie. I thought that was a great idea. You can have a two in one
sharpie. But you obviously can't have the bill signed and given back if you know what a Sansminds
Sharpie does.
