Wow! This is a modern version of a really old mentalism utility gimmick, straight out of Annemann.
And it is brilliant. Simply brilliant. It solves the problem of switching out Sharpies so that you
can just do the routine simply and cleanly. As Joao says, it may be the only utility where the
spectator actually unwittingly resets the gimmick for you. With it you can work minor miracles.
Now some of you are thinking, this thing is a $39.95 Sharpie! Yes, but when you see the
precision manufacturing of the gimmick--and you get two spares--you'll see that these must've be a
b**** to custom manufacture. If your Sharpie dries up, throw it away, get a new one, use the
gimmick, and you are set. This should last you forever.
Again, perhaps this is not a
duffer's tool, but rather a handcrafted item for professionals. Every mentalist needs one. It is
superb and sure to become a classic.
