This is one of the strongest effects you can do with a Sharpie marker.
A Sharpie is placed on a table or on a glass. The performer concentrates and the pen falls dramatically to the floor. Simple, direct yet powerful. Both Banachek and Ryan have had people screaming and even running out of a room!
With this updated version by Philip Ryan you can now control the timing of the drop – making it take 15 seconds or up to 2 minute depending on how dramatic you want this to be.
Some key points to remeber:
You can control the time of the drop of the pen
No magnets or threads
You can be as far away as you like from the pen when it falls
Includes gimmick Sharpie plus download video
Perform surrounded anytime, anywhere
Easy to do!

The great Banachek used to wow the college crowds he performed before using Larry White’s Tip Pen, which is a gimmicked el cheapo Bic ballpoint pen (or biro pen to my UK mates). Those are still around, and you can pick one up for about $(US)10. While the working is generally attributed to Banachek and White, I remember reading how to make one in an early Bob Cassidy book. I tried, and as quite frankly as Bob put it, it was a pain in the a**. While the Tip Pen does work, it’s fairly finicky, and I have to fiddle around and find the right surface and position to make it effective. I am happy to report that the gimmicked Sharpie of Fall–using the same method I’d imagine–works without a hitch, and once you get used to it, you can even set it to fall at varying intervals. I think that it must be the weight and center of gravity that make the larger diameter pen work better. I don’t know. I do know that it’s a classic effect and well worth the price. You get the pen and a link to the instructions. But once you understand the gimmick and play around with it, there’s really not much to know. It’s going in my bag in my gimmicked Sharpie collection.

Glad to see this revisited in a Sharpie format. This version you have a bit more accurate control as well, which is what I love about it. Comes with access to online instructions which is a nice touch as well. Don’t know exactly whats different internally for Banacheks original versions, but I’m impressed with being able to have the accuracy which Is obviously going to make your presentation better. Very happy with this purchase.
