I’m really happy with this purchase. There are so many new routines possible with this gimmick, as well as ways to enhance your existing material. I’ve already used it as a force for Chaptrick, and have also thought of a way to use it as an opener for Craig Petty’s “Chop.”
What I like most about it is it’s simplicity. I love performing magic, but as a hobbyist, often struggle with approach. The effects possible with this gimmick will make it so much easier to begin a close-up or street performance because as it says, the spectator does almost all of the work and the gimmick is so clever I doubt will be noticed by more than a few, and likely not anyone. So, the opening to my routines will be no-worry, no-hassle mental effects that act as great segues into more complicated material.
If you’re ready for something new and SUPER easy, this is a strong option for you! Thanks Mr. Miranda and Mr. Sereno!

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.

Great gimmick, I use it all the time. The only thing is, is that it doesn’t tell you how to store it properly. I’ve gone through 2 markers and they run out so quickly, but it was because of how I was storing them. You NEED to remove the cap that comes with mental pen, and place a real genuine cap on it without the gimmick when you’re not using it. Keep the trick cap somewhere safe. Otherwise, your sharpies will run out of ink during a show like what happened to me, and it’ll be really embarrassing.
