"We humans have a long history of using writing instruments to record and transfer our thoughts and impressions.
We magicians, on the other hand, have a long tradition of tricking those very instruments to baffle minds and craft unforgettable illusions."Imagine if the pens and effects in this book were sold individually—yep, you'd be staring at a bill north of $900. But don’t worry; we’re not about to let that happen.
This gem of a book is a delightful blend of DIY projects and killer magic routines, featuring 9 major DIY projects and 7 fully fleshed-out routines, along with a treasure trove of additional tricks.
Inside, you'll discover how to whip up 3 varieties of flash pens, a flameless smoke-loading pen, a PSI pen, versatile multi-purpose pens, clever hacks with off-the-shelf pens, and some mentalism utility pens that will have your audience scratching their heads. No need to be an electronics whiz—just bring your crafty self and the right know-how. Each low-cost project is paired with tested routines that turn your gimmicked pen into an effect that will leave your spectators slack-jawed and bewildered.
And let’s talk visuals! This book is bursting at the seams with over 150 color photos, 13 detailed illustrations, a heap of diagrams, 11 instructional video links, and a current source list for all the materials (as of July 2012, of course).
Why shell out $150 for a PSI pen when you can concoct your own for less than $8? Or craft a sturdy flash pen for under $10, or a smoke pen without the flames for a mere $20? Most of these projects can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less using items you probably have lying around the house, and at a fraction of the retail price. Seriously, if each of these pens and effects were sold separately, you’d be looking at a mind-blowing total of over $900!
