I just heard Shane Black singing the praises of this effect from Magi fest on the Magic Live Newswire Podcast...

Haha me too! I just listened to that last night!

Well I just purchased this today. I only buy about 5 new items a year (if even that, as I am very selective), and well, I've been thinking about this effect and a couple of others and yours won out. Matt your effect struck a cord with me and I have to give it a try.

I believe you will really enjoy it. If you have any issues, just send me a PM. Best wishes and have fun with SPIN. -Matt

Just got this in the mail yesterday, and popped it in while getting ready for work.
All I can say is Wow. Won on the degree of ease, Wow on the teaching, and Wow on the awesomeness of this effect. I know I tell people they should always practice effects before taking them out into the real world, but I broke my own rule last night and performed this at a kegger. It freaked people out, they loved it. One guy took the pen, I had been using, after words and tried to do it himself, with failure, and the crowd around us just burst out laughing cause he was so focused on doing it (even he started laughing). Though the effect of the night was my version of biddle, which just knocked everyone on their [edited]. Spin was second for sure in reactions.
Ill post a full review later after I put more time into it and watch the full dvd again.
Im very satisfied with this purchase.

Holly molly.....What an effect....I just had to buy and see for myself and mate, I was not dissapointed. Your DVD was funny, informative, and most importantly, UNBELIVABLE magic. Is this REAL magic? When my pen moved for the first time, I nearly P&%$ my pants!!

Thanks Matt. I'm still trying to get the pen spin down perfect before I try and spin bigger stuff. But mate, well done. Oh, I'll pay good money to see you spin the dog......
