One thing is clear. Mark Calabrese performs this trick A LOT. And why wouldn't he, with those reactions. A FREELY selected, SIGNED card ends up inside the sharpie marker they signed it with. Surreal, and impossible, and people FREAK OUT.

It's called "Card in Sharpie" and it's a worker. Perfect for working pros, table hoppers or just casual performers who want to freak out their friends.

It is instantly reset and ready to go again for your next audience so there's no fiddly setup time.

What you get is a bullet-proof routine that Mark has been perfecting in his act, and an extremely detailed instructional video that you'll only get from a pro who's clearly been working a trick daily.

Clean trick, detailed tuition Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 15th, 2018

This is a really good video - Mark goes through each component of the trick in detail, and it's all easy to follow. He demonstrates each of the moves as well as referencing where they can be learned elsewhere, and has alternative handlings for newer magicians to get started with.

Excellent, however... Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 15th, 2018

This is a beautiful routine with a very surprising finish. The routine is move intensive and I would not suggest this to a beginning magi. Even though none of the separate components are all that difficult to perform, a good working knowledge of basic palming technique and card control will serve you well. You will learn a lot after studying Mark's use of misdirection here. This is an excellent purchase for anyone willing to put in some quality practice time....

C.I.S. - Review Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 20th, 2018

I have been looking for something like this for a while. I've been considering CIM (Card in Marker) and Bliss for a while and discussing it with other magicians I know. I attended a lecture by Mike Kaminskas who has yet another unique method (which was amazing), and all of them are different methods. After reviewing all of them, I think I like this one the best so far (IMHO). While they all have merit, this one fit my set better. I'm happy with the routine, and it flows well and was well thought out. It will easily fit into any set.

I super duper love this!! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 26th, 2022

I do this trick at every opportunity I can at a bar that is. The Bar is the best place to perform magic to a crowd that gets bored talking with each other after the first 30 minutes of arriving. And that’s when I come in. When I perform card in sharpie, the crowd starts teasing each other about what to put on the card. They’ll start teasing the person I chose to help me with the trick. But overall this is a great effect and I love doing it! Not to mention, I also love destroying cards!

Organic and underestimated Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 30th, 2021

This trick is really underestimated... there are many versions of "card to box" and "card to gimmicked prop" on the market. But what could be more organic and logical than actually using the props that you already have in play?!

It totally makes sense that the card jumps into your Sharpie marker as a finale, as it also becomes an unexpected kicker ending to the routine. This is sooo easy to pull off and Mark is an excellent teacher. Way to go!

Awesome trick, great reactions Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 26th, 2021

The method behind this was way better than I expected. It is completely justified and will floor your spectators because the ending is inevitable. You can easily work this trick into any other card routine and the routine ends in full circle. It’s superb, thanks Mark!

So Good!!! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 7th, 2020

I haven't had the chance to use this on real audiences yet, but I'm sure I will. It's so clean and powerful, and not out of reach for anyone who has a beginner's understanding of card magic. take the time to practice this, and it will be well worth your while!
