This was okay for a walk around. Any trick he uses it every day object has the potential for a big impact. I like the fact that I can carry this in my pocket. It is very limited since you cannot handed out for inspection. Penguin does a great job teaching performance. The form is also very useful for creative ideas.

This is just okay, but probably worth the few bucks that it costs. Pretty easy to perform, and fully examinable in the end.

This is just like a hot rod. Which can be a fun affect to perform and is a staple in magic, but the pen is not the best quality. I thought it would look like a better pen.

But if you want a hot rod on a pen then it is good.

This is a fantastic spin on a classic in magic! It always gets fantastic reactions so long as you don't repeat it for the same people. Really great little effect that packs big! I would highly recommend it! Add to cart!

A great trick for walk around magic or during breaks at school. The move is simple but effective. You simply show six coloured dots on both side of the pen. The spectator picks a number and you count it out. Suddenly, every dot on both sides of the pen turns to that colour. It is a very simple trick so don't expect to get huge reactions from it, but it's still fun to perform.

Very cool and visual trick it teaches you the paddle method which is a great tool for other magic tricks. This one is like the foundation for all these types of tricks that involve the paddle move which is sleight of hand so very good if your beginning your quest in magic.

Hey everyone

The Hot rod pen is one of those tricks you can do anywhere you go. When I first started magic, I picked this up and began performing it within a few hours. That’s without any prior magic training.

I first saw this trick done by a Sunday School teacher (after church). I hadn’t the foggiest notion of how it was done.

Pros:
1. Not too difficult
2. Fun to do. Only one real move to learn.

Cons:
1. I have been caught once doing it. Why? Because I got sloppy and repeated it to one guy. Keep it clean, and don’t repeat the trick (like you should almost never do) and you’ll LOVE IT!

My overall take: I enjoyed preforming it when I did it. I have since then dropped it for harder hitting and more specialized effects. If you like the demo, go for it. If you do pen tricks (such as pen through dollar) then go for it.

This is a very simple tricks but one that is effective with lay audiences. If you are a beginner and starting to get into sleight-of-hand this trick is great. It is very visual and will also work for kids.

I love thsi trick, its simple but since its a pen its a great trick to do in school or soemtihng and everyone loves it.

This is a good trick for beginners, so i diddnt have much use for it, but I did show a few people after a show one day and they really liked it. I would recommend this to anyone who thinks they want to learn the hot rod, but doesent want to spend twenty dollars on the T-6 yet. The vanish in the end of the video is well worth the price of this trick.
