We are really happy to present to you the NEW TRICK of Mickael CHATELAIN : PEN or PENCIL!! For the first time, No playing card needed! An exclusive and very visual effect, so easy to perform! Based on a well known handling, this effect will fool your spectators!

The well-known English magician, Dynamo, has done this several times on his TV show, "Dynamo: Magician Impossible." Today it's your turn to do "Pen or Pencil" for your spectators.
The simplest things are often the most difficult to implement. Here's the proof!

PEN or PENCIL
By Mickael Chatelain

Today, Mickael Chatelain is offering his new creation, Pen or Pencil. Based on a simple principle, this new, extremely visual effect will completely fool your spectators.

This time, no playing cards, just two writing implements - one transparent Bic pen with its cap and a wooden pencil.

Take out the Bic and the pencil in front of your audience. You have nothing else in your hands. A wooden pencil in one hand, a Bic pen in the other, that's it! Invite one of you spectators to chose either.

Let's say he chooses the wooden pencil. Place it into your trouser pocket, leaving only the Bic pen in your hand - nothing else.

Remove the cap from the Bic while explaining that you'll make it disappear merely by blowing on it. You don't believe me? Close your fingers around the cap and blow on your hand. When you open your hand, the trick seems to have failed as the cap is still right there in the palm of your hand! It hasn't vanished!

Explain that it's not the cap that was supposed to disappear, but the Bic pen!

I don't have to describe the reaction of your spectators when they notice that you are no longer holding the Bic pen in the the other hand but rather the wooden pencil!!!

The Bic has completely disappeared without a trace! A disappearance in full view! Your spectators won't believe their eyes. With just a fleeting glance at the cap, the Bic has changed places with the wooden pencil!

It's completely impossible. You haven't moved a muscle! You then proudly take the Bic from your pocket where moments ago you had put the wooden pencil.

An absolutely unbelievable transposition! An effect that we guarantee will drive your spectators crazy! You may, if you wish, hand out both the Bic and the pencil for examination at the end of the routine.

Do it for yourself in front of a mirror. You'll fool yourself, so strong is the illusion!

Take Note:

  • No pulls, no manipulation!
  • You have only the Bic and the pencil in your hands, nothing else.
  • The pen and the pencil are really different; no one could confuse them.
  • You can learn to effect the change in five minutes!
  • Perfect for close-up or in the street. You'll keep it on you at all times.
  • Instant reset!
  • Delivered complete and ready to go!

  • The DVD will explain everything you need to know!

    Great Trick and East to Do Report this review
    Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 3rd, 2015
    I have used this many times over the past few days and it gets great spectator reactions. Just takes a few seconds to perform the basic routine and people love it. There are two basic presentations - the "in your face" instant change and the disappearing pen cap misdirection effect - I find the second one to be more impressive to spectators.

    Obvious Report this review

    This is a great effect but it is a little bit obvious. You won't be able to tell in the trailer but it is. I have had several spectators guess how it's done. Also the angles, you're really going to have to work on those. Over all though you can do what it shows in the trailer. Oh and it's not examinable without a switch. It also comes with the supplies to make three more gimmicks.

    This one is the type of method I try to stay away from.
    It is clever, but not for me. It is too angle sensitive.
    The move can be fickle especially for a cylindrical object like a pen.

    I was not sure if I should try it, but I did
    and I am really surprised how great it looks in real live situations.Some say it is obvious, but ONLY for magicians.

    You can easily improve the handling, to fool even magicians:
    For example use a folded piece of paper, pierce it with a pen and when you take it out from the bottom, you changed it into a pencil.
    This handling gives a good misdirection to conceal the "move".

    Give it a try and start to create:)

    It is very visual but definitely not practical.
    You would'n be able to use it in real life.

    It works but can be better Report this review
    Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 10th, 2016
    With the price, it is worth the money. I mean by quantity. the package include enough that can last forever. Up close the gimmick will look odd. It is one of those stand a feet away and watch.

    overall it is a good effect. I would recommend. It fit well with one of those"show me a trick" moment.

    Best pocket quicky Report this review
    Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 30th, 2022
    Dont listen to other reviews that say its only for the screen. I ve done this plenty for people in real world, just keep extra pen around in pocket and do super simple pocket switch like you were putting them away. One of the best quick magician 24 hrs a day trick in my pocket. No Cards! Hyper Visual! Cheaper than knives! If they are getting a long close stare at it you are doing it wrong. Once you get one you can make others easily.
