"Just received my 'Super Sharpie', tried it out, and all systems are go. Clever innovation by Chris Smith, and for you frugal folks out there, you don't have to keep buying a 'gimmick' when the ink runs dry. Clear instructions via CD and also on paper. It solves age-old problems of the NW." -- fib
The Effect Does magic get any more direct than this?
Now you can predict a spectator�s freely thought of name, number, date, age - even the amount of change in their pocket. The list goes on and on - and your reputation will only grow and grow!
All this is possible with the Super Sharpie. The Super Sharpie is a revolutionary redesign of Eric Mason's incredible idea, which has become mentalism's most potent weapon. It's so incredibly simple to use, you�ll be performing mind boggling mental miracles just minutes after practicing with it.
The Super Sharpie can be used as a regular Sharpie - because it is! Feel free to hand it to spectators to sign cards - they�ll never discover its hidden secret.
There�s a built-in precision gimmick that allows you to make sharp, distinct predictions with clarity and legibility. Best of all, you'll do all this right under their noses - while they're staring at you. Since it's all built into the pen, there's no fumbling. You start clean when you pull the pen out, and you end clean when you put the pen away.
It�s self-contained, self-inking and undetectable, and it's always ready to go. You�ll make your predictions on playing cards (even plastic cards), business cards, and virtually anything else that you can write on with a regular a Sharpie pen.
In the 15 minute companion video CD (included), you�ll learn expert technique that will get you up and running with your Super Sharpe immediately. Comes with Super Sharpie, video CD and illustrated instructions.

This is a great new twist on an old idea. This device will take a lot less heat than the other similar devices out there. People are used to seeing sharpies.
Hi. This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
I got a Super Sharpie a couple years back, and to be completely honest, it's for the most part sat on the shelf. First of all, it's a little pricey for what you get. The idea behind it is genius, but the practicality and functionality of the thing is just not so good. It's harder to use than a swami gimmick, it's MUCH noisier (which is not good for this effect), and it needs refilling. It just isn't as practical to carry around.
Again, the idea is genius and I love the "hidden in plain sight" feature with this (much like Quantum Bender). However, practically, it just wasn't the thing for me. A swami is better.
I don't understand why someone would complain about the price of this item. If you wanted to buy a decent boon writer, it would cost at least this much. You can't compare this to cheaply-made gimmicks in this category.
Anyway, if you do mentalism work, you really need to have this sort of a gimmick. You could opt for a nail writer or a boon writer, but the reason I prefer this is because nowadays, a sharpie seems much more natural. Who still uses pencils? Plus, the writing from a sharpie is far easier to see.
Refilling it isn't a problem, since you can just use the insides of a regular sharpie. No need to repurchase a new one. Definitely one of my favorite gimmicks.

Way too expensive
by G Money from Gulfport, MS on 04/04/2010 23:37:16
This is a great little gimmick, as most magicians carry around a Sharpie anyway. However, it is way too expensive for what you get. This should be less than half the price that it is. It will require some practice, and you will really blow people away. The concept is great. I knocked off 2 stars solely because of how expensive it is.

Endless Possibilities

The super sharpie is a great gimmick that you should carry around all the time. Magicians usually carry multiple sharpies anyways so it's easy to get away with. The only downside to this product is that you are limited to certain canvases. A nice plastic coated business card will work great, but a paper one won't. The reactions you get will depend on how you use it though.
