Decent build, been practicing dropping the gimmick and it seems to be holding up. Nothing much to
this it does what the trailer says. The instruction is concise.( I omitted clear because there is a
a Scottish accent to understand while not the thickest I ever heard it did have me taking pause to
re listen to a few things.)
I bought this for segue to an effect which I’ve yet to purchase.
It can be done pretty easily and the angles are pretty easy to deal with.
It’s a middle of
the road effect that can be done as a one off but works best for a lead in chuckle or perhaps a
throw away finale to an effect using a sharpie, you know, to reiterate that your magi” is on
point.“

I have a Kung Fu Cookie and of course a Kung Fu half dollar (Karate Coin) which most of us have.
The Kung Fu Kap is a totally unexpected effect from the point of view of the spectators. This is a
well made if not simple gimmick and it gets laughs with various patters. It works just like it is
advertised. It is a fun ice breaker to use during a table or small group approach. Great angles
and with a little practice this is a short but killer opener.

Picked this up after seeing an online review and it getting 5 stars. I dont tend to perform things
like this but did the "lets play a game routine" i saw on line and it was great fun.
this gives
you all the time you need to do the load and it gets a whole table up and enjoying it.
And for a
very low price its a hidden gem

Short and sweet but to the point!
Bought this at the lecture and it went straight in
to my set, a quick easy to do effect, and a bargain! Awesome well done guys!

This trick is fun to do just by itself but I enjoy using it as part of my act. There are no cons
imo. You get what you see and if taken care of, it can last a very long time.
I am satisfied
with this purchase.

I always had an issue with the karate coin effect as its all about swapping and hiding the gimmick
and they cant keep it etc.
What i love about this is it solves all those issues. It is your pen
but they have been using it the whole time, so you dont have to worry about it being kept or
examined etc.
A underated gem .
Genuinely think Jamie needs to do a Penguin lecture as
he clearly has some amazing ideas that need to be seen.

Jamie performed this a few nights ago at his lecture and had five of us up taking part, dancing and
twirling and it was so funny , such a good and better routine then whats on the DL.
This is so
easy to do and the idea to give them a sharpie with your business sticker on it at the end is a
brilliant idea

Cap w. hole gaffe is loaded ALL THE WAY UP TO THE "R" OR "P" on the barrel of your Sharpie.
So audience can see as much of the Sharpie as possible.
Start:Take the loaded Sharpie
from your pocket. Pull the reg cap off.
Your index finger's wrapped around gaffe.
Don't
tell them what you're going to do.
Just slightly toss real cap in the air.
Swipe and reveal.
Very fun. You can add a "hoo-ah."
And swipe

This is funny and i like it i will do this to my friends in college as i think they will laugh
This is a funny and pretty easy trick, though it will require a little practice to get the timing
right. It's a great "bit of business" to do any time you use a sharpie for a routine.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be performing it often unless I come up with a way to modify
the gimmick. What you receive is the simplest possible thing that would accomplish what you see in
the trailer, and while I generally think simple is better, there's a significant downside in this
case. Because the writing end of the sharpie is exposed through the whole sequence, you're very
likely to accidentally get ink on your hands. I practiced for a while with a dried-out marker, and I
still didn't feel confident that I'd be able to do the necessary move without marking myself in a
real performance. If you're less concerned about that, or if you don't need to be able to write with
the sharpie (and so can use a dry one in performance) then I think you'll be very happy with this.
For me I don't think this one funny moment is worth walking around with sharpie on my hand for the
rest of the day, so it probably won't get much use.
