Magic Tricks

This is a clever little idea for a nice little magic moment that ends with you clean and the sharpie in your participant's hands. I use it as the lead-in to my version of Alex Pandrea's wonderful TR.AP trick.

Nothing packs smaller than this, and it plays exactly as big as it needs to. One problem: The actual finish of the gimmick could emulate a sharpie clip better. It has the wrong texture, and the shape is pretty dissimilar to the genuine article. I don't feel comfortable performing it up close and slowly in broad daylight. You kind of have to speed through the trick, which detracts from the impact.

$23 is pretty steep for what you get, but I'm happy to have this in my set.
