Difficulty:2/5, requires alittle practice, you have to be extra careful using this device.
Effect: The magician displays a regular Bic pen, stating that it is an "electronic rating pen" with a computer chip inside which rates people on a scale from one to ten. He then places a penny on the back of a spectator's hand, stating that "this is a one...the lowest you can possibly be." With just a tap of the pen, the penny then visually changes into a dime..the spectator must be a perfect ten!
Gimmick: the gimmick is well put together, and quite clever. There are a few bugs that need to be worked out. It is well crafted, and of good Quality. It should last you a while, just as long as your nice to it
. It also comes with a penny shell, ad a mini penney as to create a good shrinkng coin.
What you get: Comes with pen gimmick, one penney shell, one mini penney. Instructions book, with three routines.
Instuctions: It comes with a manual, but you really dont need it. The trick is pretty self explanitory. It also comes with 3 routines, they are o.k. but imagination is your limit.
Reactions: I have just purchased this pen quite recently, and have only showed it to a few people. The few people that have seen it love it, and for some reason cant stop laughing afterwards.
Cost: The pen cost $9.99(U.S.) I'm not sure how much that is in the U.K., sorry guys.
Pro's:Easy to perform
Great reactions
Con's:Have to be very careful
Sometimes the gimmick doesnt take
Overall: Overall I give the pen a 9.5/10. This is a great little device and I highly recommened it. If you practice, and dont go too fast this will go as a great effect. Have Fun.
