Effect

Being able to effortlessly manipulate permanent ink, drawn from a regular sharpie, pencil, or pen.

Take a small stack of white paper make the first sheet signed and start drawing a stickMan really as simple as possible. You can let someone touch it to feel its real ink. Take the signed paper out of the stack and proceed to move the head of the StickMan, completely move it aside. Then move it again straight to the botom right corner. You can handle the paper straight away. Its now a souvenir and it could be on the back of your business card.

Review

This video will teach you 5 effect and 4 variations, from the original handling to an almost impromptu version.

You really can make any draw change form with that. You can start with some lines and proceed to move em to create the name of a card as 4 of diamond.

You could also force a card, let the spectattor shuffle his card and you never touch the deck. Get your stack of paper out, introduce your assisstant (Stickman), exchange some jokes with him before you start ripping his head appart asking if he will ever reveal you the chosen card?!?! and when the head is tottaly outside its original position blow on it and the name of the chosen card appear on center of the moved head.


Good sides

-Its almost impromptu and easy to reset.
-The gimicks are easy to make and everything can be bought at Wal-Mart
-The effect is tottaly visual and you dont have to hide much of anything.
-You can do that on your business card for a memorable souvenir.
-You can get ready to perform with a borrowed pen and paper.
-You can reveal a card that way.
-Everyone will come up with their own routines and probably its own variation.

Bad side
-You always finish dirty but with such a small gimmick you can mostly keep it sticked to your hand all night without anyone to notice it!

-Some variations use a switch wich is not really clever but its easy to go around that by just having your gimmick readied on your stack of paper couple minutes ahead.

- Its a bit expensive for a simple trick altho the possibilities are endless and there is a lot of complementary informations.


Comments

This video is really to get you started with the basic principle, some of the routines are really well thought and mixed togheter with some imagination you will find endless of possibilities.

The reactions to this are tottaly awesome, people are stunned and tottaly brainStormed when you give em the piece of paper to examine. It looks tottaly impossible and will be remembered for ever.

If you have purchase "Fraud" this use the same principle with many original idea. But if you are like me and you dont use american money in your country, Drawn Apart will be a lot more valuable to you too!
