Does anyone have this. It looks pretty sweet, but something tells me its not what it appears to be.

If anyone has it, could you post a review.

i would like to know more about it too, i can't find any info on it.

All I can find is the info posted on the sites that are selling it. But I would like to see a review before I make my decision.

Here's a review...

Picking through the anti penguin posts, it looks like this could be a bit of a turkey.
what i want to know is, where can i buy the pen ?
It must be available elsewhere, like the frixion biro.

also, i suspect that its heat that sets it off, rather than moisture.

Loved this (from the first post on the penguin link):

The instruction booklet is no perfect. Lots of spelling and grammatical errors.

I was just about to say something about that.

World Magic Shop are now stocking this item.

Is this the David Blaine Exile effect?

From the penguin thread linked above:

On a scale of 1-10, I rate the whole thing a 2. And I only went this high because I'll be able to find SOME use for it somewhere. Go with T11's eXhile and be done with it.

Which I think is Theory 11's eXile by Mathieu Bich, available for preorder here: http://www.mjmmagic.com/store/exile-by- ... -6794.html . According to the link this version is the one used by Blaine in his latest special.

Theory 11 is sold out: http://theory11.com/tricks/exile.php
But it looks like Hank Lee might have some left: http://www.hanklee.org/xcart/product.ph ... 059057b3ee

And Magic Box are getting them in to

this doesnt read like the magic doodle pen thing.In fact , id go so far as to say that the doodle pen sounds like a rip off of Bich's effect to me.

Ah well Ive ordered both now so we shall see..

To me the image in the penguin review makes it seem that this was a novelty or joke pen from Japan/China that someone realized could be used to, as dale said, rip off Bich's effect.

thats not what you get.the pen that comes with the effect is much more pen like. i think i have found out what it actually is.
