Main effect:

Channel the essence of true mind-reading as you flawlessly reproduce drawings made by your subjects, without ever catching a direct glimpse of their work. With our meticulously crafted peak method (by Phill Smith), you’ll astound audiences with your unparalleled ability to mirror their thoughts onto paper.

…but that’s not all. Prepare for gasps of disbelief when, as a mind-blowing climax, you reveal that the very object they’ve drawn is also inscribed on the barcode of the pen – a pen that the spectator has held in their hands the entire time. This unexpected twist adds layers of astonishment, leaving audiences both baffled and amazed.

But there’s even more:

In addition to the drawing duplication, this kit contains at least 7 other routines, including a routine with ESP symbols, names/persons, cards, and a magic square. Beyond the 8 included routines, you can create a vast number of your own routines around them.

You’ll receive:

  • 5 blanco markers;
  • 20 specially designed prediction stickers, for (at least) 8 different routines;
    Drawing Duplication: Stunning and baffling reveals.
    ESP Symbols: All traditional ESP symbols, laying the foundation for profound psychic demonstrations.
    Celebrity Names: Michael Jackson and Tom Hanks.
    Red Hammer: Craft the ultimate narrative for the famed ‘Red Hammer’ force.
    Number 37: Specifically for the number 37 force.
    Magic Square: A specialized sticker allowing for instant magic square presentations or number forces.
    Card Reveals: Stickers for the Queen of Hearts and Ace of Spades, ideal for thought-of-card effects. But that’s not all – a phenomenal routine with a multi-card selection is also included, amplifying the versatility of these stickers.
    The Creative Sticker: Vast in potential with numerous reveals, from book tests to object identifications.
  • Over 2 hours of instructions. Dive deep into the intricacies of mentalism with our step-by-step guide. Understand the nuances of the peak method, ensuring you master the art of drawing duplication.
  • Routines by Paul Brook, Phill Smith, Sven Bosch and Patrick Jason.

All items in the kit are designed with the highest standards of quality, ensuring smooth performances every time.

Jheff's Guide

WHAT IT IS:
A routine involving a Sharpie pen. It includes some blank pens and labels to get you started.

HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
What’s written is accurate as to the routine, but there are elements not mentioned which are serious considerations.

SET-UP AND RE-SET:
It’s just a matter of returning the marker and making sure your pocket space is arranged accordingly. There is also a one-time setup as you do not place the labels on the markers.

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
The package provides only five blank Sharpie pens when the main drawing duplication routine, as described and explained in the instructional videos, requires six or seven. You’ll either need a second package or use regular Sharpies. Either way you’ll need to obtain extra items to perform the main routine. Also, there is only one sheet of labels included which will make it costly to replace when you’ll need to (unless you’re going with making it yourself). There is no downloadable template, perhaps one that can be customized to your own language, available at the time of this writing. And there should be.

SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlour, Stage, Walkaround, Internet

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This Paul Brook effect and this re-imagining of it are very good. But the packaging is disappointing. The ad copy is quite accurate as to what this strong routine by Paul Brook is. Though it does require some pocket space and it is not 100% surefire, which could be a dealbreaker for some, my main considerations are the number of blank sharpies included being fewer than the main drawing duplication routine calls for and the one sheet of labels, which I discussed above. Because you can’t do the main routine as described right out of the box (though you can do a variation of it), and for the other reasons cited above, I cannot enthusiastically recommend this and I hope that the creators of this product take note and make changes so that I will change my opinion of this.
