Product description : When I review something from Nick Einhorn, I always expect something very well thought, well finished and something that can and will use. Guess what ? This is no exception ! Well, the little exception here is that it's not actually Nick's effect but an effect by Antonio Romero, Nick just added some features and routines. Anyway, this is a killer routine with killer material, let's go !
Price and where to buy it : This is sold at $69.95 and you can get from any partner of Murphy's Magic !
What you get : You get a small little box, very good looking box, with inside 2 markers, one of them is a regular one so you can use during the course of your routine. The other is a gimmicked one, a very clever gimmick but it looks and feels like the regular marker. It will allow you to load the marker very very easily and in one motion but still, people can examine it ! The quality of the package is amazing and the explanations are, as usual with Nick, very good and easy to follow.
The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end.
THE CONS :
The price is a little step but when you see the quality of the whole thing, the time they took to engineer the gimmick, I don't think it's overpriced.
Loading in one and smooth action will be difficult at first and will require you to practice, which is a good thing.
The markers are not sharpie ones, which is the brand mostly used by magicians.
THE PROS :
The quality of the gimmick, I can't repeat it enough but I was amaze when I received my parcel because of how good the gimmick looked ! It's hard to tell the difference between the 2 markers.
When you get used to it, loading the object inside the marker will take less than 2 seconds, it's smooth and can be done with jacket or without. So you have no excuse for not performing this everywhere you go !
The object you load don't have to be a bill, it can be a rolled card, maybe a signed paper, your imagination is the only limit for that.
The reset is super fast and very clever, I love it. You don't need any other prop than the marker, it's all built in and I like it a lot.
It's a worker routine, you know Antonio and Nick have been putting a lot of efforts and time into this, it will work and it will get you great reactions !
Overall rating : Didn't think I would like this that much but hey, it's a worker. 4/4 hearts for me.
As for the difficulty level, nothing hard, maybe a shuttle pass to help the bill disappear but that's nearly all, 2/5 stars.
Similar products : There are several tricks which use a bill and make it travel to an impossible location, the main one is the bill tube but I think that the marker is a better version and a more modern one.
