Just before leaving Boston I had the opportunity to watch Jesse demonstrate CigaPen for me. Afterwards, Jesse generously gave me one to play with on the flight back to California. However, due to all the heavy handed security at the airport, I patiently waited until my return home to open the package. That was a few weeks ago, and since then I have had the time to play with this a bit. I offer a few thoughts on the matter below - enjoy.
CigaPen by Jesse Feinberg -----------------oOo----------------- Description: Take a cigarette out of the pack and show it to the spectators. Hold the cigarette at your fingertips and, in the blink of an eye, the cigarette changes into a normal Bic pen! The change is so fast, the audience will be left breathless! Of course, you can show the pen all around, because it is a real pen! Cigapen is easy to do, because the special pen does 99% of the work! No pulls. No body work. Do it in short sleeves! Only the one pen is used. You can work Cigapen into an anti-smoking presentation. The cigarette changes into a pen because you have "signed off" on smoking! You are going to love this one ------------------------------------------ As with Jesse's second product release; CashCard, Cigapen is an extremely visual piece of magic. Infact, you'll have fun fooling yourself in the mirror, I know I did. In addition to the Bic pen, you receive three pages of typed written instructions which include photographs to help you learn to contruct and use a very clever prop. The package that Jesse gave me had the prop already put together, so perhaps he has decided to include a ready made gimmick since the initial release? Even if that's not the case, preparing the gimmick is not that difficult, though you will need to hunt down a few select items. Don't panic - everything you need is easily obtainable, so no worries there. Now, once you finishing making the prop, you are ready to learn the actual mechanics of the trick. While not extremely difficult to learn, you will still need to spend a few hours getting the feel of all the little touches that make this trick look so good. The illusion of a cigarette changing into a pen is excellent, and will no doubt fool all who watch you perform this little miracle. If you are a smoker, you'll have a visual quickie that is ready to use at anytime you so desire. Don't smoke you say? No problem. Like the ad copy above suggests, one could easily adapt this trick to fit any anti-smoking demonstration you might care to present - the choice is yours. The manual is written well, the effect ceratinly looks good and the price is very reasonable. All you need do is put together the proper presentation. Certainly worth your consideration. ------------------------------------------ My rating: Suggested retail is: $19.95 ----------------------------------------- CigaPen can be ordered directly from Hank Lee's Magic Factory You can contact them at: MagicFact@aol.com Visit Hank Lee's website to order direct: Hank Lee's Magic Factory Hank Lee's Magic Factory P.O.BOX 789 MEDFORD, MA. 02155 U.S.A.
