Hi all!
This might be the daftest question ever, but I often do the "sharpie up the nose" gag when performing. It looks pretty decent but I'd like get it really good.
Are there any good sharpie-effects videos out there that not only covers this but similar gags?

Kind regards:)

It is easy enough to manipulate it as if it were a Flip Stick.

Check out the 'Marvelous Pencyclopedia' by Tom Crosbie with Matthew Wright. I'm pretty sure Matthew teaches it as a bonus.
Its a great resource.

Ahh! Sounds perfect! Thank you!

A couple of years ago somebody made a sharpie you could "draw" on somebody's shirt and it would immediately disappear. Can't remember product name. You would have swap it out as its gimmicked and cannot mark with it. But looked like fun little throwaway effect

Imgc, I bet you're thinking of Sharp This, by David Bonfadini. Michael O'Brien has an excellent review of it:

Montana, if you want some additional Sharpie (and other kinds of pen) ideas, you might check out this thread, too-- lots of great suggestions there:

I have a great handling for this in my book. Gives the old standard a facelift. www.SleightlyDelusional.com

Make the cap into a pull with a small fish eye screw and elastic...

Great idea Thomas!
