You people who say your sharpies run dry are nutz!!! I was trying to set up a magazine prediction (you can see it on false-cuts.com) and I left 4 sharpies uncapped on my windowsill, with the window open, for 2 months, and they still worked. I couldn't dry them at all!! (since then I learned that a drop of superglue does the trick). The silver and gold however...those lasted about 2 days.

I use a blue sharpie with a red cap, or a red sharpie with a blue cap.

I've found that the two most selected colors are red, and blue.

I think you can figure out the rest. If you can't, do a search, I have a thread about it somewhere.

I use humor when I mention a magic marker.

I use and only use a sharpie.

I carry two Sharpies, a red and a black.
When a red-faced card is selected I use the black Sharpie.
When a black-faced card is selected I use a red Sharpie.

I use what most Magicians use: a black colored Sharpie. Black colored Sharpies are almost considered to be an essential accessory for Magician's. Sharpies are used in magic for signatures, marking items, writing with, misdirection, wands, etc.

Recap 'em right away and store them tip down.

I use sharpie, because they're really high qual, they dry quickly, and their ink is can be removed with a light rub of nail polish remover (from coins and other glossy surfaces, not cards)

Does anyone know of a pen that can be wiped off the cards after you do your trick or the next day?

Thanks,

I've seen a lot of colors mentioned about, but no one ever mentioned blue. Has anyone used a BLUE sharpie? It seems good to me since it shows up on both back and red cards. Green should also work fine. I personally use blue and keep the green one from the pack as a backup in case the blue one runs out of ink.

Regards,
Don

I'm still trying to find a marker that will work with Richard Sander's ingenious bill to cap.

I use a Shar-Pei ... A Chinese Dog Pen.



Thanks Simon Lovell for that line......
