Many of you will no doubt recall my review of John's famous Cigars and Cigarettes. For the working professional, there is nothing finer available anywhere or at any price - period. John's craftsmanship is stellar and worth every penny he charges and then some.
That said, when John informed me he had fashioned some new items and was sending them to me for review, I could hardly wait. I wasn't sure what the mail was bringing, but I knew it would be something good. ---------------------------------- Colorful Pencil by John Rogers --------------oOo---------------- Description: The Colorful Pencil is visual magic at its finest! Yes it only does one thing, but it does it so well! Watch the video and see if you don't agree that it is stunning magic. The gimmick does the work for you! The pencil goes from red to yellow and back to red again with no get ready! The pencil is 7 inches long. Solid Wood And Paint and is totally Hand Crafted. Skill level is rated as easy. --------------------------------- Okay Steve, it's a color changing pencil, so what's the big deal? Plenty says I. For some of us, the idea of using a Hotrod just doesn't fit our performing style and bringing out the classic color changing knife may not always be appropriate, especially while doing a school or church program or even a library gig. But an innocent pencil? This thing rocks and is so easy to use that even a klutz will have no trouble making the magic happen. But the best part is that it is extremely visual. One second the pencil is yellow, a quick shake and it becomes bright red. If you can execute a paddle move, you can do the trick. In addition, the pencil can be easily adapted to many color changing knife bits you may already know, so the possibilities are really pretty varied. The pencil you receive is made from real wood, hand painted and designed to probably out last the purchaser. John also was clever enough to fashion the pencil in such a way that the handling could not be any smoother. In addition to the pencil you also receive a sheet of basic instructions and John strongly encourages you to develope your own routine. I like. My rating: Suggested retail is: $39.95 ---------------------------------- Jumpy Pencil by John Rogers --------------oOo---------------- Description: This item was designed for those people who like the magic they saw with the Diablo Cigar and the Dual Ciggy, but wanted an item that youngsters would relate to. The Jumpy Pencil will do anything the Diablo Cigar or Outsmokin will do! Great fun with a pencil instead of a cigar and cigarette! Watch the video! The gimmick does the work for you! The eraser and metal holder are not real, they are really solid wood and paint. The pencil is 7 inches long - Solid Wood And Paint and is totally Hand Crafted. Skill level is rated as easy. --------------------------------- Another paddle type effect, only instead of the pencil changing color, the eraser visually jumps from end to end. This looks very believable, even just inches away. The magic is quick, visual and very strong. This could easily be used as a follow up to the Colorful Pencil. Again, you receive a sheet of simple instructions along with the hand crafted pencil. A quality piece of magic that you will be using for years to come. I think this is something that many people will pass by, and that's good for the rest of us who recognize the magical value. Recommended. My rating: Suggested retail is: $39.95 ---------------------------------- Fully Leaded ( short) Pencil by John Rogers --------------oOo---------------- Description: The Fully Leaded Pencil is essentially the same effect as the Colorful Pencil, only shorter! Yes it only does one thing, but it does it so well! Watch the video and see if you don't agree that it is stunning magic. The gimmick does the work for you! The pencil goes from red to yellow and back to red again with no get ready! The pencil is 3.5 inches long. Solid Wood And Paint and is totally Hand Crafted. Skill level is rated as easy. -------------------------------- The effect is identical to the Colorful Pencil, but the length has been reduced to only 3.5 inches. Because the pencil is so short, it allows the performer to execute a variety of moves that would be impossible or extremely difficult to do with a standard 7 inch long version. Again, handmade and looks like the real article, right down to the pointy lead on the end. Amazing. No routine, but you do receive a sheet of basic instructions. I wish I would of had one of these when I was a school boy! Recommended. My rating: Suggested retail is: $39.95 --------------------------------- You can contact John Rogers 24/7 at: johnrogers@woodencigars.com You can order using a check or money order and when on the web, John even accepts PayPal payments!
