I recently placed an online order at Elmwood Magic for a few items. I inadvertently added the effect "Tip Pen" to my order. I discovered it when my other effects arrived in the mail. I was curious as to what "Tip Pen" was when I saw it in the box. I got it out of its package and did the effect. All I can say is this effect hardly works. I have placed the pen repeatedly onto the top of my level bookcase, and it will only tip over when more then half of the pen extends over the edge! I do not recommend this $10 effect! It doesn't work reliably!!!

With all due respect, I think it's suppose to be that way. Banacheck's Pen is the same. I think it's got potential, but it's not for me.

This effect is spectacular to a lay audience. Just take Steve Dusheck’s advice in the instructions!

You have to play it up for sure. I have the sharpie and somtimes it takes longer than you want. You have to work with it to find the sweet spot.
