Has anyone used the heart stamp?

There are only two reviews of it on Penguin, and they are somewhat far apart.

Even that’s too expensive.

I’ve used the heart stamp. I didn’t love it. Of course it works. But the heart you draw on your own hand had to be bigger than the stamp heart to be recognizable, it takes longer to draw and if your a guy it might feel weird to do it on another guy. The stamp heart is tiny and is not alway immediately recognized as a heart. It seems like a great idea and good for duplicate performances for other people in the group etc. I was very excited to get it when it came out. Somehow it didn’t work great for me or I didn’t come up with a unique presentation. Without a special presentation for the heart the cross seems simpler.

Thanks, Xcath1. I didn't realize the issues with the heart stamp. Better to stick with the cross then.

I am almost certain that the heart stamps are only available with the fake (vastly cheaper) pens.

I ordered mine straight from MagicSmith. He has a few different stamps now. Like I said, I couldn't wait to get something other than the X but now only use the X. I think another thing is that the other stamps look so good they could only have been made by a stamp which draws attention to the method which I still can't believe I get away with. But as everyone who does this trick knows, it's hard to beat.

Yep, MagicSmith was at Magic Live last year and selling the heart stamp and a few others. However, at the time, I believe they were only available in a bundle of 4 or 5 different stamps rather than individually.
