A powerful tool from Pop Haydn and School for Scoundrels. "Sharper Pens" is a must-have accessory for anyone performing The Shell Game.

One pen operates as a secret pea dispenser that hold up to five peas and secretly deliver them to your hand one at a time. Just simply use the pen as a pointer. As you point to the shells and ask "Do you want want shell number one, two or three?", the pen is shifted from one hand to another. During this discreet movement, the pea is easily removed from the opening at the top of the pen and hidden in the hand. This is super useful for ringing in a second pea, or to restore a pea when one has to be dropped into the pocket or on the floor. It is also easy to dump a pea into the breast pocket while removing the pen from or putting it back into the pocket.

The second pen actually writes and can be held by the spectator. You can give it to them to point to the shell they want - "Nobody touches the shells." In the base of the pen is a powerful magnet. It can be used in a number of ways with the "Magnetic Perfect Peas" (included). Holding the pen in writing position, one can pick up any shell that contains a pea, and the pea will stick to the inside of the shell because of the pen's magnet that is touching the top of the back of the shell. The shell can be replaced to the table and the pea left under it, or the pea can be stolen as the shell is put down. This method can even be used to place a "loaded" shell in the spectator's hand, while a second pea is made to disappear under one of the remaining two shells.

Although I will have no problem developing my use for these ingenious stealthy props, there doesn't appear to be a video included for those who would enjoy some tips, tricks, humor and lines that could be utilized. Maybe, Pop will chime in on the subject.

I got mine from a convention years ago and mine also came with hard plastic peas that look exactly like the rubber peas... cool little gimmick, but I havent found a use for it yet...
