friction pen ideas

[Boomer Scripps]

Hi, I really like to friction pens and was wondering if anyone has some ideas to use them for ? besides a prediction changing to the correct card

for those of you who don't know what a friction pen is, it's is like a normal pen, but the ink is heat reactive, so it disappears when heated up.

Idea...

A particularity about the Frixion pen that some don't know, is that if you write, then make the ink vanish with heat, you can put it in the fridge or freezer and the ink will reapear...

I really enjoy the reactions from using this idea.

Oz Pearlman has a really nice idea on his Penguin Lecture on corporate magic. Based on the alphabet.

You could draw a stick man holding a card (say 8 of spades) and once you add the heat the reveal card changed to their card (say 3 of clubs).

You can reveal names, dates, or other personal information. For instance if you could get a glimpse of someones phone passcode #, you could alter it into a different number on your paper. Choose your method of presentation to guess their passcode and get it wrong. Then alter it with fire to reveal the correct one.

Just two thoughts.
