Tattoo Joe

[William Draven]

I just saw this video on youtube of an effect called "Tattoo Joe".

The effect break down is as simple and straitforward of a plot as you can get.

Image, or word, anything you want appears written on your arm as you rub it. Then vanishes.

Does anyone have any experience working with this trick? Looks like it is an ellusionist thing.

Is it impromptu?

Thanks,

A small set-up is required, but unless you plan on doing this, you normally wouldn't carry the gimmick around. I haven't performed it yet, but in all honesty, I just don't like the trick overall. It's just my perference, but making the tattoo appear and dissapear will take a good amount of work. If you like it then go for it!

you need something for it that I am pretty sure you do not have (well maybe hahahaha)

It is impromtu if u have the gimmick ready to go.

I have never preformed this and proably never will, not my style

Okay so this isn't something then that you can just suddenly decide to do to someone on the street if you were in the mood to entertain.

I'm pretty sure I've got this thing figured out but then again I've been wrong before in the past. If I AM right, then I could probably go raid my wife's closet now and make it.

How awkward is the handeling getting into and out of it?

It entirely depends on what you're wearing, he teaches you to do the effect with a t-shirt and shirt so you're covered pretty much but it's kinda difficult to ditch the gimmick unless you're alone.
