Trick Sharpie Ideas

[limpbiz2789]

Hey Guys,
For those of you who own the trick sharpie, I wanted to know some examples of how you go about using this effect. Everyone's style of magic is different and I would love to hear various stories. I saw not too many threads have been started based on this effect, or haven't been created in some time so I thought I'd resurface this one. I recently just ordered one and have been thinking how I could go about this one.

Here's 1 technique I thought of so far:
• Force the six of clubs in which ever way your comfortable with
• Have that spectator sign the card using the sharpie
• Do a simple ACR routine, making that signed card the first card
• Use the erdanse change to "wipe" the card clean showing nothing but a blank card
• Then explain to the spectator that before you even started this effect you had a prediction that they would choose this card
• As your talking, wave the sharpie then wipe the sharpies text as well making the spectator believe you changed the logo

For those of you who are afraid of purchasing the effect because it will dry up over time, this will not stop you from performing with it. If drying up is the case you can always use a simple switch (i.e. leaving the sharpie in your pocket rather then on the table)

Looking forward to hearing other techniques
Hoped you liked my idea

Thanks
-Sean

i dunno, its not a terrible revelation just not overly flexible. I love utilizing sharpies in a variety of ways. i did an art project where i repurposed about 2 dozen or so, replacing the tips with a variety of things including screwdrivers, flashlights, USB drives, etc. I then used the sharpies i had left to create about a dozen or so sharpie gimmicks for a variety of tricks. Just be creative. But on your topic, i had one of those that a friend gave to me because it had run out of ink, i opened it up and would load a 6 of clubs into the sharpie body. I would then utilize that as an initial climax then the sharpie as a secondary one. My personal favorite is to force the card, either mentally or actually.(preferably mentally as it KILLS) Have them write their name on it or the card on a piece of paper. When the sharpie doesn't work i have them take it apart, BAM card in the sharpie, then... BAM card ON THE Sharpie. thats just me thought
