Effect

The Dynamic Sharpie is a self-contained, remote-controlled Sharpie pen that appears to move on its own. The pen can roll left or right, fall off a deck of cards, or balance precariously before dropping—all at the performer's command. The effect is clean, with no visible strings, magnets, or external gimmicks interfering with the pen's movement.

Full Details

The Dynamic Sharpie is a fully functional Sharpie pen with a hidden mechanism inside. It includes:

Remote Control: A small, ergonomic remote with buttons for left, right, and drop commands.
Magnetic Tip: The pen has a magnet embedded in the tip, making it compatible with other magnetic-based gimmicks like Cipher or ParaPad.
Auto-On Feature: The pen activates when removed from its charging clip, ensuring it doesn’t drain power unnecessarily.
Rechargeable: The pen charges via a custom holder, and the remote uses a standard button cell battery.

The pen looks and writes like a normal Sharpie, with no visible modifications. The tapered shape means it may roll in a slight arc rather than a straight line, but this doesn’t affect the illusion.

Who Should Consider the Trick

The Dynamic Sharpie is ideal for:

Mentalists & PK Performers: The self-moving pen enhances mind-reading or psychokinetic demonstrations.
Close-Up Magicians: It adds a surprising, interactive element to card or coin routines.
Tech-Savvy Magicians: Those who enjoy integrating modern technology into their performances.

Difficulty

The trick is moderate in difficulty, primarily due to the need for smooth remote handling. The mechanics are self-working, but timing and misdirection are key to making the effect convincing.

What Magicians Say

Mark Travison (Saturn Magic Shop): "I was absolutely blown away by the technology in this. The quality of the remote and the pen itself is top-notch. It’s not cheap, but for the right performer, it’s worth every penny."
Rob (Reviewer): "The auto-on feature is genius—no worrying about battery drain. The only thing to watch is the slight arc when rolling, but it’s barely noticeable in performance."

The Dynamic Sharpie is a standout piece for magicians looking to add a modern, tech-driven effect to their repertoire. Its versatility and clean handling make it a strong choice for both casual and professional performers.
