Effect

The Iarvel Post-It Pad is an electronic impression pad designed for mentalism and close-up magic. To the audience, it appears to be an ordinary Post-It note pad. A spectator can write or draw on it, and the magician can secretly capture or manipulate the information in real time. The effect is organic and deceptive, making it ideal for predictions, mind-reading, or interactive routines.

Full Details

The Iarvel Post-It Pad is a square-shaped device that fits inside a standard Post-It note pad, wallet, or deck of cards. It is 4mm thick, making it highly portable. The pen requires no charging and is powered by the pad itself through near-field communication. Unlike some competitors, the pen works instantly without needing activation.

The pad connects to apps like Mystersmith, allowing integration with tools such as Hydra and QR Genie. It can also sync with an Iarvel Watch for time-based mentalism effects. The pen cap can be posted securely on the back, eliminating awkward handling during performances.

The square shape may require slight adjustments for certain performances, but its natural appearance makes it highly convincing.

Difficulty
