Full details

The trick utilizes a pen with two nibs: a standard black ink nib and a special magical ink nib. Writing on thermal paper with the magical ink and then heating it reveals a hidden image or message.

This trick is suitable for magicians of all levels who enjoy Christmas-themed effects or those looking for a versatile prop with multiple uses. Its portability and ease of use make it ideal for close-up and parlor performances. Magicians who appreciate utility props and creative writing effects will find this appealing.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The trick appears to be relatively easy to perform, requiring minimal sleight of hand. The main skill involves understanding how to use the pen and thermal paper to achieve the desired visual effect. The pen itself is easy to handle, and the writing process is straightforward.
