Spectrum Sharpie by Craig Petty and TCC - Magic Review
Sebastian reviews the Spectrum Sharpie by Craig Petty and TCC, a color-changing Sharpie routine that offers a modern twist on the classic color-changing knife routine. He praises its practicality, visual appeal, and suitability for close-up performances, highlighting the routine's organic feel and the fact that it uses Sharpies, a magician's everyday tool. The review covers the routine's high visual impact, the included one-hour tutorial by Craig Petty, and the three Sharpies provided (one gimmicked and two standard). Sebastian notes the routine's accessibility to most magicians, its near 360-degree angle-proof nature, instant reset, and the practicality of pocket management. However, he points out the main drawback: the pens aren't examinable post-performance. Despite this, he rates the Spectrum Sharpie an 8.5/10, recommending it as a fun, low-effort addition for close-up magicians who already carry Sharpies.
