Magic Review - The Gifted Pen by Joshua Kaufman

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of "The Gifted Pen" by Joshua Kaufman, a pen-through-bill effect from baconmagic.shop. He received a review copy from Xavier Spade, whom he encourages viewers to explore. The review focuses on the product's components and performance potential rather than a demonstration. The package includes two sets of pens (blue and black) and gimmicks, with the crucial detail being that the pens themselves are standard and readily available, allowing for impromptu performances and easy replacement. David highlights the effect's core appeal: the ability to perform a pen-through-bill with borrowed items, followed by handing everything for examination. While the gimmick is a variation on the classic "Big Pen Through Bill" effect, David believes performers familiar with that handling will adapt quickly. He praises the inspectability and the inclusion of extra pens, a thoughtful touch. The main potential drawback is a slight adjustment period for those already familiar with the classic handling. Ultimately, David recommends "The Gifted Pen" at $25 for its versatility, impromptu nature, and examinability, making it ideal for walk-around, street magic, and impromptu performances. He also promotes his other channel, The Magic Channel Card Tricks, for beginner magic lessons.
