 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a Magic Review. Hey, today we're going to look at this stealth pen from Penguin Magic. What is the stealth pen? It's the old pen stabbing through a dollar bill routine. You just take a pen and you can borrow a bill and you just throw the pen right through the dollar bill. You pull it back out and it's completely unscathed. That's right, unscathed. You want to see it? This is it. This is like a game of darts. Are you ready? Yeah. It's kind of a good bill. It's not too crisp. Watch what I'm going to do to this. Right here, right in the middle, that's what I want to do with a dollar. If you were doing real math, if this was a hundred, this is not some sort of trick or fake illusion. This is real. In fact, listen to this. This is the good part. You ready? Watch. Listen. Oh. How you do that? I'm Rose Perlman and this is the stealth pen. Who would have thought you could get so much mileage and such huge reactions out of an innocent everyday looking object? I mean, a pen. That's all it is. This is all you've got. Carry this with you anywhere. You can put one in the car, one in the office, one in the home. You're always ready to go. Guaranteed reactions. Listen. Oh. It's okay. It's okay. I'm a professional here. Watch. Restored. All right. So this is being put out from Penguin Magic and the teachers on this are Oz Perlman and Rick Lax. What I liked about it, I had the old one. I had the old cheap pen through build. It was called the Magic Mystery Pen. It was released from Magic Makers and it didn't look real. So it didn't look real. Another thing I like about this is if you get the DVD version, you get two pens. Two pens. That's great. So that means you get two utilities and lose one, have one in the car, take one with you. I mean, that's great. Awesome. You get two. The entire effect is based off of John Cornelius' pen through anything. All right. So what's in the box? What's in the box? If you get the DVD, you're going to get the DVD. Okay. You're also going to get a download with Rick Lax. And the DVD is an hour and 11 minutes. The download is about eight minutes. And like I said earlier, you're going to get two utilities. Is it what I thought? Absolutely. Like I said, I used to have this a long time ago when I was a Wii magician when I was younger. But that's fine. It's what I wanted. So yeah, it's what I thought. How are the angles on this? They're pretty darn near perfect, but it depends on how you do the routine. So in some routines, you really couldn't have anyone behind you. In some routines, you can't have anybody underneath you. I mean, it's like that. So it's just you knowing the effect and knowing how to do audience management. Can it be inspected? Absolutely. You can inspect the pen and it even writes. All right. So what's the overall quality and production value of the DVD? The DVD itself with Oz Perlman, it was shot back in 2009. Still looks timeless. And if you know Oz Perlman's teaching, you know what a great teacher he is. He's giving you lots of tricks, lots of tips, lots of advice. It's all shot well. You got live performances, great studio performances, awesome all around. Rick Lax, of course, is pretty much the newer version of Oz Perlman. And he's in this coffee shop like normal and he gives you some really good handlings that I would highly recommend. All right. So is it well made? It's absolutely well made. It looks real. It really writes. But it looks so much more like a real pen, I think the old one I used to have. It didn't look like a real pen. This one looks like a real pen. You can easily go and find another black pen like this. All right. So how much practice does it require? It does take some practice. It's all based on timing. There's some angle timing issues, but I think a couple times in front of the mirror until you really get the gist of it and you'll have it down. All right. So how much setup and reset is there? Zero, none, nada. Stick it in your pocket and you're good to go. All right. So what are the positives for this? The positives for this are it's easy to do. It looks amazing. It's the perfect trick to have with you all the time. You just have the pen with you. You can borrow a bill. You can borrow anybody's bill. The bill can be signed. You can do anything like that you want. Like I said, great trick. All right. So what are the negatives for this? Disadvantages for this. Like I say around here, there's negatives to everything. So these are just the negatives that I see. They don't have to be the negatives that you see. Anyone who knows how to do this trick already, you know that the utility relies on a hidden force. A hidden power. And sometimes that hidden force can be a little unpredictable. So that's just the only negative that I would say. All right. So is it worth your money? There's a couple of different ways you can get this. I got mine from PingWinMagic.com. I would recommend that you do too. PingWinMagic sells this a couple of different ways. The first way is you can get it as just the pen. So if you buy the pen only, you can get a single pen for nine bucks. You'll get the Rick Lacks video. So you'll only get the Rick Lacks video. So you're pretty much just getting the one handling. But great price and really well worth it. I got this for 25. The DVD is $25 and it comes with two pens. Also great price. Highly recommended. All right. So who would like this? Anybody who does close-up, anybody who just walk around, anyone who does street magic, anyone who doesn't already own this. You want this one. All right. This is the one you want. This is great to perform for kids. This is great to perform for adults. All right. So that is the Stuff Pen from PingWinMagic.
