 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 the Vanishing Pen from Sans' Minds. What is it? It's a disappearing pen trick. You take a pen, standard disposable pen, and just make it vanish in front of your spectator space. You want to see what it looks like? This is it. Watch. Watch. Wait, look. I hate things like this. Hey guys, this is Tash from Sans' Minds Magic bringing you the Vanishing Pen. It's easy to do pocket miracles that use the most commonly seen object on the planet. A pen. The best part about this trick is that you can just keep it in your pocket and you'll be ready to amaze. Perform it surrounded and right out of the box. I always keep it in my pocket. Quality only from Sans' Minds Magic. So get it from your favorite store worldwide. Oh yeah, and the pen writes too. All right, so like I said, this is published from Sans' Minds. The teacher on this DVD is Will Sy. What I liked about it, I used to have the old one. You remember the old one? The logo rubbed off. It got dirty over time. The cap didn't fit. And this one is a huge, massive improvement. This one writes, which is really cool, and they say it doesn't wrinkle. And if you order it from Penguin, you can see Rick Wax do some of his super cool ideas for the pen that I think are a really cool extra. All right, so a couple of questions we always ask about all of our Magic Reviews. The first of which is what's in the box? What's in the box? You're going to get the DVD. It's nine minutes long and you're going to get the gimmick and you're going to get a real pen that matches the gimmick and both of them write. Is it what I thought? Absolutely. Like I said, I used to have the old one. So I knew exactly what I was getting, but I was very impressed with this gimmick. How are the angles on this? 100%. 100%. There's no angle issues. You could do this over and over and over again and people will never catch on. Can it be inspected? Not the gimmick. The gimmick can't be inspected. They'd figure it out pretty fast to get kind of the gimmick out, but you can certainly hand out the duplicate and it looks and writes just like a real pen because it is a real pen. All right, so what's the overall quality and production value of the DVD? Just like everything done from Sam's mind, it's beautiful. It's got really great HD shots, multiple angles, Will's size is a great teacher and they definitely could do everything you need to know. All right, so is it well made? This is the gimmick right here. So you can see what it looks like nice and close. Like I said, it looks just like a real pen, writes like a real pen and they say it won't wrinkle or get dirty like the old one. How much practice does it require? Zero. You watch the explanation once and you'll be able to do it right away just like a pro. How much setup and reset is there? Zero. All right, so what are some of the positives to the Vanishing Pen? Just like I've been saying repeatedly, it's just a much better overall improvement from the old one that you used to have when you were a Wii magician. So if you still have that one, if it's collecting dust to the bottom of a drawer, I would highly recommend that you pull it out and see if it's worth keeping and if not, it's still a trick you'd like to do. I think you should pick up Vanishing Pen from Sam's minds. All right, so what are the negatives? You know, like we say around here, there's negatives to every magic trick. These are just the ones I see. They don't have to be the ones that you see. The first of which is I almost thought I was getting a black pen, but it's actually a black in my picture and it's just done at a weird angle with a weird shadow. So you're not getting a black pen. You're getting the white and blue pen like I showed you. Also, the two pens, they don't look identical. They did that on purpose. They said they said they did it on purpose so that you could distinguish the gimmick from the other. But just so you know, it's just going to depend on your lighting. Nobody's going to catch it. Okay, nobody's going to catch it. There's no heat on it at all. I'm just telling you up front, the two pens won't look identical. All right, so is it worth your money? It's $30. $30 for the single gimmick and your nine minute DVD. So it's a bit on the high end, it is, but this gimmick's going to last you a really long time. You're going to get a ton of mileage out of it and it was a trick I used to have when I was younger. I wanted to get it again because I always liked it and so I am happy with it and so I was glad to pay the $30 and I think it's well worth it. All right, so who would like this? Anybody who does walk around, anyone who does street, like I said before, anyone who used to have this or still has the old gimmick, but wants to replace it, you should head on down to pingwinmagic.com and check out the vanishing pen from Sans Mines.
