"We humans have a long history of using writing instruments to record and transfer our thoughts and impressions.We magicians have a long history of gimmicking writing instruments to deceive thoughts and create magical impressions".This book is a combination Do-It-Yourself and Magic Effects book, containing 9 major DIY projects and 7 full working routines, plus a host of other tricks. Learn how to make 3 types of flash pens, a flameless, smoke loading pen, a PSI pen, multiple- purpose pens, novel uses of off-the-shelf pens and mentalist utility pens. No knowledge of electronics needed --- just the proper know-how.Each low cost project is followed with a corresponding chapter on how to use your gimmick pen in a true, tried, and tested magic effect.This book is jammed packed with over 150 color photos, 13 detailed illustrations, numerous diagrams, 11 instructional video links and up- to-date listed sources for materials.Why pay $150 dollars for a PSI pen when you can make your own for less than $8.00? Or make a durable flash pen for under $10, or a non-flame, smoke pen for $20? Most of the book's gimmicked pen projects can be made in 30 minutes or less with house-hold materials and at a fraction of the retail cost. If each of the pens and effects in this book were sold separately at market value, the total price would exceed $900!CONTENTS:IntroductionChapter 1: DIY: Sure-Lite Flash Pen Chapter 2: DIY: Recessed Flash PenChapter 3: DIY: EZ #3 Flash PenChapter 4: DIY: Misty Smoke PenChapter 5: Effect: Misty Burnt CardChapter 6: DIY: Multi-Utility PenChapter 7: Effect: Sparkle, Jell-O, Snow, Wine & Space-TimeChapter 8: DYI: Chameleon PensChapter 9: Effect: InterferenceChapter 10: Science Fiction with FrixionChapter 11: Effect: Phoenix AngelsChapter 12: Zig PenChapter 13: Effect: Flushed QueenChapter 14: DYI: The Re-light-able Match Chapter 15: RM Effects Chapter 16: DIY: Magnetic Pen & Reed SwitchChapter 17: DIY: PSI Capsule MarkerChapter 18: Ash PenChapter 19: Effect: Angel Dream CatcherChapter 20: Pen PatterList of Mimesis Instructional Video Links
