Very good point NMS, although I don't think I'd ever do Pointless after Tarantula LOL. I'm looking to purchase a Pointless now, if it is indeed examinable which I hear it is.

It's definitely examinable. I've been trying to think of a way to show all of the pen at the beginning, but I haven't played enough with the handling lately. You can hand out the pen at the end with no worries.

Yup, it is better if using the pen at the begining. like to sign the card, or may be an effect using this pen as a writing tools (prediction,center tear, etc.) ...
after all of above, the final is use the pen as an effect of his own/pointless ... that can make strong impression, because the pen is use before, it's look normal pen ... |

Pens are often used as make shift wands. Wouldn't that be a nice way to have the Pointless introduced in a casual manner?

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we are creative just a little the pen should not be suspect. Use it as a wand, put it away, bring it out again to sign a card, prediction, etc., put it away again or use it to do the pointless routine(short version I agree). Just my thoughts : ) |

I like it as an opener. It's something quick, they can inspect the pen at the end and while they're doing that you can ring in your next trick.

This is a wonderful walk-around opener that gets surprisingly good reactions. I love Gregory Wilson's thinking on this one. His commercial releases are IMO "money". Buy this- you won't be dissapointed.

I agree with Jared, this thing is GOLD. Follow it up with RECAP and your strolling gig just got a lot easier, more visual, and fun. Additional thought: When finished put the pen behind your ear in full view,go on about your act,borrow a bill make it vanish and reappear inside of the pen for a great closer. Figure out your own method or contact Dan Harlan for details. Perfect routining.

What about noise.
Settings where I would perform this would be relatively quiet, and so if working the works makes any sort of clicking noises (which, I am sure would be fairly quiet), I may think twice about picking it up. Technique and practice can cover a lot - just curious if anyone would have any reservations about using this in a quiet environment. That said, even if there is noise I may pick it up, anyway and just wait for the proper moment.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Wow, didn't think this would pop back up. I still like this effect. There is no noise that has ever been noticed. What little there may be is easily covered. Lots of fun when people keep telling you it's a fake pen and you can hand them the pen and have them write with it.

One can definately perform this in a quiet environment. I use this at all my close-up/strolling gigs and the gimmick can be easily managed to make no sound. If your on the fence on this- the reactions by the spec are very very good with this. For the price this is really good. Not to mention it's a prop that will last a long long time!
