How to Make a PK Sharpie

Black's Magic

(Based on 1 review)
Psychokinesis is a term that was coined in 1914 by American author-publisher Henry Holt in his book On the Cosmic Relations and was adopted by his friend, American parapsychologist J. B. Rhine in 1934 in connection with experiments Rhine was conducting at Duke University. PK, as it is often abbreviated, is the purported ability to move or influence matter with the mind by means outside the known laws of physics. It is believed to be the most powerful of all of the psychic powers.

Nearly every magician or mentalist carries a Sharpie around with them so spectators and audience members can sign cards, billets, and other items during a presentation. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to have a spectator sign something, take the pen back from them, and create the illusion that you can move the pen with nothing more than concentrated effort? There's no more need for invisible thread and your hands stay in plain view the whole time!

HOW TO MAKE A PK SHARPIE is another hit in the Black's Magic DIY Magic Series of instructional DVDs designed to entertain, educate, and empower you. With a few inexpensive electronic components, some basic tools, and a willingness to learn, host James L. Clark will walk you right through the process to make your own incredible PK Sharpie. It's time to amaze people.

This is what real magic is supposed to look like!

This is a very well produced DVD. You should have no problem understanding how to manufacture your own PK Sharpie. James walks you through every step of this process. The videography is top notch, you won't miss a thing.

Two things should be pointed out:

1. This PK sharpie is not the kind that you might ordinarily think of; one that is placed at the edge of a table and then in a few moments falls off. This PK sharpie will move on a flat table and depending on how you construct it . . can slowly spin in position.
2. James does not teach you any effects with the sharpie. This is simply an instructional DVD on how to construct one.

Personally, I would have liked to see some instructions regarding the use of this type of PK sharpie since it is different in operation to many of the other PK pens on the market. However, if you have been performing magic or mentalism for some time, you should have no problem in coming up with ideas for this tool.
