Overview

Stone Frixion Fire by Jeff Stone can also be called Everything You Wanted to Know about Frixion Pens in Magic but Was Afraid to Ask. In his own immutable style, Jeff Stone offers up no less than 20 effects and ideas using the Pilot Frixion Pen.

Effect

If you weren’t around when the Frixion pen was released by the Pilot Pen Company, you would have missed the waves of excitement in the magic community it generated. The ink in the Frixion erases with heat. The eraser incased in the pen was used to generate the heat. Some clever magician discovered that the heat from a lighter or flash paper was enough to make the ink disappear. Since this discovery, several magicians came up with routines which took advantage of this phenomenon. Jeff Stone offers 17 routines on this DVD. I’m sure there are a few that would suit anyone’s style of performance.

Method

As alluded to before, the method utilizes to peculiar characteristics of the Frixion pen. By incorporating a heat source, whether it be a lighter or flash paper, numerous effects can be built on this. For the most part, predictions tend to dominate but once you know the methods, it shouldn’t be too hard to come up with several ideas of your own.

Product Quality

The 1 hour and 30 minute DVD offers a “no frills” presentation. In the first section all the effects are performed. The second section reviews the history of the effect as well as other creators works utilizing the Frixion pen. The last section encompasses all the explanations. The camera is a straight shot from a tripod and Jeff Stone is aided by a couple of friends who are the stand in spectators. The filming and performing is done in a casual style but the video is very clear and the lighting and sound are excellent. The set is not fancy but there is no filler or wasted time which I like. Also included is a link to a website where additional ideas are offered as well as the PDF of the book on which this DVD is based.

Ad Copy Integrity

The ad copy is accurate and with the DVD, PDF and additional ideas this is a great value for someone who is looking for something that is easy to do, is not performed by everyone and will still probably fool your magic friends.

You don’t have to be a pyro to love this DVD. But let’s be honest, Magic + Fire = Awesomeness. The Stone Frixion Fire project possesses a great degree of Awesomeness. Years back I was introduced to the Frixion pen and loved it, but as things go, they ended up in a drawer. Now, after watching this DVD (and reading the accompanying downloadable PDF e-book), I am now using it again with renewed vigor. The Frixion pen is magically astounding consumer product that can be used for fantastic magical effects.

When I first started playing with the Frixion pen, I basically asked the spectator to pick a card, say the 7 of Spades, as they held a prediction written on a folded piece of paper. Then when I located their card, it turns out I made a mistake. I then check the prediction and it matched the wrong card. But after flicking a lighter both the card and the written prediction change to match the spectator’s chosen card. That effect is not taught on the DVD, but many others are, and there are some great ones. Some of my favorite effects taught are Burnin’ Time (a time travel effect in which you restore burned matches), You Won’t Believe Your Eyes (an update to an Anneman effect), Droppin’ The Bomb (plucking a Rubik’s cube out of a piece of paper) and In Flames (changing a written word into a selected card).

With the DVD you get access to a password protected website with some additional idea. It was last updated just a few days ago (October 18, 2015) with an idea from fellow official reviewer, Doc Johnson. The website has some additional ideas, but not much. You also get the predecessor book, Stone Frixion Fire, in PDF format. The E-book explains the tricks and has a ton of information and great ideas.

On the DVD Jeff gives the history of the effects, including a shout out to Liam Montier from Big Blind Media for inspiring this project (published in Reel Magic Magazine). The tricks are performed one after another with either Diamond Jim Davis or Dan Paulus (check out his excellent DVD Blind Luck). I usually prefer to have the explanation track directly follow the performance track, but this DVD is an exception. Once you know the basic method here, you do not necessarily need to see the explanations immediately since you pretty much know how to do the tricks. What is important here are the creative compilation of ideas.

Jeff also teaches you how to gimmick regular pen and not only heat, but also coldness — something that I confess to not knowing for years. I picked up a great deal from this DVD. All of the routines are easy to set up and perform and all require fire. Flash paper is a must, but not a necessity. This is great for beginners, but children should be supervised and not be given flash paper.

The DVD is humorous and made me laugh during the introduction, the outtakes and at various points during the DVD. This contains perhaps the best SPAM cameo of all Jeff’s DVD’s that I have studied.

This DVD also teaches clever ways to use your business card and get your spectator to bring it home for a secret effect to be revealed once they are home. I also immensely enjoyed the “roundtable” conversation with Jeff, Davis and Paulus in which a great brainstorming session is shared.

The DVD is produced against a brick wall backdrop and has great production quality. The ad-copy and the promo video are 100% accurate… and you would not expect anything else from this creator. Not only is the DVD highly endorsed by Jay Sankey and Cameron Francis, but it also gets the highest rating from me!

PRO

This is a very comprehensive DVD of many applications using a frixion pen.

The DVD dives right into different effects and presentations using a frixion pen and several other props, including playing cards, flash paper, business cards, etc.

YOU WON’T BELIEVE YOUR EYES: A great card routine with a written prediction and a selected card. The prediction is missing, but it magically appears upon burning the card. His presentation is very humorous.

BURNING TIME: Spectator signs and dates a book of matches. The matchbook travels in time to before it was written on. I like the effect, but I didn’t like the idea of ruining a perfectly good book of matches, but the concept can be applied to a number of ideas.

THE HOTTEST NEW TRICK: Four borrowed coins, one of each denomination. The participant selects one of the coins. The performer reveals a prediction with all the coins revealed. He then goes on to apply heat and only the selected coin remains.

RUBIK’S CUBIN’: A fun time travel that starts with asking a performer to reminisce back to the 1980’s. The participant is asked what memories the 1980’s brings to mind. The performer then says that his fondest memory of the 1980s is the Rubik’s Cube. Very funny.

DROPPIN THE BOMB: Another version of the self-solving Rubik’s cube. In this version, a cube drawing disappears from the paper and a real one appears. There are some excellent Rubik Cube DVDs available. This would be a great intro to another Rubik’s cube effect.

MONEY TO BURN: This is an excellent routine where the participant selects on of three coins drawn on a card. A piece of paper is placed on the card and lit on fire. The drawing the their selected coin disappears, but in it’s place is a real coin. This is a SUPER STRONG piece of magic.

CORNERED: A nice effect ending in the disappearance of a drawn corner missing from a card and the corner is restored on the card.

BRING ME TO LIFE: A drawing of a rubber band disappears and turns into a real rubber band. Quite a few of the effect demonstrate various ways you can make a drawing of something disappear and have the actual item appear.

MINI MEME: A miniature playing card appears in place of a drawing of a prediction card.

LOLA: A fun little effect where a drawing of a woman, “Lola”, turns into a drawing of a man.

IN FLAMES: A prediction that says: “FIRE” turns into a prediction that says “7C”.

BACTERIA: This is an effect like the trained “flea circus”, but with something even smaller, bacteria. The effect is very fun and really brings out the emotions in the participant.

HISTORY OF FRIXION MAGIC: He talks about the history of frixion pens and some effects that had been previously published using this principle. This is a really good resource for other ideas if you really get into more frixion effects.

On the DVD you also get a PDF of the original Frixion Fire book by Jeff Stone.

He also teaches about the pens and how to convert a regular pen into a frixion pen so you can use it in performance.

CONS

Not much to say. The DVD is very thorough and has 17 great routines as well as a bunch of bonus material.

VERDICT

A great collection of frixion effects. This is a must have.

This DVD is devoted entirely to the Frixion pens. Frixion pens are erasable ink pens and the bonus being that the ink is also heat sensitive. The allows for some very interesting possibilities.

The DVD is well shot and simple to follow. It has a very basic format as Jeff shows his friends the basic effect and then explains it. Nothing fancy or cutting edge in the production or layout but it works very well for the purposes of this DVD.

This DVD is brainstorming at its best. Jeff gives you a plethora of ideas for uses with this pen. Halfway through the DVD, I was beginning to feel overwhelmed with the amount of ideas that flowed from his mind. The tricks that Jeff shows you are not fully scripted, ready to go, perfect routines. What they are, is fully formed “ideas” that allow you to imprint them onto your own performing persona and develop some very entertaining presentations of your own.

I have seen some magicians perform a frixion pen routine in the past and it did not excite me at all. Because of this, I simply passed on the idea of a frixion pen. However, after watching this DVD, I have changed my mind. There is some clever stuff on this DVD.

Restaurant workers will find this DVD well worth the money as there are many routines that you could easily drop into your set for those repeat customers. The DVD was fun to watch and I especially enjoyed the thinking behind “Burning Time”: A borrowed, signed matchbook goes back in time.
