Effect

Upon meeting a spectator, the performer asks the spectator to write their name on a file card. The file card is burned with a lighter and allowed to burn to ashes in an ashtray. The performer gathers a handful of these ashes and rubs them into his forearm. As the ashes spread over the performer's arm, the name of the spectator is revealed!!!

Ash Pen for a New Generation!

This special pen will allow you to perform the "ashes on arm" effect not only with great ease, but almost impromptu. In addition, it will open the doors to a wider range of presentational approaches.

This method is more simple and practical than any other method previously devised. The special pen will produce sharper and clearer messages on your arm or the back of your hand. In addition, you will now be able to make a message appear on a spectator's arm, without the aid of a stooge.

Ash Pen Pro Features:
The message can be any size. You can draw the suit and value of a playing card, a figure, a first name, a geometrical shape, a picture, etc.
The preparation will remain invisible at all times.
Preparation only takes a few seconds. In certain situations, you can even prepare your arm during the effect itself, as soon as you acquire the information.
You can write your message on a large variety of surfaces such as, but not limited to: skin, paper, playing cards, and restaurant menus. You are only limited by your imagination!!!
Presentational suggestions and various applications include:

Basic Routine
Making a message appear on a spectator's arm
Presentation for Restaurant Magic
Revealing a message on the back of a playing card
Prediction in a bag of tea... or coffee
Halloween-Bizarre Magick type of presentation
Comes complete with gimmick pen and an 8 page photo-illustrated booklet.

Overview

The “Ashes on the Arm” effect has been used in magic, mentalism and bizarre magic for time immemorial. The “creators” of this product cleverly worded their product to allude you into thinking that this is some superior method to achieve this effect. I suggest you read on.

After paying $15 for Ash Pen Pro….you will certainly feel like an ash for wasting your money. There is so much misleading information that I don’t know where to start. First, this is not a “Pen” it is a stick of wax with a point. The word pen, denotes some form of housing or retainer, there is none. The word “Pro” denotes some form of advanced material, method or it being superior to ordinary wax, it is not. This is just 3 grams of wax the thickness and length of a golf pencil. As far as instructions, the link doesn’t work.

Effect

This is a product that helps facilitate the “Ashes on the Arm” effect. This is a utility device and not an effect itself. I would imagine that if the link worked for the instructional video they may have slightly redeemed themselves with some clever routines but no, there is no working link for instructions.

Method

The method is no different than any other method to achieve this effect. You simply write on your arm, card or whatever surface you which your revelation.

Product Quality

It’s a stick of wax. It works like, feels like and tastes like any other stick of wax. The instructional video link does not work so don’t expect to learn any routines.

Ad Copy Integrity

The ad copy is ludicrous to say the least. The hyperbole and overselling of the effect is laughable. “Your message can be any size” AMAZING….I’ll take two.

Final Thoughts

My final thought is that I wish I can give this incredibly misleading product zero stars but I can’t.
