Hank Lee has them. Here is the link:
http://www.hanklee.org/xcart/customer/pr......p;page=8 Also Hocus Pocus. Their website design unfortunately does not allow a direct URL. Just go there (http://www.hocus-pocus.com) and search for "Cesaral." Note. I have been misspelling it in my previous messages. The correct spelling is as above. "Cesaral" :) |

While the PK pen is a fine item, the Cesaral pen does allow the performer to know with more certainty and consistency when the pen will actually fall thereby permitting the performer to create a more precise and dramatic moment when the effect occurs.

Why does the add claim a 10 second reset???

But actually, you have the option of taking a longer time to reset the Cesaral pen. By doing so you will add to the number of drops you can perform in a single performance before another reset is necessary. This is an additional advantage that comes with the reliability that's inherent within the precision mechanism used in the Cesaral model. |

Can you chose the the moment the pen falls with the Ceseral pen?
And if not would it be worthwhile finding a method where you could? Just a thought... |

But you know, I can see how someone who has never used one might ask that question. But the reality is that with the proper presentation, having an "on command" response like that really isn't needed. In fact, it might even detract from the desired effect by leaving an IMPRESSION that you were somehow merely yanking on an attached thread! :) |

I'm probably just wondering if an electronic version could be made. But perhaps you are right.

Just my two cents after reading this thread:
1 cent) JOHNE's comment about the EM charger almost had me spit out this first sip of an ice cold beer I just had. I can just imagine the "Sir, may I help you?" comments after they saw him looking like he was trying to catch a mean, hungry, on-fire rabid mouse loose in his pocket! 2 cents) I have and love the Banachek pen. I have seen and also think that the Ceseral is a great prop, but since both accomplish the same EFFECT I can't see spending the extra dollars unless you can afford it just to compare the two. And PK pen "nubs" do write for some time. Simply use pliers to replace it often; Bics are cheap. Bryn

For example, just because I may have a way to make a card rise out of the deck doesn't mean I should stop looking for a BETTER way to DO it! Because I always look for better ways over the years continues to make me a far better performer because in fact I have FOUND better ways to do the same thing! I'm sure if you think about it, you will remember many effects that you used to do but now do differently because the METHOD is better, cleaner, more accurate, etc. The Cesaral to me represents that same mindset. Yes, the PK does the same thing, but the Cesaral does it so much better! :) |

Palmbeachguy,
Just want to say keep putting in your input and reviews on products from your POV. I use the Banachek pen, but I am intrigued by your view of the Ceseral Pen. I respect your opinion on any products you use whether they're high end or not. |
