I second Sankey's "Pen is Mightier". The Misleading Mislead can be turned to feature the pen instead of the paper money. Whipping out a pen to make a prediction is good as well.

My favorite is U.S. Grant's voodoo pen. I don't know what he calls it but it uses the same principal as Bruce Kalver's voodoo doll where you make the pen rise by itself and stand up on one end. I always do this when doing walk around and I have the kids make the pen rise. They do the magic, not me. It goes over very well.
I'd love to add the rising pen bit to it. I should have looked at the video first. That's the same method as the Grant pen I use. It's a great effect. I thought it was like the rising wand. |

Go to http://www.pentrix.com
That has a lot of cool pen manipulations.
Look deep within yourself for inspiration

Pentrix is a great place to watch the pen manips but it takes years of practice to dot that and I would not call it magic

Its also funny that I asked the exact same question a few months ago and only got a hand full of responses. Not nearly as many as in this thread.

Fish, what do you define magic as?
A lot of things can be considered magic. I think that manipulations are magic. http://www.pentrix.com has stuff of all levels and as all other magic, requires practice.

Those are great looking flourishes. Flourishes are not magic but a certainly a part of magic performance. Most of will do a wand spin when using a wand, or a ball roll or coin roll. Flourishes are impressive and they do establish credibility with laymen and other magicians who recognize the time that was spent in mastering the technique.
It's great to be able to do a short manipulation sequence with the pen to make a routine out of what would otherwise be just a short levitation trick. |

Scott Hitchcock has a great production of a pen that looks REALLY good. If you can get a hold of a set of his lecture notes, it is in there. I have a set myself. You can get them through him, or Jeff McBride also sells them. They are a great set of notes to have.

PK Sharpie - not so much, the one I got was hard to set up. |

The DVD of Jay Sankey's that stphotog is referring to is called "45", and it is 45 slights and moves performed and explained completley without talking, in an attempt to make a truly international DVD.

In Greg wilsons off the cuff he has a full pen routine Its very good I learned that routine by watching the demo and added a few things to it like coin in pen cap and one time at church I had my IT so after the routine I made the pen fly into my hand. That got some reactions but I don't do the routine often.

Harris, Paul, "Pen-Ultimate*", Las Vegas Close-Up by Paul Harris (Chuck Martinez Productions 1978), pp.1-9. A signed card is inserted under the clip of a ball point pen, the ends of which are held by a spectator. The clipped card is covered briefly with a fan of cards. When the card is uncovered it is seen to have impaled itself on the pen. Everything can be examined.

PENTRIX is a very good source for flourishes with a pen.

I use Banachek's Psychokinetic Pen 90% of the time because it works amazingly well on the edge of a book's surface and since they're both synonymous anyway. The Perplexing Pen from http://www.lightpowermagic.com/ is another brilliant example of craftsmanship because it actually writes and I've had up to four movements with it when placed on the bottom of a plastic cup. The Rising Pen from http://www.magic.org/store/product_info.php?products_id=3362 looks like it might be a nice addition as well, but I haven't tried it yet. Anyway, in my experience I have come to learn that the cheaper the pen is...the better the effect will be and the better it will work!
