Just caught this on Penguin's site today...
Nice and visual, with no mention of electronics. I'm wondering id somehow the clear clipboard is flipped over somehow at some point - other than that it looks interesting. Maybe some area of the clear material written on is pourous? Nice demo at the Louvre in Paris. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S15620 More than just a single trick, E-RASE is a utility device for professionals who want the best. You'll use E-RASE for close-up, parlor, or stage. Effect: In front of your spectators you draw with a marker different ESP symbols on your E-RASE tablet. You then ask one of them to choose one or more of the symbols. Once the choice is made, you erase the symbols that were not selected. Hiding nothing and with no manipulation and in full light, you invite your spectator to erase the remaining symbols -- the very ones he chose. He will find that this is impossible! The symbols cannot be erased! How is this possible? Invite him to rub his fingers on other side of the transparent tablet, thereby erasing the remaining symbols. It's MAGIC!!!! One question -- How have the chosen symbols passed through the transparent tablet???? An impossible mystery, given that the tablet is entirely examinable. The effect that you've just read is only one of the many easily performed with this tablet. You will bring this A4-formatted tablet everywhere. During the whole routine there are no forces. The routines are infinitely personalizable with cards, drawings, symbols, letters, numbers, etc. The principle used, as far as we know, has never been used in a magic trick. No manipulation, no chemicals, no special ink. Although it's difficult to believe, you write openly in front of your spectators and only their choice or choices go through the tablet. Delivered complete: specially made tablet, DVD, marker, eraser, and gimmick.

The strange sticker makes it very odd...
and what kind of object is it?! also - what kind of power or ability are you displaying by using this (other than "look! now you can't erase it!")? seems a bit of an oddity to me..

I find it very interesting and I bet it's pretty clever. but this is the type of magic I have absolutely no interest in performing. If you choose your material right and strive for an organic feel to your magic, you can convey an air of genuine mystery. Not that people think you're a [i]wizard[/] but that you're someone with some arcane knowledge and some eerie abilities. This type of trick will undercut anything you strive for in that area. I'm not saying it doesn't have a place. It belongs with Tenyo material which suggests "I'm someone who enjoys collecting toys that do something apparently magical." I have no issue with that and I would happily spend an hour in such a person's company, and would be delighted by seeing him perform. But if that's not the perception you're going for, I don't think this trick is going to serve you well.

I tend to agree with Iain that this feels in a way more like a puzzle then something magical. An oddity indeed... intersting, but seems more like smiles than gasps.
Yes the "look you can't erase it" really isn't some moment of astonishment - maybe a moment of vage curiosity. However, maybe with the right routining this principal could be used for a better concept?

If it was done on a window pane you could come up with some interesting presentation. Or a glass-top table, and the finale of your coins thru table is that a drawn coin passes thru. Something like that could be compelling. But this hand-held non-thing is just going to be suspicious.

Sorry, but I just don't get the whole concept? Just where is the magic here, let alone any minor semblance of a 'wow' factor? The spectator's simply smiled in a pathetic way, and nothing more. Also, why on freaking earth would one be so imbecilic as to emblazon the name of the trick on the board!!
From the looks of the demo, and the description, this seems to be more akin to nothing more than a very expensive Tenyo trick. Don't get me wrong, as over these many years I've purchased my share of Tenyo tricks, but... really?

I made a post too, as when I googled 'E-rase', nothing came up , so I don't see a problem with the name being on the board?

Roblane, its just not how it should be! Do you want your spectators to buy your tools or read about them?!
It may be a question of time until google picks up on more stuff. If you google the name + magic trick you will be directly linked to the product demo! |

I’ve found the best way to do a search on the Café, or at least the way I’ve been doing it for sometime, is to type this in on the Google search window:

Yes, Ali Cook had very nice thoughts about this especially to steam of the sticker and put a bulldog clip on.
Thank you very much for this brilliant idea! |

The one "justification" for the sticker (perhaps) is it reminds the spectator that you didn't flip the board over as they would have noticed the sticker being gone.

I asked myself what would be the meaning of this effect as a prediction.
As ink moving on the other side it would be even more meaningless... P.S. but I appreciate the originality. Something clearly new, although not for everybody I guess.

Seems like it will play well as a Mentalism prediction effect.
A list of names, months, astrological signs all get wiped off EXCEPT one. The prediction on the back. Not a closer but a good mysterious effect. |

I bought this but will probably sell it. However the idea to predict which part of a drawing will be erased last would work as a novel prediction. For stage, you could use a white board and have the part to remain done in permanent ink. E-Rase is a novel concept but not for me in its current form. You cannot hand the eraser you are using to a spectator which is what I would normally do. Someone else will make a feature of it and prove me wrong.
