I purchased this and have recieved. I have watched most of the video. I like the brothers and I like and trust Gary Jones but I am not sure I love this trick. I have only played with it at home so no real world yet but I do quite a bit of amateur performing and for instance KILL with double cross.
My main issues are that in the US, smoking and fire for that matter, are not allowed everywhere so ashes, which I think would be the preferred material, are not readily available. The pepper has not always left a strong image for me, certainly less on the stamped image than on the primary drawing and it seem quite messy. You need a lot of pepper and the stamp is quite delicate so you really have to "blow" the excess pepper rather than rubbing it off which is also messy and not practical everywhere. I know the brother put out workers and the seem like great guys and I am sure that they have worked this. I am not just not sure yet. |

For pepper you need to shake their hand to get the excess off. Check out the trailer or Dan White performing it.
https://youtu.be/3UDFA4wXYfQ If you prefer the ashes style reveal, but don't have smoking indoors, try coffee or as suggested by one of our friends, try make up. We haven't tried makeup yet so I can't promise results, but I can with ground coffee |

After seeing this trick online I immediately purchased it and was super excited to start doing it. I have played around with it at home for the last 2 days and must say I am disappointed with the purchase for a couple of reasons. First off, the impression on the spectators hand is not that bold and secondly it takes way too much pepper or ashes or the likes to even get something that is legible. The stamp imprint does not seem to be absorbing enough of the sprinkled grains or ashes to show up very well. It would seem that the imprint would need to be raised a bit more for it to come out nice and bold. I even tried to go over the number or initials a few times to see if I could get a bolding imprint but no success. it shows up, but not very good and the mess you have to create to even get that poor imprint is more than desired. I think it’s a fantastic idea and wish it worked better but for me personally I was disappointed. I followed all the instructions from the Other Brothers tutorial and tried different products to sprinkle on the stamp but nothing really came out that well. I would be interested to hear the thoughts of others that recently purchased this product.

If you want to use the most minimal sprinkle with the best impression, try ground coffee.

I was on the fence on this, but immediately purchased after watching that Dan White clip a few days ago. I'm gonna practice the stamping, and try this out later this week at work.

I got this and played with it a little bit. I've basically been practicing on my wife. I was able to get very clear impressions using salt. I also used garlic powder and coffee.I'm going to be road testing it later this week but so far I'm very happy.

I've managed to get an esp shape showing up using chilli flakes (it was for a chef friend of mine I popped in to see)...
i like this, salt is probably best, you can carry some sachets around no problem...salt is used in all kinds of psychic-like/weirdy ways...
I've asked to be banned

Bare by The Other Brothers In-Depth Review:
Hi Guys, I had a chance to play with Bare in the past few days and try it out in 2 gigs so here is my review. WHAT YOU GET: I think I cant say much new here you get the gimmicked Sharpie and a little card that contains the link for the instructional video. EXPLANATION: The Guys explaiin every little detail that you need to know about the workings of the pen. They talk about what are the prefered ways to make the revelation appear on the spectator’s arm and what are the ones that you shouldnt use. Once they share all the details that are important they teach some routines with cards, name revelations etc. The explanation is crystal clear you not gonna have any questions after you watched it. It’s about 35 minutes long so probably you gonna find your self playing with the gimmick even before the explanational video ends. DO I NEED REFILLS?: Since we talk about a marker pen if you use it every day it still should serve you for 1-2 years or more. If that’s the case and you used it that much that it dried out (which I think would not happen with any of us) that means you made a very very good use of the effect so its a no brainer that is worth another 35 usd for you to use it again for years. So in this case the refill thing I think is not even a question. BUT just for a correct answer there are no refills so if you lose it or if it dries out because you performed it around 1000 times, yes you have to buy the trick again HOW IT PLAYS IN A REAL WORLD?: I had a chance to try this out ont he battlefield in 2 completely different situations. The first one was a corporate gig for around 240 people the second one was a wedding with about 130 guests. How it went? Just in short iit was AMAZING! The preparation for it takes seconds. (Yes you have to learn write the revelations backwards) A bit of a note here. I only used the version why I write on my own hand and stamp from there. I never wrote on a business card or on any other surface cause the original version is completely fine for me. I have to tell you I never performed it with cards. Feel free to disagree with me but this thing is way more powerful to use it with cards. What I use is a Svenpad and force the things I want to force. I tried some weird things with it let me share with you one of my thing that I liked. The information was forced by a Svenpad and I stamped 4 guests on a wedding. So once the dirty job was done I didn't revealed it on a person who thought of the informatin. I asked him to select somebody from the small group and the revelation was on her hand. So they freaked out about the effect itself and they freaked out by the fact cause they thought I can reveale it on anybody. So I think you cna play with some ideas apart from the basics. Just one little note here I onlly used SALT and it worked perfectly so I didn't had any reason to experiment with any of other possibilities. MY THOUGHTS: I really like the origiinal of this effect and I tried many versions. I can easily say that this is the best of all and I only gonna use this one in the future. I would easily pay around 50 bucks for this effect so 35 usd is a bargain in my opinion. Overall I really really like this and I can give my highest recommendation without a doubt. I really hope this thing gonna be available on the market for years. Well done guys and thanks for sharing this with us its AMAZING!

Just got this in the mail today. Unfortunately it was broken and has the tip falling out. Not surprised due to the lack of any form of protection of the gimmick in the flat rate shipping package Penguin sends out. From what I see it works well, though. Easily transfers from my palm to other parts of the body.
Hoping to hear from Penguin soon. |

Anyone in a humid climates have any luck with this? I live in Florida, and I've been trying to get it to work all day, on myself and on my family and I've no luck. So far using a playing card has been the only way I've gotten this to work.
I'd like to add I'm trying this inside my air conditioned house

I'm sorry to hear that it arrived with the nib falling out. Don't be afraid to manhandle the nib and grab it and push it in until it looks like a sharpie nib, then it's ready to go again. The area we filmed the trailer in was very humid. There are a lot of midgets at the linq and add that to vegas heat and you get humidity. Try coffee grounds instead of pepper for a sure fire clear revelation.

So I got this today and have had a chance to play around with it....so far, I'm very happy with the purchase..
However,ive only had success with it with sugar...salt didn't give an impression at all, nor did pepper.. Sugar however, gave a really clear one..so I will be sticking with that! Other than that...i really don't have any complaints! Im very happy wkth the purchase! Sleepy |
