Nail writers are a secret weapon that mentalists use to predict the future and prove they knew the recent past.
There have been dozens of variants manufactured with different designs and different methods of attachment to the thumb. Every user has their favorite, which they think allows them to have the best handwriting and control. The original Epic Writer was one of the first whose writing was with a ballpoint pen (the first I ever saw and used was by Finn Jon).
This is a new and improved design that was remanufactured of new material that allows for easy replacements of the ballpoint writing instrument. If you ever used a nail writer, wanted to use one, or like to carry it as an out when someone says, “what am I thinking of?” this may be your best solution.
As a magician I used to open my shows at Mostly Magic and at some conventions using a nail writer with my presentation for Harry Anderson’s “The Children’s Yard Sale” which appeared in Wise Guy and earlier in his Eight Brass Monkeys booklet.
►Epic Writer V2:
The original Epic Writer was an innovative ballpoint pen nail writer that was easier to use than most nail writers and the unique design allowed for better handwriting.
This updated version is made of rubbery plastic and is much easier to reload when the ink runs out. The unique, flat design stabilizes your writing, making it one of the easiest-to-use writing devices. It also has a magnet attached to it so you can easily find and ditch it.
In addition to the writers, you will get both video and printed tutorials for various routines you can do with it that were created by Mark Elsdon, Luca Volpe, Raven Gaerloch, Atlas Brookings, and James Anthony.

►Cointemplate:
It is an impossible routine that can be performed as a stand-alone piece or as part of a longer coin set.
The basic routine involves two coins. A Kennedy Half Dollar, a copper English Penny and a see-through glass plate.
Your friend holds the glass plate between their hands as you balance the two coins on your fingertips. You place your hand with the coins under the plate so all can be seen. In an instant one of the coins penetrates the plate so there is only one coin under the plate while the other is sitting on top of the plate.

►Guaranteed Jackpot:
This routine will lead your spectators through a wonderful experience and then leave them with a memorable souvenir that could turn out to be very profitable.
Your friends shuffle a regular deck of number cards and after thoroughly mixing them you show a lottery ticket wallet with a live lottery ticket which you place face down.
The shuffled cards are dealt into six piles and the top card of each pile is pushed aside.
The six “random” cards are turned face up and they perfectly match the numbers on the lottery ticket. You then give the live ticket to your new friends and ask them to share the winnings with you if it hits.

►BACK IN STOCK:
If you are looking for a nicely made simple two compartment switching wallet, Dean Dill’s design is really good. It can be used for anything that fits inside.
►Dean’s Coin Wallet:
This is a very nicely made coin purse that Dean Dill used with his coin magic. It is a double-sided switching purse that snaps shut. It looks exactly the same on both sides so you can use it for multiple outs, switches, or just carry your coins and small props.

PS: Was very sad to hear of the passing of one of my oldest friends in magic Steve Schneiderman. You may remember that one of my earliest releases was Card Marx which was a collaboration between us.
PPS: Also just heard of the passing of Jon Racherbaumer. I released several of his things but we spoke about many other projects that never came about.
