If you could manipulate permanent ink, what could you pull off?

The Undercover Pen lets you do exactly that. It’s a two-in-one utility device that looks and functions like an ordinary Sharpie marker, but hides an extra ink source that can be secretly erased. The swap happens so smoothly that using it feels less like magic and more like an act of espionage.

If you’re like me and constantly on the go, pocket space is critical. I carry my Undercover Pen every day so I’m never caught unprepared. If you already have a Sharpie in your EDC, this device is a no-brainer choice — and a seamless exchange.

To kick-start your covert ops, The Undercover Pen comes with special access to five deceptions that I’ve declassified for the first time:

1. STAR TREK — A signed coin disappears from a spectator’s hand and reappears anywhere within arm’s reach.

2. BOTTOM LINE — In a bar, take your audience back to their rebellious teenage years by marking the booze level on a bottle of liquor (your own beer), then magically move the ink line after sneaking a drink.

3. CROSS OVER — The cleanest coin transposition you’ll ever do… and it uses ONLY two coins.

4. STARSTRUCK — Draw a matrix of dots across the plastic on your card box, then have a spectator smear the wet ink. Watch their reaction as the smudges reveal their chosen card.

5. UNDERFOOT — Two coins instantly transpose from your hand to under your shoe. The “back and forth” finale packs a punch your audience won’t see coming.

BONUS EFFECT: As a thank you for all these years of support, I’m including “THE WALK AWAY.” It’s a brilliant slow-motion bent coin routine from my good friend Tim Trono that happens in the spectator’s hand. Unlike other versions, there‘s no fumbling, no funny business — you openly put the unbent coin in their hand.

Why the name? Because once you’re done, the reaction will speak for itself. Say nothing. Just… walk away. 

Each Undercover Pen is meticulously handcrafted for a seamless fit. Originally, they were special one-offs made just for me, but I struck a deal with the craftsmen and got my hands on a limited supply.

When I say “limited,” I do mean it — less than five hundred sets are available right now, and no additional runs are planned. If you love the idea of carrying a utility device that hides in plain sight, you may want to stock up on spares.

As a performer constantly in pursuit of the perfect everyday-carry, The Undercover Pen comes with an exclusive advantage. Everyone knows that Sharpies are permanent — the ability to turn this common knowledge to your advantage lends itself to mind-blowing possibilities.

I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.
