It's just a Berol handwriting pen - until it's not!
No more worrying about remembering your secret URL (website address) or trying to covertly type it in on your spectator's phone as the NFC Cards do all the heavy lifting for you.
The NFC Berol Pen is a fully examinable, totally normal Berol handwriting pen. It writes, it feels right, and yes, they can even borrow it. But hidden inside are precision-placed high quality NFC chips that are invisible to the eye and undetectable to the touch.
You can hand your spectator the pen; they can inspect it; they can write with it; it looks and acts like a real pen - because it is. And yet, in your hands, it becomes the trigger for miracles.
Bring it near their phone while mid-performance and it silently launches your favourite web magic app such as Inject, WikiTest and Akronym - all without them suspecting a thing. No switches, no tech fumbling and no funny moves.
Yes, they can look at it. Yes, they can use it. No, they'll never find out its secrets.
A real Berol pen, with real ink and hidden, built-in NFC chips.
Why use the NFC Berol Pen?
The usual process:
In a typical circumstance you would ask your spectator to unlock their phone and open their browser, such as Safari. Then you would ask them to go to Google, Wikipedia, or any number of other sites you would like them to believe they are on.
Then you would usually take their phone, and in the guise of explaining what to do, you would secretly type in your secret URL to go to the alternative “look-a-like” site paired to your account ID.
Alternatively, with some apps you will pair your session with other methods, such as entering keystrokes, swiping on your own phone or using an accomplice.
What NFC products do:
No more typing your secret URL or secretly swiping to pair, all you need to do is get your spectator to unlock their phone, open their browser and go to the genuine site. Then, as you take their phone from them you simply bring it near the NFC tag.
You'll usually get an alert on the phone asking if you confirm to the redirect and once clicked, your paired page is loaded!
