Based on the original NFC Sharpie by Marc Kerstein, the NFC Sharpie Pro features 2 x NFC tags embedded within the pen body itself for the ultimate in stealth!
Located behind both 'Sharpie' logos to easily locate, simply bring the pen near the spectator phone's NFC reader while mid-performance to silently launch your favourite web magic app such as WikiTest, Inject and Akronym - all without your audience suspecting a thing. No switches, no tech fumbling and no funny moves.
You no longer need to remember your covert URL or try to covertly type it in on your spectator's phone browser as the NFC Sharpie Pro does all the heavy lifting for you.
Plus: The NFC Sharpie Pro remains totally clean. You can hand it to your spectator and they can use it as normal. It looks and acts like a real Sharpie because it is. And yet, in your hands, it becomes the trigger for miracles.
Coming soon - the optional WikiTest crib sheet can be selected for those who would like to utilise Marc's original idea of having the WikiTest crib directly on the pen.
Why use the NFC Sharpie Pro?
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!
