Yes, maybe this shouldn't be advertised as a 'closely guarded secret', if, in fact, the method is the same as the Voodoo Doll method. If this isn't the Voodoo Doll method, then, hummm!

- 2. Paul responds:It IS a guarded secret—just an ancient one! The “only for adults” disclaimer practically tells you what it is. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a great little deceptive trick. If you you use your noggin you can even let them (apparently) examine it.
- 3. Fredrick responds:The concept goes back to the late 1800’s according to Denis Behr’s Conjuring Credits (https://www.conjuringcredits.com/doku.php?id=misc:rising_pencil). There was a commercial release in the 1950’s Royden’s New Rising Pencil. Not sure when it evolved into the voodoo doll. Now it’s back again as a pencil. As the saying goes, everything old is new again.
