The Sticky-Note Slide by Tyler Twombly

This comprehensive hour-long tutorial reveals the most visual and practical techniques for executing moving ink effects in close-up magic. The standout Original Routine allows you to draw any letter, number, shape, or symbol on a sticky note with a permanent marker, then visibly move it three times before handing it to an audience member. This routine includes several variations tailored for different performance contexts.

The Hearts Routine merges two hearts connected by Cupid’s arrow, visually combining the initials of two individuals. This version is quicker to perform while delivering a strong emotional impact. In Zen Archery, the performer predicts the location of an imagined hole on an archery target drawn on a sticky note—completely free of forces or nail writers. The audience member then learns to magically move that hole to the bulls-eye using their imagination.
