Friction Pen Ideas?

[Toby]

Do you guys know of any Friction Pen routines and ideas? The only ones I know and can think of is transforming the 8 of Spades/Hearts into the 3 of Clubs/Diamonds, and deleting a message keeping a few words as a prediction.

For those of you who do not know what a Friction Pen is, it's a special kind of pen which ink can be erased by applying heat (ie. lighter flame) under the paper. So for example you draw a 3 of Diamonds with a regular pen, and then use the friction pen to add the lines so they make the 8 of Hearts. You make that as a prediction, force the 3 of Diamonds, turn the prediction over and it turns out to be wrong, you take the lighter, heat the paper, and the 8 of Hearts visually morphs into the 3 of Diamonds.
I hope that made sense

So do you guys have any ideas for routines?
Thank you!

Mathieu Bich once released a collection of effects using this pen. I got the pen for magical purposes, but ended up using it regularly.

I've tweaked some old spirit slate routines to work with a Frixion pen. Check out Practical Mental Magic.

Montier has a book out on Frixion pens too, check it out: http://www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic-downloads/close-up-magic-downloads/stranger-than-frixion/

They're great, even Blaine used some Frixion style routines on the new show!

Watch the Blaine special, he seemed to have lots of applications using the ink. . . or so it seemed to me.

Thanks D, that book seems really good. Just reading through the table of contents on the website, I got tons of ideas for the Friction Pen.
