What Makes These Colored Pencils MAGIC?

[@przykran]

these are quite popular in the urban sketchers community in Poland, I enjoy using them (as well as the more colour-matched versions from a set, like your tri-tones, but in Europe they're under the Magic name too and I happen to have the jumbo triangular versions, though I've seen people using the thin ones) for quick portraits just using one colour :D frankly, the neon one I'm not a fan of, but I have recently tried it on black paper and I think I might have found a use for it :) the original one is definitely the most popular (and it comes in a thinner core too!) the 5 big pencils I wouldn't use for colouring tbh, maybe the fire one, but the rest are more of a fun colourful sketching experience

[@amewims1350]

The 24 set of big magic pencils are really great for backgrounds! They are easy to use alongside your other favorite pencils.

[@monogurui6533]

These are actually a really cool/pretty pecil for just having fun. They blend so nicely.

[@angelashortall9778]

I put my odourless Spirits into a water brush. I also used a dried out marker, cleaned out an empty dry copic, And then let the tip and the inside spongy piece soak soak in a bowl with the spirits. And of us I just used a paint brush. I fun the first two really good from the go.

[@RonSnayberger]

Maybe because I’m watching on my phone but I wouldn’t buy the magic or the tri tone pencils. I don’t like the colors and how they blended. I’ll stick with regular colored pencils and blending techniques. Thank you, you just saved me money.

[@aptwalker2009]

I have these and the tri-tones...both are great fun to use...perfect accents with basic color pencils too.

[@carolbatchelor5855]

I think I might get a lot of use from the set of 24, but I'm not sure that I would use the set of 5 very often. Like you mentioned, coloring mandalas would probably be fun with these pencils. Thanks for sharing your tips and recommendations with us!!

[@valasafantastic1055]

I bought a set. Mostly I plan in using them (when they arrive) in sketches and for colourful more rainbow lineart. I have great erasers that allow erasing any coloured pencils! Namely the faber-castell dust free eraser. As well as for traveling and random challenges.

[@mariapierce638]

I just got another set of tri-tone pencils and they are my new favorites. It's the Koh-I-Noor Magic Christmas Limited Edition. There are 23 plus a blender in the tin. They are woodless with a nice enamel coating. Most have snowflakes on top of the usual swirled colors on the barrels. The colors seem to blend better than my other Koh-I-Noor pencils.

[@Emmawilliams83]

These pencils look amazing I’ve not seen the tri and magic pencils before tysmfs 🥰

[@millerghostly5360]

You are so comforting to hear when you drop knowledge on us... Are you wiccan? It might seem abit out of line for asking but i bet you are. You are hundreds of years old..I mean that in the most honorable way. Much respect

[@GilluindilG]

The 23 set of Magic pencils is way cheaper than the set of Tri-Tones here, in Ireland. Also the big set of Magic pencils have the same color names as the Tri-Tone ones and looking at your swatches they actually look pretty much the same as the Magic. As far as I know the set of fives you have is an addition to the full set of 23 pencils and they are like extra effects. Fun fact: you can buy the neon one at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona as a souvenir in their shop with a special print on it. I work a lot with the Magic pencils because they are great for the style of story books. When you draw and colour with them the end result looks a bit childish, fun and charming. I love the richness of the colours they produce and the bigger pencil makes it easier to colour in larger areas and puts less strain on my hand in general.

[@leonnehaaijman4709]

The set of 24 tritones is a whopping 73 euros here in Spain… ☹️

[@GilluindilG]

@@leonnehaaijman4709 Yeah, it's around the same price here as well.

[@kiwess1]

I most definitely am going to buy them!! They will work well with my zentangling and my doodles adult coloring books. I wouldn't have to worry about skin tones and realistic coloring. Thanks for doing this video, as always. 😊😊

[@twingytwango6971]

Those violet petals are gorgeous!

[@cheryldodge5126]

I own the original 11 colors + blender and have used them for trees leaves wood animal fur. I would love to see how these Magic pencils look using a swirling motion. Thank you Jennifer as always.

[@CandyDae]

The Neon pencil is the standout, creating little jewels like opals in your drawing. I love the Tritones and was able at one time to buy them individually.

[@dianefarris5360]

I've had those and the smaller ones in the bigger set of tri colors for years now and I like them. They are different and make for an easy color some times :)

[@judithpharo8073]

So enjoyed your Magic tonight. I own the Magic set of 23+1, you taught more today to add to my knowledge. I use "AFMAT 6-12mm" sharpener so far, I have not found a pencil it will not sharpen to a perfect long point move the dial and it can make the point less sharp, these pencils worked perfectly, with a warning to hold the pencil as vertical as possible, even my beloved Prismas are happy no broken points since I bought it. So far, I have used the Magic pencils on backgrounds flowers, clothing and houses, admittedly with the first-time learning curve. I am very happy with them they are a lot of fun.

[@carolberres5528]

I picked up this set of five for my Granddaughter on clearance at Michaels, as we were coloring together later, I really liked them. My daughter gifted me the full set for Mothers Day the following month. I really enjoy coloring with them.

[@Shinyred-921]

First, this was an excellent video both in your presentation and the technical aspect. The magic pencils are interesting but I am hesitant in purchasing them at this time. I prefer the 24 tricolor because I think there is better control of achieving the color, tone and effect. Again, a great video and looking forward to watching more from you. Thank you.

[@bethhillger1230]

I think they are a good addition to the other set, and I think mixing them would create more interesting effects.

[@mariapierce638]

Thanks for another great review! I've owned the 5 set of Magic for a couple years and I think they're really fun to use. I just swatched mine again a few days ago, on reference cards this time. I was really excited to see the color names, because my packaging is long gone. My neon pencil barrel has the same color as yours, but my America pencil is light and dark blue swirls. That was confusing for a minute. :) My tropical barrel has a lot of purple swirled in with the green and blue. The other two barrels seem to be very similar to yours. My three digit numbers on the barrels were different from your pencils, but consistent. (Yours that were numbered 031 are both 070 in my set.) The longer UPC numbers seem to be the same on both our sets. I only have 11 tri-tones, and now I really want that pink tri-tone pencil. Full set syndrome strikes again!

[@user-wk1mw9nj3i76]

I’ve always wondered what these are like. Thanks for the excellent video!

[@Jodrika1]

You are ab amazing colorist. Wow. Loved it. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

[@davek12]

I have the 24 set of thick triangular Magic pencils which I do think overlap the Tri tones. They seem like a non specific set, but the thick cores spread out force and end up feeling too hard and less vivid than Tri tones. I was hoping for "Magnus Polychromos" but in use are more like something for kids. They are pretty and feel nice in hand.

[@nannymoohtd4life795]

I love these pencils, I've a bigger set which has a clear blender. I mainly use them to backgrounds.

[@millerghostly5360]

Thanks!

[@sunnycharacter]

Love these! In my cart right now but they’ve already gone up to $11.99!

[@Tammi_The-Cr4fty-Cat-Lady]

Colorful, Jennifer! Thank you for showing those five beautiful 3-in-1 colorful pencils! I have the Tri-Tones and a set of the 23+1 Magic pencils, and I enjoy using all of them. The set of five you showed in the video are additional to what's in my tin, so I'll likely buy that five-pack soon to add to my current set (or wait to see if Koh-i-noor will add them to another multi-set later). I wasn't too happy that the pencils didn't have color names on them, so I wrote them on the pencils with either a Micron pen or a white gel pen, depending on the barrel's color scheme.

[@susans9730]

I actually bought a set of these on a recent trip to Prague for about $6! they were recommended by a tour guide. I love your video I actually bought a set of these on a recent trip to Prague (about six euros) they were recommended by a tour guide. I love your video. And I'm excited to start coloring!

[@fantastic_pudding]

They Koh-I-Noor Magic pencils actually come in few different sets (and shapes, and sizes...) - some with random colours like in your video, and some with 3 shades of the same colour in one pencil. I have a 24 woodless set (which mostly has 3 shades of the same colour in one pencil, with like 3 exceptions). I also have the big "tropical" pencil, which is absolutely beautiful (and sooo nice to touch, lol), and a normal sized wooded hexagonal "original" one. I need to get that neon one too

[@eBookHoarder]

I have a special pencil case for this type of pencil. I got the woodless set too. They will last forever.

[@stewarth]

I like the look of the tri-tone more. They fascinate me

[@pasnfncy5338]

Hi! I missed your live, however want to say beautiful pencils. Love your coloring page!❤

[@marytesta3003]

Shoot! I got a phone call so missed it live! I love the outcome. That neon blend is great.

[@kimberlyjeffries4913]

I like them! The flower you colored is fab!! I might buy them. I have a smaller 12 piece set of them I think. They are fun but you have to be flexible when coloring with them as you said!! They're keepers for me!

[@FazartOrganization]

Great edits Steve, love Rose' thought bubble. Hahaha

[@bconsilio3764]

Hi Jennifer- I like your coloring books. Many others have such intricate patterns you can hardly get a pencil in the area. For me especially, because I like to color with a dull pencil. I am heavy handed with the pressure and don’t like the cores crumbleing after sharpening to a fine point. I really like that you keep the focus of your channel narrow. I like mixed media and when I have a question about pencils &/or paper I check your play list and generally can be sure I will find my answer here!! Thank You! What type of ventilation do you have there in your studio? Your setup is so nice for filming, but I picture you in an alcove in the basement with all windows covered so the lighting can be controlled. So there would be no ventilation. I’m probably so wrong, but I wonder so I can be sure to have good ventilation. Thanks so much Bernadette 🐝🤗

Oh and the tri-tones also come in jumbo sizes just like the tri-tones with the color bands.

[@jannellcook5772]

It's always enjoyable to watch your channel! I have learned so much about coloring with all the different pens,markers, pencils and etc.. Thank you for an awesome education. Look forward to a continual discovery! Jannell Grodhaus

[@twingytwango6971]

I’m definitely going to buy a 24 pack after seeing the results you got! The jumbo tri-color with the color bands might be triangular shaped to but I can only be sure if I purchase it.

[@ynnep2030]

I think the 24 pencils would be good to try , but not the 5 magic pencils set. I am not into abstract art or mandalas. Great to see your video which reviewed these pencils, so I know what to expect with the many coloured pencils available on the internet. Thank you

[@janaweaver1235]

I Love these pencils. Have All of them. So many uses, from lists to art and so much fun. **Note, bigger is better! Works best on larger projects so as to show off the colour changes.

[@terilynn1071]

They remind me of Tertiry Colors?? The blend of the Colors of the Magic pencils by khooi knor pencils. Loved the video TFS Sweetie 💜❤️🦋🌻🫂

Well, here I go again! I thought I was through buying pencils but apparently I'm not! The Tri colors didn't call me but the Magic ones do. Thanks for such (as always) a thorough review!

I was waiting on line to pay at Blick and the black sparkly pencil was in eyeshot, so I bought it. It’s nice but I gave it to my friends son who loves it. I😊

[@RashmiIndianColourist]

I have this exact set and love using them for whimsical coloring. I use the dahle 133 sharpner. I did review them when I purchased them but obviously nothing close to the details you have examined

[@Pebblesmas]

Cool pencils and thx 4 this video. A question, a couple of video's (i thought that was in your video too, but i guess i was wrong) mentioned that you best turn the sharpener, not the pencil, for got why 😨🥺PS lovely coloring!

[@MoistMage69]

Would you buy the full set of magic colour pencils? I’m curious if the larger set of these has doubles in them or not. I have been thinking about getting these but have to wait until I have less pencils lol FSS really makes life interesting 😂

[@kimvalentino1125]

I have both sets and I like them both 😊

[@gailducrest8851]

I’m getting them. Do you have any completed coloring pages of your books? So I could use them for inspiration, something of which I am in need.

[@september_soul]

Hey there can you tell me where you got your swatch books? I would love to have some of them!

Thank you Jennifer, I'm going to get them! Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada

[@twingytwango6971]

Here’s some exciting news, those tri-color pencils are also available in a triangular shape and there are 6 in the package. Of course they are also available in 12 and 24 packs. The triangular shapes are so awesome to use. The pencils are so beautiful that I just keep them as eye candies.

[@nattyw495]

Very interesting and informative i like the five magical pencils better i guess its cause the range of color within each barrel is different when you do a scifi type of coloring book or fantasy type i think the Five magical pencils would suit me..does anyone know what country manufactured these magical pencils??.....Mikelle art mom 👩‍🎨✍🎨

[@fantastic_pudding]

They're Czech :)

[@katsanders15]

I may get these.

[@CaityRaindrop]

I think these pencils are neat for specific effects but I personally don't see myself using em often cause I like to know the color I'm putting down

[@aussiegypsy62]

I do like them but over all the Color’s look to muddy for my liking. Depends on what your coloring in?

[@eBookHoarder]

I think so. I tend to use mine for specific areas like sky or trees. I turn my pencil and do not layer the color.

[@thedomesticfox717]

It’s hilarious that they market them for professional use. My daughter got a set of these at the book fair in elementary school in early 2000s. I still have them - fun but not practical…for me.

[@loominaria721]

I noticed there when you were sharpening the pencils that your were turning pencil and keeping sharpener still which is the typical way we learn. Where the correct way is to keep pencil still and rotate sharpener.

[@jacqulineloncke8696]

[@conniewhall3109]

Good morning, J.S. I have the short - 13 pack of these wicked wonderful pencils. I use a very hard-handed pressure when I color. (My fine line markers suffer.) The varied shades & tones are just fun. Oh, and beautiful, of course. In my onpine, they are 2nd only to the Crayola Crayon Twistables. Which, quite sadly, are no longer available for purchase. Just saying. ≈^..^≈
