i found that the aluminum foil ones can break
have to use excessive pressure
then after watching the review on the pogo stylus which is a rip off $24.99 Yikes!
this instructable will allow you to create 3+ for 20 dollars or less
and it works well

what you will need

1X mini aluminium tripod usually less then $10 (each leg resembles a Bic pen.)
or you can use a aluminum pen case or just apply putty over an object like a Bic pen casing
1X package Crayola model magic clay less then $5 (can be found at most drugstores or Toy stores)
1X electrical tape $.99 a roll
1X scissor
