You can also do the following simple procedure:
Wet a sheet of paper – Put a dry sheet on top and write message with a ball point pen or pencil.
Destroy top sheet, (to keep the secret), when dry the lower paper seems blank so write something innocent on it.
To develop the writing wet the sheet again and the secret message is visible when you hold up to the light.

There is no such thing as secret ink, everything is now available to public.
