Vanishing Inc. Magic reviews by Phil Harris

Casino Royale With Cheese magic download (video)
I first experienced Mayhew's magic through '3hree Dee' which was totally mad but brilliant, so when I saw this I had to pick it up. It's an awesome effect and you don't have to be a sleight of hand guru to starting melting (cheese) their minds with this one. Great entertainment value too, Chris could make any effect enjoyable. Mayhew does it again!
Audience Management book
A very in-depth breakdown on a topic which deserves much more attention - performance/presentation are the real secrets of magic, would love to see more like this.
Multiple Revelation Project dVD and book set
This is a blockbuster set. Two DVDs and a booklet (it's small, but the content is very interesting) containing pretty much everything you can think of on the subject of the Multiple Card Find.
Some things that really stood out:
- They show real life performances. In times when pretty much every magic DVD shows silly street performances or fake audiences, it is very interesting to see two natural performers in their actual environments.
- There are way more revelations than you need. Some I already knew, some I would have never thought of applying to the Multiple Card Find and some are brand new (I believe unpublished).
- These guys are fun. Really fun. They make learning the routine so much more interesting.
- This is a topic with such little exposure so it's great to see so much info.
This is an absolute must buy. Thank you Vanishing Inc and Andy and Rob!
Reveal trick
This arrived and I'm loving it. So, so smart. You know, the mistake people make with clipboards is that they get so "clever" that the methods don't work. This CANNOT fail. Easy to do, easy to use, and you get a great, clean glimpse. The best on the market.
Roulette book
Wow! Chris Rawlins is somebody I'm going to watch for. I bought this and Reveal, and I love both. He writes from the standpoint of a seasoned mentalist, and his chair prediction alone makes this worth the money.
KW One-Hand Pass magic download (video)
You have no idea how great this is for me. I bought several books whenever I heard about a one-handed pass, and I never found one I really could use or like. THIS IS IT! I am so happy that I found this. Thank you Vanishing Inc and thank you Kim Wist!!!!!!
Rope, Nut & Knot trick
Very top notch product. Great instruction, fair demo, and it worked no problem. It's amazing! Highly reccomended.
21 - Magic DVD
This is such a deal! So much great magic from so many great magician! A big range of different style of effects! The self bending straw is my favorite!
Bullets After Dark DVD
I recently meet John at a convention and man he was a wonderful guy. Answered any and all questions I had and was so nice! I've studied most of his magic but I didn't Bullets After Dark until now and I'm so happy with it!
EVP trick
A killer effect! A great value, a great package and the quality of the gimmick is amazing!
52 Memories - Retrospective Edition book
Jack Paker's 52 Memories is a really great book. The book contains most of Jack’s best work and is designed for those who like card magic, especialy packet card magic.
You can learn 44 tricks and 8 moves in total, which are divided into 8 chapters. There is also an essay by Jack Paker including and a feature of the book that will surprise you: A 'Trick Setup Reference list’ - the setup for each trick in the book. This is really useful to refer back to!
The book has hard cover and is printed on gloss paper. The interesting thing is the illustrations, which are printed in 2 classic card-face color red and black. And I love the pack they have used! Tally Ho is my favourite pack.
You will find every trick in the book useful and no trick makes you disappointed. Each trick comes to learner in 4 sections: Memory, Sleights Used, Method, Comments, and Credits.
I recommend this book for those who want to practise card magic.
Quantum Coins and Cards trick
Just got the notification that mine has shipped so thanks for that Vanishing. Usually, I wouldn't write a review before a product has arrived (for obvious reasons) but I have spent a few days playing with a set owned by a friend of mine. After playing with hers for a few days, I just had to buy it. I'm seeing a lot of chatter about the price but IMO it's completely worth it. Were you fooled by the trailer? I was. That's why it's worth the money. And unlike other matrix effects, this one is practical. Please to see Vanishing getting the exclusive on this. Thanks Josh and Andi.
The Oracle System trick
Really great. Love the stock of the cards too and the wallet is a nice touch. I've not performed it yet but even as an amateur, I think I should be able to pull this off. Thank you.
