I got an email from Vanishing inc. offering a download from Scott Robinson, includes 4 effect, 2 cards (using same vanish) and 2 coins.
The cards is a card that vanishes when sandwich (no gimmicks) and teh coins are a transposition and a routine with the C/S transpo from Duscheck very visual Does anybody got the download, or knows about Robinson or can comment on the download? here is the link http://www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic-d......gination Pablo |

This looks great.
I was thinking the card effects could be worked into a Paul Harris Bizarre Twist routine. For ten bucks I don't see how you could go wrong. |

Torn, because I don't yet do coins, so waiting for reviews... (Is it JUST worth card vanish...)

Here is my preliminary review, I just watched the download, but did not practice the tricks yet
Caveat: I am a hobbist with beginner level skills and English is not my main language, which is important for video explanations in english. The download is a $10 Quicktime movie, 24 min long, and 144MB, so it takes a while to download. The movie has a permanent label, as security, on the top left corner in white letter “Downloaded by Pablo” (my first name), the label does not interfere with the movie and after 1 min you don’t notice it. I don’t know Scott Robinson (That’s my fault), but these tricks were filmed live at FFFF 2011, so I imagine he is a well known and skilled magician. I like the way Robinson explains the tricks, very clear and easy to follow, even for 4 tricks in 24 min you understand without doubt what to do and why. I will look for more tricks from him. If you watched the demo, the movie is structure in the same way, 2 cards trick and then 2 coin tricks. The 2 card tricks are versions of the vanish of a card while passing through 2 others. The first version needs a small preparation but the execution is easier and I can do it at my level with some practice, the angles are very good and the trick is very good. The second version is impromptu and a little bit out of my range; it needs certain sleights that without been a pass level are more than an elmsey. I am sure any magician with some experience will be able to do it with some practice. Personally I will not spend time in this version. Again the trick is very good and no preparation. The Transposition of 3 silver coins for a copper coin is very good, the sleights are not beginner level, but with some practice I will be able to do it. I am not sure on the “magic value” of transposing 3 coins for 1, Robinson makes a comment on this as well, but not a big thing I guess. The last trick is the C/S transposition, and it was a surprise for me because it is impromptu, and while Robinson credits Duscheck and Bueno, he does not use the gimmick, it is all sleight of hand and not too difficult, I will be able to do it. Only comment is that he uses small coins (good thing because they are current coins), and he explains why in the video, but I am sure it can be done with larger coins as well adjusting the sleights. Personally I will use the small coins I like this trick a lot Summary: for $10 the download is priced correctly, you get 4 tricks, on cards and coins, what you see in the demo if what you get, I liked all of the tricks very much, and out of the 4 tricks I will do for sure 3 of them.

As a native of NC I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Scott. I was lucky to see most of his magic in person and even better I had the chance to be part of the creative process for some of his newer stuff. It's awesome that Scott is sharing his magic with you guys. If you like creative, visual and eye-popping magic then you can't go wrong here guys.
If you get a chance to see Scott in person get ready to be destroyed. This guy is the real deal! |

I completely agree with Luke.Scott is one of the best kept secrets in magic.I've been a huge fan of his material for years.
