The vidio of this looks pretty nice. Video says no reels or magnets. I don't have a clue. Won't be released until later this month. What do you think?

It's another Hocus Pocus exclusive!

Pre-order yours today. Expected release date is last week of March or sooner.

"I almost hate to admit this, but when The Vanishing was presented to me, I couldn't figure out how it was done. Seriously, it both drove me crazy and excited me, and this is what makes The Vanishing such an outstanding effect. PLUS, it's easy to learn. What you see is exactly what you get, there is no special editing on this video!"
- Paul Gross, owner Hocus Pocus.

Preface: This utility device will allow you to do miracles when it comes to vanishing an object or making it travel from one place to another. It is light to carry and can fit in your wallet. It's not bulky, and no necessary clothing requirements are needed. You can even use this gimmick naked if you wanted to.

Chapter 1: The magician borrows a small object, a coin, ring, etc. There are no switches, and the exact same coin is used the entire time. With a slow wave over the coin, it effortlessly vanishes. No funny movements, no sudden sleights. The coin is COMPLETELY gone. The spectator can FEEL your hands to make sure there's nothing there; because there is nothing...

At this point, you can either choose to end there, or continue, and make the coin reappear again on your hand or in theirs. You then hand out their coin for examination and leave them with a signed coin they'll never forget.

Chapter 2: The magician borrows a tic tac box and a tic tac. There are no switches whatsoever, and there are no alterations on the box or the tic tac. You cleanly place the tic tac inside of the box. And with no sudden movements, the tic tac visually melts through the bottom, and landing on your spectator's cupped hand. They can then immediately examine the tic tac and the box.

Chapter3: The magician proceeds to use an ordinary coffee cup, and asks the spectator for a dollar bill (or anything that can be crumpled up into a ball). He cleanly places the cup over the ball. With NO movements whatsoever, he snaps his fingers and the ball is gone. You can then proceed to continue with your regular cups and balls routine; or you can continue to use the gimmick to make it a devastating cups and balls routine.

Shin showed this to me and it left me completely fooled. Brilliant!

Come on. That is awesome. Now I have a headache.

Angles, refills, repeatable? You have to imagine that if this device allows for vanishes THAT clean it would be much more expensive... It looks great, but I'm suspicious.

This looks incredible... Will wait for reviews.

Flash at 1'57''

Looks very nice, although Ill wait for a few reviews before I get my wallet out !

Obviously this is real magic! No other explaination. The Magicshop Uk demo is shorter than the Hocus pocus one though.....

I just talked to Paul at Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus has the US exclusive on this. They are quite excited about this and said it is very practical and will be great for walk around. I've put my order in and will let you know what I think when I get it.

Wasn't this the guy that everyone said faked a magic video?
Or was that someone else?

What ever.. it does look good... but it does have that look of something that when you get it, it's not what you expected it to be.

Very interesting though.
