Vanishing inc. has started something that I was confident would catch on. The small soft cover books the are producing are filled with strong material, are inexpensive and are easy to carry around.
By all means, I don't have all of them, but I was wondering what are some of your favorites. I really like High Spots, but I must say that Above the Fold is my favorite. Te routines are entertaining for me and my audience, the sleights are new and it is an entertaining read. My favorites from the book are his card to box sleight (so much better than the usual) and his card transposition, Oops, I did it again. However, I seem to come across something different each time I open up the book. Bravo on all the books, but especially this one. It is great. |

When I go into a shop, and when I was a demonstrator at three of them, I ALWAYS looked for these before the hard cover books. Yes, I love those too but these booklets are absolute treasures. Due to my relocation I have had to watch my budget until I got my bloody green card but I do have High Spots and it's a hell of a booklet. I like Caleb's thinking and Vanishing, Inc. does a great job with all of their stuff. The Definitive Sankey is a beautifully produced set. Duaneberry is so spot on folks. Go to a shop and seek these out! There is really strong magic in these unassuming booklets. I've been paging through a number of these since I have been able to finally get to my books. |

One thing that I have noticed with smaller booklets - they often have a higher caliber of good magic in them than large books, because the author has to more selective about what goes into them.

I have Clockwork Apple, High Spots, and Above the Fold. I have to echo, strong material in these pages.
I need to get Caleb's Six Pack booklet! |

Route 52 anyone?
I bought this from Andi Gladwin when he lectured here, it is one of his favorites I believe and he uses fireback aces a lot himself. |

My new book "Discoveries and Deceptions" is also in the same format.

If you want a great small book that's under $10, pick up Dingle's Deceptions written by Harry Lorayne.

My "8 Effects and a Sleight" is a small softcover book, and I'm hoping to release another small publication this year.

John G's new little book, Discoveries and Deception is amazing!
Book of Clues, Multi Mental, and Here, There, in my Pocket are things that are going into my sets. |
