One of the few things I actually like from Sansminds. Silent it is not, however. But unlike 90% of their stuff it works in the real world and you don't have to assemble it!

Hi everyone - I'm thinking getting that but was just wondering one thing: once you've done the vanish do Sandsminds cover how you end up clean?
With the Raven for example you can show both of your hands front and back after the vanish - once you vanish a coin here the heat will be on your hand where the SA is and people will most likely want to see it, so what happens then (I've seen people comment that it's better than the Raven and that you can do so many more things with it so trying to understand). Thank you!
Ben

Also if you do the full uncovered vanish, you can go south to a back pocket metal plate or mag or lap, or hidden pocket or body pocket/fold, etc.

There are times where this is the best solution and I had to get a second one to use it. It allows a brief showing of the open palm before a total vanish. I may use this 1 in 10 times though. The gaff itself as made works and provides the misdirection needed in the startling vanish to give you cover to go south. Hope this helps!

Thank you yes very clear - wasn't 100% sure before whether there was something like that already in the system but understood it's not the case. Might also use a topit just to show a visual vanish and then ditch. Thanks that's helpful!

Kinda late to the party, but I just got the SA and I'm really enjoying learning how to use it. As some people have noted, it can be quite loud, and at first I was really disappointed as the extra m*****s that come with it make a loud thwacking sound when they hit the gimmick. But as I'm finding, the trick is to find just the right speed and distance from the object and it really is silent. Lightweight shim shells work really well with it. With the heavier stuff that makes the gimmick fall out of your hand, I'd recommend using some sort of tack or adhesive. If you have Event Horizon (similar-ish concept), Dannicus gives some good suggestions for tacks and adhesives in the tutorial.

I like the gimmick but what a long-winded explanation video, filled with poor examples, bad handling of the gimmick, many mistakes and so super slow and boring... I fell asleep. But it's still a great gimmick...

As an alternative to the Silent Assistant y'all might want to consider using this device ... The M-Snatcher

You know guys I have looked over all of these different devices. Friend of mine has the Silent Assistant. I tried it out for a day. This is exactly what I need! And you know I had to really look for this! This is not advertised on mainstream magic media. Took advantage of this!
People loved Silent Assistant and it became an instant hit in the magic community as it solves two crucial factors of traditional magnetic rings, opening up a new world of possibilities! In this special set, we have included 2 Silent Assistant Devices and 12 PK Disks. PK disks are not just regular magnetic disk. They are made with the same grade of rare earth magnet as PK ring. One of toughest and strongest magnetic material on the market. With this limited duo set, you can now do all the magic with BOTH hands. Fewer restrictions and more possibilities! A device hidden in plain sight. Perfect for all working environments. Doug https://www.theonlinemagicstore.com/coll......tant-duo |
