A mind-bending effect that alters reality in their hands. "Permanent Record" by Ben Seidman (creator of the bestselling effect "The Oracle System") and Vanishing Inc. is a jaw-dropping experience that will leave your audience questioning everything they know.

Without a doubt, the best way to get big reactions is by making magic happen in someone else's hands. "Permanent Record" not only allows you to do that, but it's almost unfair how easy it is to perform. A printed image changes in their hands, leaving them with an unforgettable memory.

You start by explaining how every deck of cards has a playing card printed on the box. Next, they are given the case to hold as they select a card from the pack. Your audience will lose their minds when they check the box again and see that the card printed on the box has transformed to match their selection.

The special gimmick and deck included with "Permanent Record" allow you to start performing this self-working miracle right away. In the nearly 1.5 hour video, Ben also shares how to perform "Permanent Record" with a normal deck and other bonus ways to use the gimmick to enhance routines you probably already do. You also get a devious secret that will improve your overall close-up magic, Dr. Jonathan Pickard's original, multi-phase "Ambideckstrous" handling and so much more.

You'll absolutely love performing "Permanent Record". It's a quick, easy, powerful effect that genuinely amazes everyone. Discover why Ben Seidman never leaves home without this in his pocket, and you shouldn't either.

"I love this"

"I'm in love with the practicality of the design. The change happens in the most organic way possible"
- Franco Pascali

"This is going straight into my, and everyone else's, strolling set. It's strong, fun, and super easy to do. I love it!"
- Chad Long

"This is A+ material for both professional and casual performances. On top of that, I can't believe Ben also included his CUPS technique as part of this release. It's not only dangerously good for 'Permanent Record', but nearly any close-up routine. That alone is worth the cost of the project."
- Bill herz

"Permanent Record is easy enough for beginners to fool their pals, but has enough interesting applications that professionals will be able to effectively add it to their repertoires. I like it!"
- Michael Close

TL;DR nice trick Report this review

I can’t overstate this enough, Ben’s instruction for this trick will make you more magical. He offers something in this video instruction extremely rare - real magical skill development. Any time over the past 40+ years, I would have paid any amount for this foundational lesson. Even with the $25 price tag may make you overlook this and say, “this isn’t for me”, “I don’t do trick decks”, etc., well, you’d be very mistaken.

Ben does explain the provided deck, the presentation, the whole megillah with nothing held back and it is a worker. But this is the amazing part, while as excellent as it is, and it is, it is merely the foundation for a practical example of focusing on an effect and thinking about how to achieve it via other means, from gaffed to hilt to near impromptu. This is an unbelievable real life example. This theory isn't new and is frequently covered in many magic books but so rarely with a real working example and never in such great detail and insight. This makes what Ben is really offering here something that this is not really a lesson on a singular trick but something for all your magic. Obviously, Ben does a better job than I am describing this, but I can only imagine his words and experience will provide serious students for many years to come with a map for self insight and step change improvement. Throughout Ben's explanation, he offers a model of the most effective, attainable, realistic approaches to becoming a mature, flexible, evolved thinking magician in the shortest time possible.
It doesn’t come with zero effort, you need to apply it. What Ben’s approach provides is a method, an example, and renewed belief, miracles can happen in your hands with just a deck of cards. I’m a hobbyist and maybe this understanding is common knowledge if you’re a Pro, but in my experience, this is an atypical and indispensable lesson on the evolution of skill that I would urge you not to pass by. You will be better for it. How many magic purchases can you say that about?
Vanishing Inc, the world standard for magic quality in effect and product, produced this item. And as always, Vanishing Inc has made Permanent Record as close to perfect in every way possible and they deserve some credit for that as well. Cheers to all!

This powerful effect can be added to any box of Bicycle Cards. 4 Gimmicks are included! The tutorial is really thorough, and very good.
