This looks great, the teaching by Nicholas is awesome as usual, this will take a little practice to
get this to look as good as the trailer, but it can be done. I am an older magician, and my hands
are very dry, so it was difficult to work the gimmick properly, I put a tiny piece of two-faced tape
on it so my thumb would not slip, it worked great and makes the process smooth - I think the price
is a smudge high but it has Mr. Lawrence's name on it. Well Done, very nice illusion.

This trick is amazing! It has so so so many positives, and very little negatives. I’m going to list
everything here. Let’s start with the positives. This is SO fun to practice! I find this gimmick him
my hands more than anything else now. And I buy a lot of magic. Speaking of the gimmick, it’s not
what I was expecting. It’s better! This is exactly how the vanishing card should look like. Idk if
you guys know this that sansminds kinda took Nicholas idea. Well there vision is so much worse. Also
this gimmick is not made out of card! It’s made out of a plastic type of material. But this is a
great thing. One it looks like a real card so no issues there, but because of the material it’s SO
much stronger and easier to use. Another positive is that this CAN be done irl (in real life) there
isn’t that many angle restrictions. Just keep the people infront of you and that’s it. They can even
be at an angle as well! Institutions are also great. But I do wish that they tough how to make the
gimmick incase you don’t wanna use a ride bicycle back. Ok now let’s get to the negatives. (There
aren’t many) first this is that when u get this, the edges are a little sticky. It makes it a little
harder to ditch and preform. BUUUUT that goes away after you play with it for a little bit. Another
this is that this isn’t that easy. This WILL take some practice. You’ll get it down at one point
where u can do this 100% all the time. But when u first get this it will take practice. Also, I
wouldn’t recommend this trick for anyone that has really small hands. When the gimmick is in your
hand, it’s not the smallest. So if u have small hands, maybe wait a little bit until your hands are
bigger. I have smallish hands and it’s works perfectly fine for me. But if u have small hands, edges
of the gimmick may be peaking out. So just be aware of that. Overall, this truly is a great trick
and extremely fun to preform. Would I recommend this?
Absolutely :)

Excellent gimmick, excellent study, highly recommended, although I had an idea what the gimmick
looked like and I was right it's still crazy ..

Firstly, a big thanks to Penguin for sending me an updated item as the first one I received was
broken and didn't work at all (hence the initial poor review on my part).
With the new
card, I've been able to use this and pull off the vanish with folks online and had some jaws drop :)
I wish I could manage a cleaner switch at the end, but I guess this comes with time and practice
though.
Regardless, great product, great customer service and highly recommended!

Well, I didn't like it, I freaking loved it! Nicholas Lawrence is the Man! It will take a little
time the perfect it but it is worth it. My prediction for 2022, is the best visual card effect of
the year.

This is fun to learn and fun to practice, and practice and practice. It works the way you think it
does although the mechanics are not obvious from the promo vid. Nick's explanation is short and to
the point but lacks explanation for all the fingering and timing which create the illusion. These
things can be gleaned by rewatching and focusing on finger angles, etc. I did not subtract a star
for this, although 5 more minutes of explanation would have been nice. I have not performed live but
clearly, watching out for angles, this could be done close, even close up.

This is so simple but yet hard hitting it looks like real magic. Get it while you can you wont
regret it. Great job Nicholas.

This is a real visual vanish. The instructions are good. The gimmick is good. The gentleman who puts
this out does a very nice demo. I like the Demo from my friend and fellow New Yorker MAGICK BALAY.
For me this trick does not work because the last move is what sells it. For me my hands are just a
little too small, I can do the move with a small coin but not the gimmick. MAGICK BALAY is a great
sleight of hand artist and bigger than I am and in his hands and the hands of the creator looks
likes real magic. If your hands are a little bigger than mine or you have good sleight of hand you
will be ok.

I found it extremely difficult trick to master, I don't think I will ever be good enough to fool
people with this trick I find it is not for me, and the gimmick was not the best made so that's why
I have given it a 4.
