It's rare to find practical, visual parlor magic, and rarer still to find good opening effects. With "Heist" you have a perfect, magical and impressive opener for your parlor show. Based on Tommy Wonder's classic "Ring, Watch, Wallet" effect (a trick with a one-hundred year history), Irish stand-up comedian and magician Jack Wise has reimagined the workings of this trick so that they are far more practical and reliable than previous versions. After years of honing this trick in comedy clubs and stages across Europe, Vanishing Inc. Magic is proud to present "Heist."

  • A quick, impressive opener using props that you wear!
  • Perfect for close-up and stand-up performances
  • Includes all required props (including good quality gimmicked watches and wallet)
  • Features three handlings and two funny fully-scripted professional presentations
  • Complete with everything you need all inside a beautiful storage case
  • Detailed instructional download featuring Jack Wise and Andi Gladwin
The plot is simple and stunning: you place your watch, ring, and the money from your wallet inside an envelope. In a flash, you tear up the envelope and allow the pieces to flutter to the floor! Then you instantly show the watch back on your wrist, the money back in your wallet, and the ring back on your finger. A quick, impressive opener for stage or close-up!

Along with Jack Wise's full presentation and handling, you'll learn two strong methods from Andi Gladwin (please note that one requires a PK Ring) and his "Modern Crime" presentation that makes the opening of your show interactive, funny and jaw-droppingly magical.

Some of the top professional magicians in the world have already been using "Heist" as a feature of their show. It is now finally available.

"If Occam took a razor to Tommy Wonder's masterpiece, Heist would be the result! A tiny amount of method creates a massive effect"
- Steve Thompson

"One of the most practical, thought out, and fooling versions of Ring, Watch and Wallet. I've been using Heist in every show."
- Kyle Marlett

Great effect Report this review

(This review is for Heist by Jack Wise )
This effect is very strong and very effective once everything is figured out. The only reason it got 4 stars is the ditch of the watch and the money when its supposed to go into the envelope. Your hands have to be at the perfect angle, or you risk the audience seeing the ditch or even worse the gimmick snagging on your jacket. Once the gimmick placement is perfected and the angle is taken care of, it will only take a few hours to be doing it like a pro. I personally like the tips and handling by Andi Gladwin as well.

After months of searching for tommy wonders original gimmicks, only to lose it in an eBay bid, I was at wits end! I dnt have the expertise to make them myself, so I essentially gave up. Till jack here came along. The gimmicks simplify the method, the teaching is beautifully done, I am VERY pleased with the whole effect. Such relief too, I perform it EVERYWHERE!

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 28th, 2015
(This review is for Heist by Jack Wise )
Thrilled that someone finally put this out, I'm not a prop builder or a watch maker, if you have seen the Tommy Wonders DVD on this or read the books of wonder there is a lot going on with his version of the trick and it's awesome. This product is well thought out and can go into your show with a bit if practice. It is a mind bender to the audience no question, and I highly recommend buying this product.

I would have given it 5 stars however when I removed the watch from the packaging and put it on for the first time the metal strap broke right in the middle. I wanted to perform this right away and ended up replacing both bands at a watch repair shop before I could even practice. I contacted PM who told me to return the entire set for a replacement, but I had already spent $40 replacing the bands. This was a defective band and I have heard no other complaints about the quality of the props. Other than that I really like this effect and put it straight into my show. The method is even more simplified than Tommy Wonders and I am happy with my purchase.

To be able to purchase the props and perform a fantastic Tommy Wonder effect is a true gift. I have two sets because if anything ever happened to my primary set I would be heart broken. There is genius behind this ...

Heist is a well packaged effect. The gimmicks are convincingly real. The method is a bit angley and this effect will take some space in your jacket, which must be worn.
I truly love the patter. I speak of my grandpa in muxh of my routine and have used this premise to weave my effects together so it fits in that regard. Jack Wise has comedic stylings that are very similiar to my "blue" sense of humor.
The bonus material routine could be used as a bar bet all though I ve only watched that part once. That routine is a bit more "corporate" as well.
This effect would work on the streets in a cooler climate. On stage. At the pub. The reset isn't complicated but getting it done in front of specs may be troublesome but not undoable.
This is an effect I plan to use often.
The price is not cheap, but worth the blue Benjamin.

His presentation really sucked I mean really bad. His horrible presentation aside, I didn't really like the new handling because if you were placing items in a envelope you wouldn't have it that close to you. Tommy Wonder made it look real and that's how it would look if you were placing items in. I'll stick with the Tommy Wonder handling. Maybe some will like this, but it's just not for me and the price is extremely high considering this all could be made on the cheap.
