"Catch" gives you magical powers that once felt like they were only possible on the big screen.

"I love this gimmick. It does all of the hard work while you get to take all of the credit."
- Tom Elderfield

Close your eyes and picture yourself being able to truly make a coin vanish from your hand. Really take a moment to envision what it would look like if you had magical powers.

Got it?

Now, open your eyes and watch the trailer. For many of you, what appears in that video is probably quite similar to what you created with your mind movie. And that's exactly what Vanishing Inc. was going for when they created "Catch".

This revolutionary gimmick allows you to place a coin on your legitimately empty palm and cleanly close your fingers around it before opening them just a brief moment later to show that the coin has completely vanished. No fishy movements or awkward tells. Just pure magic.

"Catch" can be used with either hand and works with all types of pocket change from a variety of different countries and currencies. You can even borrow or sign the coins. The gimmick is easy to use and doesn't have any fragile moving parts or magnets.

Once the coin is secure in the "Catch" gimmick, an innovative locking system keeps it secured in place until you wish to release it. That's right. "Catch" not only vanishes coins, but allows you to produce them as well-making it the perfect utility for transpositions, changes, or any of your other favorite coin tricks.

The coolest part of this gimmick is that you can do it with your sleeves rolled up (but you will need to wear something like a watch or wrist strap to hold the gimmick). It's an unobtrusive gimmick that is ready to go as soon as you need it.

Each "Catch" gimmick comes with access to a nearly 40-minute download offering a variety of handlings and uses.

Good idea, but doesn’t work for me Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 29th, 2021
I’m sure that this gimmick will work fine for many people, but not everyone as it just didn’t work for me at all.

Note that the gimmick is 1-3/16 inches wide. This is much wider than the watch bands I normally wear (mostly Tag Heuer and a few other mid-level luxury brands). The gimmick is very visible and nearly impossible to conceal unless that watch band is 1-3/16 to 1-1/4 inches wide.

The other problem is that the shape of the muscles on my palm make it nearly impossible to perform the vanish. The base of my palm has prominent hump/curve (probably from playing guitar for 40+ years) which causes the coin to jump over the band/gimmick. I’ve practiced for three hours and was maybe 5 percent succesful, and that was only with a very exaggerated movement. A 95 percent failure rate does not inspire confidence. If you have flat palms the vanish shouldn’t be a problem, but my muscular palms just don’t provide the smooth sliding action needed.

The only aspect that worked for me was making the coin appear in my palm. However, I could easily do the same thing with only a wide watch band (i.e. the size needed to conceal this gimmick) so the gimmick isn’t really necessary. Unfortunately this was a waste of $25 for me. YMMV.

Cannot get it to work reliably Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 16th, 2021
This is fairly decent, but it takes a LOT of practice to get the flow correct, but it is worth while.

Works fine with my existing jewelry (made by a fruit company) and various accessories of differing sizes.

Only suggestion would be to make it a bit higher (at least for me). In order for it to work better (for me) I generally place one or two pennies underneath it.

I still cannot get to it flow reliably yet to use in a performance, but I will keep trying for another couple of weeks.

Good Idea but Big Gimmick Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 22nd, 2022
Ideas are great but seriously the gimmick was disappointing, the only color of watch strap that works are black and even that might not so call "camouflage" the gimmick well.

Its just bigger than normal watch straps and that makes it stick out abit, especially after performing it sleeveless, the only area that is expose is the wrist where the watch is.

Trust me and I perform regularly, this looks good in the trailer but not a real world thing, really good for social media though.

MagicOrthodoxy's review was good but I don't think he is a performer from the reviews he has on tricks, especially on this one, I believed his review and I know now from buying this.

More reviews on other tricks coming, I own so many tricks and its time to help everyone save money.

Ad misleading Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 21st, 2021
I hate leaving negative reviews. I ended up buying this from another supplier. The cool vanish from the commercial isn't for the stage. Honestly there is nothing here that can't be done with proper coin sleights. The target is so small that the there is a greater probability that you'll miss it and the coin goes flying. Cool concept, just a headache to work with.

Excellent Method and Gimmick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 2nd, 2021
I was lucky enough to pick this one up right away before they sold out.

This is one great tool! Yes, you need a watch or band of some kind, I personally don't see how a bunch of rubberbands would work but if you can make it happen, that's awesome.

You WILL have to practice since it's all about "feel" and that's all I can really say. You also need to trust the gimmick to do it's job. I get a bit nervous that it won't and that is when the quarter goes on it's own little adventure across the floor. I find when I trust the gimmick (and myself) the one handed vanish is pretty easy.

Well worth it for the number of vanishes you can achieve and the variety of ways you can achieve them.

The video is well done and no more or less than it needs to be.

Highly recommended!

Clever and simple! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 1st, 2021
Finally a nice vanish as long as you have a darker colored watch strap!
Yes this is practical. Sometimes the coin slides out of the gimmick unexpectedly but you can kind of control it for the most part.
I like this and it’s worth getting. $25 is a decent price point as well. Instructions are really well taught (35 minutes or so)
It’s worth it! Little bit of practice needed not too too much.

needs to be a hair wider Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 11th, 2022
These gimmicks are 3D printed for sure. They should make another size or make it so it can accept a 50 cent piece. Using a quarter just isn't as impressive. Also makes some noise and is best used in a louder environment. Yes, it takes some practice to hit the mark, but once you hit it....you'll love it. Some refinements please?

This device works as advertised and with some practise I think it will be an impressive effect. The teaching is very well done.

Great catch Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 7th, 2021
I love this gimmick. I'm a novice and I was able to start using catch with success in only a couple days of practice. Because of this I've started wearing a watch full time again, which grounds me in my generation but is well worth it. I'm absolutely a fan of the simplicity, the immediacy, and the reaction.
