This is a trick for social media only. It makes a lot of noise and is easy to spot when it's
"vanished'. Regardless of what anyone says, it can NEVER be done in a walk around setting. The reset
has to be done hidden, so it goes in the bin for me.

I try not to just belittle magic tricks, but this one is not good. The angle( singular because if
you move slightly you flash the whole gimmick) is horrible. If you do this trick anywhere that had
lights you will see a giant crease in the gimmick giving it away.I thought it would be a good trick
to start with but there's so many issues that with it. I practice tricks on my wife before going and
walking around and preforming them I started with that first thing she sa id "that was eh" then
proceeded to explain exactly how the gimmick worked. She has no clue about magic she didn't watch me
practice with this she was able to just figure it out. Save your Money and buy something else.

YES it does make a noise...however I am a show performer I use a PA system and a microphone. So this
is no problem. Just clap the stock and poof there goes that noise. You will not be doing strolling
or table to table because of the reset. Does not take long to reset but can't be done in front of
anyone on the fly. It is very well made it is so visual and again this is for the show performer. I
love it!

After playing with this for a few days, this is definitely one of the most fun gimmicks you can buy.
Ive preformed this a few times and it works great irl. The deck is totally examinable at the end
which is great! Overall I highly recommend this. Ppl love watching It, and I love preforming it!
Cant wait to see more of Wills material.

Let me start by saying that since I gave this effect 4 stars I obviously like it. I waited until I
could film myself performing and utilizing it a couple of shows before posting a review. The
reactions are very good, exactly what I'm looking for.
I'll start with the things that
have pointed out in other reviews.
1) I have performed it close-up, but I really don't
think it works best in that format. Even though the gimmick is well built, I think it works best
when you have a least 6-10 feet of separation between yourself and spectators.
2) It is a
little noisy, but I'm not overly concerned about that, because I think that's another reason to want
a little separation, also in almost every venue I've performed at, there is some ambient noise to
help cover the moment of truth. Finally, let's remember that were making 4-5 decks of cards
disappear. Is it really that shocking that there would be some kind of noise? Lay people are not
going to figure this out. I am the most paranoid person on the planet when it comes to lay people
trying to reverse engineer or track back how something is done. It's not happening here.
What I really like about this:
1) When I got this, I worked really hard with it.
Probably performed the effect 200 times over the course of a few days while practicing. The gimmick
still looks good, and I think this is built to last. You have to take care of it, but overall, very
solid.
2) Being able to customize this to multiple this without any real Arts & Crafts is
HUGE for me.
3) It gets a great reaction, and leaves audiences stunned.
Bottom
line is:Remember what you're getting here. For most people this a quick eye-candy opener, or intro
to your first card effect.
If I could give this 4.5 stars I would. I took off one star,
because I can appreciate the concerns of doing this as closeup effect, even though as I said, I
haven't had any issues.
One of the very rare occasions that I was able to open the box and perform the this amazing effect
in minutes..! I love it! It is my opening act!
Vanishing Point is a well made gimmick that has that Wow factor when the 4 Decks Vanish !
Being
able to use Any Deck as the 5th Deck brings the effect to another level.
William even gives you
the little extras should you decide to alter your gimmick.
Thus is well worth the price !!!!!
