iVanish

What makes a trick an instant classic of magic?

It takes several components. First, you must have an incredible method that fools everyone. Second, you need an emotional hook that insures that your audience cares about watching your performance. But the one thing that really makes a trick a classic is that it gets an incredible reaction...guaranteed.

iVanish meets and exceeds all three components.

First let's talk about the methods. There are three methods included in iVanish and each method is totally different from the others. In fact the solutions are so different that each method absolutely cancels out the other two! This is great for repeat performances.

Each method is incredibly clean. You hands are completely empty immediately after each vanish. All three methods are done standing. Of course you can use iVanish while seated but there is no lapping. Each vanish actually looks like trick photography!

One of the best features of iVanish is that all three methods are really easy to perform, in fact anybody can do it! I know many magicians are afraid of visual coin magic but iVanish does not require years of knuckle busting practice. You'll be up to speed in no time at all!

Second, what's the emotional hook that iVanish creates that will guarantee you're audience will be riveted to your performance. It's simple. When we're all kids we've had it drilled into our heads to never, ever put anything into your eye. Using the iVanish techniques you'll be able to rub or shove a coin directly into your eye! People are forced to watch. Some squirm, some will wince, many will cringe but they'll all watch. It's like a car wreck. Everybody slows down to see what's going on. iVanish is part geek, part magic but 100% a showstopper. They simply have to watch. It's human nature.

Third, is the reaction. iVanish isn't standing ovation type material. It's "Oh, my God" material. People absolutely freak.

iVanish can be applied to many routines as a great solution or addition. For instance, it's a tremendous solution to the last coin in a 3 Fly routine. It can be used to great effect in any one coin routine such as Slydini's or Gary Kurtz's Flurious. The applications are almost endless.

The iVanish DVD contains a live show that combines iVanish with an idea from the legendary Mac King that destroys the audience. The reaction is through the roof. The routine is logical, amazing and disgusting...it's wonderful.

Now we'd like to introduce you to the creator of iVanish, Ben Seidman. Ben has been in the Las Vegas underground for the last few years. He recently graduated from UNLV with a degree in Theater. Ben is a tremendous magician that oozes talent and when he's not busy creating miracles for us he's working full time as a magic consultant for Criss Angel's Mindfreak show. iVanish is his first release to the magic community but he's got a lot of other cutting edge magic in his brain. You'll be hearing a lot about him very soon.

Here are some answers to some common questions.

Q: Can iVanish be performed with dollar?
A: Yes, iVanish can be done with quarters, half dollars or dollar sized coins.

Q: Can iVanish be done with objects other than coins?
A: Yes, but there are limitations. We can't give too many details without spilling the all of the beans but you have to take size, weight and shape into consideration. For instance you could do it with a poker chip. A shard of broken glass may not be a good object...

Q: Can I perform iVanish with a borrowed coin?
A: Yes. Ben goes into extreme detail on the subject

Q: Is iVanish angle proof?
A: Yes and No. Each method has it's own strengths and weaknesses. For instance Ben's original method isn't angle proof for 360 degrees but it's very practical for the real world. 90% of the time Ben uses the original iVanish technique. However the second technique is called iBlind. As stunning as iVanish is and it really is stunning iBlind takes it up a notch. However the price you have to pay is it's not quite as practical. iDitch is 100% angle proof and is stunning too.

Q: I'm new to magic. Do I need other reference materials to learn what's taught on the iVanish DVD?
A: No, everything you need to know is explained in minute detail. Nothing is left out. The DVD was shot in the HD studio at Bob Kohler Magic.

Q: Can I purchase the iVanish DVD and perform it on my TV special?
A: No, the television performing rights are strictly reserved. Contact Bob Kohler Magic.

Alakazam is proud to release the debut material by one of the best underground card magicians in the world: Benjamin Earl. For years, Ben has been one of Europe's top professional performers and innovative creators. Like many of these quiet achievers, he has previously avoided magicians, conventions and all attempts to get him to share his original material. Until now...

We can't tell you how they managed it, but you'll be very pleased that they did! This new DVD set comprises three volumes of startling, original material that will surely find its way into the repertoires of hobbyists and professionals alike.

Disc One features Ben's imaginative handlings for several of card magic's classic plots. Do we need new versions of Collectors, Hofzinser's Aces and Triumph? We do when they are this eye-popping! As well as these fantastic new approaches to traditional plots, this disc also contains many original flourishes and sleights as well as all the work on Ben's 'Stroke Change', which looks like trick-photography even when you know how it's done. Best of all, this incredible change, like almost all the material on this disc, is easily within the reach of any intermediate card handler.

Disc Two focuses on gambling and card table material. As a true student of the art, Ben has been refining and advancing card table artifice for many years. The finessed handlings and methodological advances that he demonstrates and teaches on this disc comprise some of the most important contributions to this branch of card magic by a new voice for many years. Fans of 'the real work' will be delighted by Ben's decision to share these prized techniques.

Disc Three contains a wealth of Ben's mental card magic, a style which he prefers to perform these days. There are several fantastic and totally practical handlings for Think-A-Card as well as versions of Mental Poker and Brainwave that break entirely new ground. Impossible Locations and Thought Card To Pocket handlings which fool absolutely everyone ensure that the only problem you'll have with Ben's material is which tricks to leave out of your performance!

Tac Tics

Effect

A tic tac box is shown empty all the way around. You take the coin and slam it on the tic tac box. You can see and hear the coin melting through the plastic and end up inside the container. Your hands are clean after the coin penetrates the box. Immediately give away the box with the coin inside to your spectator. There's nothing to find out. Your spectators can keep the tic tac with the coin trapped inside. Forget everything you have seen.
This is: Pure.Visual. Magic.

Easy to do
100% examinable
No holes in the box
Can be performed surrounded
You end up clean
Give away the tic tac with the coin!

The effect is simple and very effective. Anyone can perform this truly amazing miracle.

The DVD features UK's successful performer Jonathan Egginton teaching the most VISUAL coin through tic tac box EVER. Period.

Note from Manufacturer: "Since producing this DVD we have found that Brain Platt published a similar effect on another DVD. We believe our method to be original and any similarity to Mr. Platt's effect is purely coincidental."
