This is new for us: we have assembled six of our very favorite close-up card tricks to perform, by six Vanishing Inc. artists, into one download FULL of useable material. The material was chosen for ease of handling, impact on an audiece, and the creator's preferences. In other words, these are some of the CREATOR'S favorites.

Traditionally this 1 hour, 20 minute download would sell for $25 or more. But it's entirely FREE. We WANT you to love these creators, and learning magic via download. So enjoy for the next seven days, and let us know how the tricks go over with people!

Think a Think by John Carey: Renowned for his hard-hitting card magic, this is perhaps our favorite John Carey effect. It's the best impromptu Do-as-I-Do effect we know, and it's easy as pie.

Biddleless by John Guastaferro: John G is a perennial favorite at Vanishing Inc., and John has suggested Biddleless for inclusion in this collection. It's a natural, relaxed, and powerful handling on a trick you might already think you know, but using a move by John Bannon makes the whole thing much slicker.

Flash Mix by Bebel: France's Bebel is as innovative as he is smooth. He is rarely seen on video, and this is a stunning, quick sequence to add to your favorite Oil and Water routine.

Queen Revelation by Mark Elsdon: This is a lovely routine of mindreading and card selection...wherein you end with the location of four Queens.

Credit Guard by Chris Rawlins: What a clever idea! It's Russian Roulette with a borrowed credit card, ending by predicting the last four digits of the credit card itself.

Out of this World presentation by Luke Jermay: An expert's treatise on presenting and refining this classic effect.

I was really surprised at how good the material is on this download. I mean most companies (not that many) have a free video download of some kind or other. However it will not have much in the way of newer magic or very high caliber magic so this was a real treat coming from a place that always takes care of those that are most important...the customer. Thank you Jay and Andi for all your thoughtful gestures.
tony
Thank you. I have enjoyed this download. Very nice of you guys to putt this on for free.
Marco
The material in this download is very good: practical and well explained. Many thanks for making it available for free even this late (Jan. 2019)!
Andy
It's a great idea to give away these insightful downloads, out makes me want to get more! I love the fact that you can get the rationale behind performance techniques. Once you understand why a performer presents their trick, you can refine it to your own style. This download reveals how what might seem like apparently superfluous moves are crucial for misdirection or convincing, and enables you to look at these tricks with new eyes, which has inspired me to take a fresh approach with a few classics I'd forgotten about.
Howard
Easily worth paying for. Here's my review and also TIMES for when each trick starts.

Opening trick: Think-a-Think by John Carey. Worth watching just for the bold force technique.

07:29: Queen Revelation Mark Elsdon. Didn't care for this personally - lots of deal into packets, now move this card, now do this. It's a decent self worker that happens mostly in the spectator's hands but I can't see myself using it as my first impression holds - lots of procedure. The 'kicker' of producing all 4 queens at the end is the best part of the effect, and there are good bits in the methods though. Just over all not for me.


12:47: OOTW Luke Jermay. He doesn't discuss the method, but he does give some good thoughts on performance. This is such a good trick it's always nice to see variations of it. A shame he doesn't discuss his method because it looks uber-clean.


24:52: Biddleless by John G. Really nice way to reverse the chosen card in the deck. So easy and natural-looking.


30:10: Credit Guard by Chris Rawlins. Long winded as a video, but in person I can see it holding your attention as the stakes are high. The methods are blindingly simple but he gets a lot of mileage out of them.


1:11:37: Flash Mix by Bebel. A stunningly fast triumph effect. Presentation and explanation in French, but subtitled. A few actual sleights here! But nothing too complicated.


Final thoughts: The highlights for me are the Flash Mix and the Think-a-Think force. Both deserve practice. Probably Flash Mix is the best of the bunch, but it's also the hardest. The Think-a-Think force is bold and looks like great fun to perform but in all honesty there are so many ways to force a card it's not really necessary to learn another in my opinion. I think the hidden gem is probably Biddleless - deserves a rewatch.
Steven
Thanks for the variety of working effects.
Piers
I agree

Great!
Jamil Farhan
This download is magic at its finest. The tricks are very impressive, even though the methods are simple. Specially, the Credit Guard routine is a true fooler and it became one of my absolute favorites at first sight. The tips regarding the Out Of This World routine are also extremely helpful. Extremely grateful to Vanishing Inc for making this a free download; this could sell for at least $100. An excellent download!!
Justin
A good mix of material, including some mentalism and a variety of card routines. Three of the card routines feature the spectator handling the cards extensively, which is nice.

Of course it's free, so the real question is, why are you reading this review?
Travis
Thanks, great explanations with impressive effects.

richard
Great stuff loved it
Will
Vanishing inc is so generous to give this project for free. All of these tricks are reputation makers. The instant mix by Bebel is my favorite. There is a good mix of stuff for beginners and advanced people. Don't pass this by just because it is a free giveaway.
Luciano
Great material! There are 4 card routines and at least one of them you will feel like presenting every now and then. Some of them you might add to your regular presentations,
and others can just stay on your mind for impromptu situations. The "Credit Guard" routine is very nice and can play very big, besides the simple method.
Jim
As per usual, Vanishing Inc is going above and beyond. This is a free download and there is strong stuff here. I am always amazed at the things that Vanishing Inc gives out for free. It makes me think they really do care about magic and not just profit. That being said, I'm more likely to support a company that puts their customers above profits.
MJ
Really Enjoyed the Variety of Effects, Great Mix of Mentalism Style and Card Effects, will be using in my routines
Graham
I bought this solely for think-a-think by John Carey. This effects is a fantastic thought-of-card divination which is hard hitting and easy to do. I loved it.
James
Such an incredible wealth of material for free! There is so much stuff on this download, o end up coming back to it pretty often. I’m so blown away by the quality of material they’re giving away here.
Micah
This is a great free download that gives you some tricks. You get a do as I do variation, a trick with the four queens, Luke Jermay's out of this world routine (the best one I have ever seen), a trick with envelopes, and a trick with red and black cards. This is an amazing download and you should definitely get it.
Oliver
Great tricks here, surprised they are doing this for free because as they mentioned, this would usually go for £25. Also surprised on how good the material is on this. Thanks VI, everyone should get this
Arthur
Kind of Cool.
Joseph
nice tricks you surely use
Paul
Very good effects. Simple and straight-forward methods. Thank you.
Jeff
Some very interesting techniques.
I was happy to watch these effects in action and grateful to have them made available to me.
Thank you good people!
There is nothing better than observing another’s performance and insights to improve your own.
Gerald
Yet another free video download form vanishing inc. I really love these. And i am also a huge Luke Jermay fan. He teaches not the technique but the theories on how to present the trick better and i think that is far more important.
Johnny
I don’t know why my tutorial on wonder aces don’t work
Rob
I enjoyed watching this. Thanks
Jason
Another great gift from the great VI team - Thank you!
Curtis
A solid download for no cost. The styles of tricks are a good variety so many people should find something that they like. I do wish the Out of This World came with an explanation of the method (all other tricks do), but the presentation tips are superb still. Can't complain for a free download.
Navadeep
Very interesting
Neeraj
A great gesture by Vanishing Inc of providing this gem for free. The material presented is very impressive and nicely done. The suggestive nature on various tricks and the rationale behind the performances is something anyone could benefit from and makes one wonder how they could incorporate these ideas into their own routines.
Dale
There are real gems in here that are sure to please most card enthusiasts!
Jordan
All these tricks made me learn new things. I got shocked by all of the tricks and it was pretty fun to watch and learn the tricks. The tricks they showed were amazing and I started to do one of the tricks with my playing cards. I love magic so much and learning those tricks I got a better understanding about magic. I appreciate the hard work that was put in this. Keep me being shocked. Thanks for all you do.
Kevin
Wow this was great! For something free you can't go wrong! The 4 queen production is so easy, and Bebel's oil and water phase is so visual- I will definitely be working on that! The method on gaining the credit card number is genius! I recommend this to anyone and everyone who wishes to add some more quality to their magic!!! Thanks to Vanishing inc for this generous free download!!!!!
Jonathan
Sweet routines. I’m going to study this one.
Joseph
this really had some great tricks on it i was pleasantly surprised.
Jae Won
A collection of very interesting card tricks with detailed and clear explanations for all of them. Feels like I shouldn't get all these for free! I would recommend it for especially beginners in card tricks or someone who wants to find some fun routines
Yehuda
A very, very, generous gift from vanishing inc, once again! A loved the ideas which went into producing this unique video, and greatly enjoyed the variety, yet unwavering quality, of the tricks shown in the video. I love this company, because they simply keep putting out more and more video downloads, which suit all different levels of talent, and skill. Shout out to vanishing inc once again
Kane
This is worth it all for bebel and gustafero! Everything else is nice too but I’m going through it a second time and anything from bebel to me is a gift and gustafero is so concise with his work. Thanks VI
James
Everything looks to be great. I will try them out. In the next few weeks, if I can.
Enrique

lachlan
this video was adequate because it showed a few tricks, it would have been better if all the tricks were in english and if they all showed how they explained how the trick worked, overall, this video was a good video if the magican was experienced in performing
John
Amazing free video with some fantastic routines and techniques that anyone can easily include in their own arsenal
Vince
Fantastic download. The effects performed are incredible and the explanations are very clear with the exception of the effect Luke Jermay performs. I hightly recommend this and it is free. A+++++++++++++++++
