This is going to be the magic trick everyone is talking about this year - and for years to come. It’s not like anything else you’ve ever seen. Insanely visual, wholly unique and most importantly, truly magical.

What is it?

Silhouette by Tobias Dostal allows you to create a magical moment your spectators will never forget. Using a borrowed phone’s flashlight, you cast a shadow on the wall. Then, you can interact and manipulate that shadow. Yes, really. You read that right. Silhouette gives you the ability to play with shadows. You’ll be able to make them take things from your hand, to tickle you, to make shadows from things that are not there. It’s inexplicable. It’s amazing. It’s like nothing else you or your audiences have ever seen before.

What you get:

  • Twelve bespoke “shadows” you can operate and control
  • Tobias Dostal’s hour long, detailed video instructions
  • Twelve different routines to get you started - then you can let your imagination run riot

Things to remember:

  • You can any phone as a light source - and yes, it can be borrowed
  • The phone is not rigged
  • Instant reset
  • The method is as cool as the effect

Silhouette is a rare magic prop. It can be used by any type of magician, in almost any situation. Close up, parlour, stage, mentalism. A children’s entertainer could enthral an audience with this.

It’s a cliche, but you really are getting something that plays big but packs flat and you really are only limited by your imagination.

Cyril, Daniel Garcia, Angelo Carbone, Richard Sanders, Chris Korn and many many more are already raving about this saying things like:

“One of the most creative things I've seen in a long, long time.” “I absolutely love it. It's REALLY great” “That was the craziest thing I've seen” “This is one of the best close-up illusions that I have ever seen.”

It’s already setting the magic world on fire, and for good reason. Order you Silhouette today.

Customer reviews for Silhouette

Kenneth
I rarely write reviews, but for this product I couldn't help myself. Silhouette just arrived today and all I can say Holy **** is this thing amazing! It is rare these days to find something this original and this well made. I feel that every penny spent on this thing was a true investment. I have no doubt that I will be performing this every chance I get, and did I already say that this thing is amazing? Just get it, if you are disappointed then it is likely that you are the type of person that is disappointed even if you just won the powerball!

I'm reviewing something that is "in transit," but I just received the tutorial link. Holy Cow, I hate to flagrantly rip off "Jurassic Park's" John Hammond with a "spared no expense" line, but serious thought has been put into what is really--a very old principle.

I bought this, knowing I will use it for most likely one addendum to an already established routine. that alone pays for it. I hope Tobias is richly rewarded for his trouble, because he deserves it.
Bradyn
It really doesn't get better than this. This is a trick that most laymen will only see once in their lives. I was fortunate to get it early from Vanishing Inc, and my god is this trick fantastic. Now, this is definitely not something I would do straight out of the box. It wouldn't do it justice. It's graduation party season as of its release, and I was blessed to perform it in front of an audience. This stuff kills. Buy it. This product is high quality. You will not be disappointed.
Andrew
It's good. . . it's very, very good. HOWEVER, if the cell phone you use has more than one LED as a flashlight, the shadows become very blurry. the instructions deal with this issue very briefly but to get the best effect you'll need to use an older phone with a single bulb flash.
Brenden
This trick is great. It works well, you can use any phone. However, it is not 100% suitable for people like me who are left handed. So I have to practice a lot of things with my right hand which is hard. Also, if you have smaller hands this trick is a lot harder. But other than that it is very well made and the tutorial is done with perfection.
Matthew
There rarely comes a magic effect that's truly unique and different from everything else on the market. This is so creative and SO good. I will perform this with every chance I get. A fun idea to play with is to incorporate this with PK touches--and if you want to seriously freak your spectators out, combine it with EVP by Alan Rorrison.
Eric
You need a particular phone to get this to work. Depending on then phone used you need long hands. Popsockets kickstand phone cases effect this trick. I would not recommend.
Rich
The product it great. It does take some practice and it is hand coordination intensive but the effect is awesome. It's a bit too costly but for me it was money well spent.

  • Evan asks: is there a way to switch in-between gimmicks mid performance

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:There isn’t, you would need to choose prior to performance

  • Trevor asks: Does the light have to come from a phone or can you use a standard flashlight or similar?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:The main method requires a phone but with some work you might be able to use other devices

  • Perry asks: Key Question: does this require an iPhone, or can an Android phone produce the same effects at the quality shown in the trailer? Thanks

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It just requires a phone with a flashlight. There is no app involved.

  • John asks: Is it a download of any source. My phone is a phone,and i don't net on my phone?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes, you receive a download code.

  • Midhun asks: As shown in video, can we hold the shadow any persons hand? bcos the hands of different persons looks different.

  • Brian asks: I'm left-handed, so my card productions (and such) are much more proficient on the opposite side. Is there a 'advised' way to modify this for those that are left-handed?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:The gimmicks can easily work left handed, but the problem you may run into is the position of the light on the spectators phone, this would vary from phone to phone - or you could use your own phone that you have practiced with.

  • Mauro asks: Does it work properly with IPhoneX flashlight ?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Sure.

  • LAU asks: Does it matter about the size of your fingers? I have relatively small hands.

    • 1. Sgkyduyen responds:I have small hands too and it's a bit hard for me to do this effect but it's okay. I use an iPhone 5 and it's okay now
    • 2. Ceri responds:I have HUGE hands and the gimmick does not "fit" comfortably on my finger. I had to widen it. I could not get to grips with it and thus never performed it. :-(

  • Alexander asks: Without going into detail, does Silhouette require the help of an assistant?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It does not.

  • Geoff asks: what is the reset time to change between sillouette gimmicks? How many different ones could you demonstrate in a single performance?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:The reset is pretty quick. Out of sight, you could change from one to another in ten seconds or so. You get 12 gimmicks, but I would not personally use more than one in a single performance.
