After completely selling out at Magifest and Blackpool, “Thin Air” from Ignacio Lopez is finally available worldwide.
“Thin Air” is one of the most versatile utility devices we’ve ever offered. Hidden beneath the surface of this seemingly innocent silk lies one of the easiest and most practical ways to produce, vanish or switch playing cards, business cards, photos, lottery tickets, billets…or any other similar item.
Here are just a few ways to use “Thin Air”:
- Producing a full deck of cards for the perfect card magic opener
- An impossible torn and restored card effect using a signed playing card
- A squeaky clean business card or playing card transposition
- Switching hand-written notes for the easiest force ever
- Swapping out audience-filled lottery tickets for pre-filled lottery tickets featuring the winning numbers
- An incredibly fair and simple serial number divination with a borrowed bill
- Making coins magically appear prior to your favorite coin trick
- …and so much more!
“Thin Air” is elegant enough for a parlor magic performance while also being portable and durable enough for close-up magic. If you ever perform seated at a table, you’ll find that there’s even some bonus advantages built into the design of “Thin Air”.
Magicians and mentalists of any skill level will be able to use “Thin Air” in less than 60 seconds.
Each set comes with the expertly-crafted, premium “Thin Air” silk and complete instructions, including a dazzling playing card routine that showcases the full capability of “Thin Air”. You’ll also receive a special bonus video featuring a variety of other applications and will gain access to the exclusive “Thin Air” Facebook group where other magicians will share their most creative ideas.
Please Note: "Thin Air" does require a few seconds of prep prior to performing. As such, while it resets in seconds and can be used for close-up magic, it's not designed to be used for table-hopping.

Customer reviews for Thin Air (Ignacio López)
John
ThinAir is a great utility device to switch, vanish or appear many flat objects. It packs small, plays big. The black silk has an elegant, simple look. I highly recommend this for its wide adaptability and simple mechanism.
Jim
This is a really good review and positioning tutor for this setup. Sometimes the more subtle aspects of readying the gimmick for the trick are overlooked - but this explains in very simple terms the need to 'fold and flip' the trick for ANY preparation at all. I was just asking myself in my head, "What about the seam?" and here (or there) is the answer. Again - subtle - but so important.
Doug
I really like this. I am going to use it to open a performance. The silk will be sat on the table, then I'll produce my props. It's perfect!
Jordan
Very nicely made silk. Does exactly what it’s advertised to do. The “wiggle” part looks super cool and when the production happens it seems that much more impossible.
Joe
Beautiful prop and SUPER well made. It’s not everyday you find something beautiful enough to do on social media, yet practical enough to open a close up show with. It’s clear that if treated with care, it will last for years to come.
Kenny
I really love the concept and you can use this with multiple items, not just cards. The quality is very good........ but........ the shades of black are different on different parts of the silk which is very noticeable and really bothers me. I don't think a spectator will really notice or care but it is something that is there and is very noticeable. Overall I think this is a great prop to have, there are so many applications that it can be used for. The price might be a little high but not extremely over priced. I definitely would recommend this to everyone!
Jason
Creative idea, but not especially practical outside of being an opener that’s already set up and waiting on a surface. As for quality, fabric should’ve been heavier and more efforts could’ve been taken to both hide the secret and make the “move” easier to accomplish. Love ya guys, but this could’ve been done better.
Joe
Saw Sean as a problem before you show instructions very good
Joe
What a great utility item! It’s not often something that looks like trick photography on social media turns out to also be incredibly practical, usable, and DECEPTIVE for in person performances. Highest Recommendation!
Mukul
Trick thinair is simple and amazing , but the only problem is flashing, because it may be shown to gullible people with ease, but smart ones will definitely know that something is fishy with that flap of silk. And the moment you try another trick with this , they will know the whole idea behind it,the second issue is reset,which apparently can not be done before everybody eyes. Therefore not sure to use it in my routines.I feel sad when reputed magic companies don’t reveal shortcomings like such .
Patrick
The explanation is clear and concise. Lopez has a lovely accent and excellent English. This is a very pretty trick.
Troy
The effect is great and easy to perform. Like in the video trailer, it is exactly what you see and even fooled myself for a minute, haha. Graet opening effect and a couple other great ideas I got for this gimmick. All around five stars!!!! Get this one, you will not regret it. Worth the purchase price...
Danny
I have not performed with Thin Air, but will soon. The possibilities are endless. The video instructions are top notch. This is a great tool to produce, vanish or change items. Cannot wait until I am ready to show this to people. I already know they will be amazed and entertained.
Get this item. Lots of people say things like, "you will not be disappointed". I am not a professional, but a hobbyist. However, this is top notch. I have been doing magic as a hobby for over 50 years and I can definitely attest that this one will be in my shows for sure. Other effects wane with age or do not match everyone's style. This tool literally can be adapted for any style and I can confidently say, with a minimum of practice, anyone can be seen as a first class performer.
The video instructions from Lopez are good and give some basic handlings. The two videos produced by Vanishing Inc are exceptional and very informative. They are worth the price of the effect alone. Please give this one a try and I daresay you will be as thrilled as I am. There is a low number of effects produced that many magicians will get excited about, this one should be on every magician's wish list, it is truly that good. Take this old magician's word for it.

Glenn
Explained very well, and performed to make it easy to understand the tricks. Great price, and wonderful for beginners. This is an A+.
Aaron
I initially wasn’t going to get one because I knew exactly how it worked…..
However, it was priced right and the effect is pretty so I said why not.
Fools everyone I’ve shown it to and has left a mark on some folks which really suppressed me.
I’ve added this to the same box in my mind as a thumb tip, as I believe as obvious as it is to a magician…. It’s a brain fryer to a non-magician.
It’s fun to use and perform. Highly recommended

Very nice trick. Easy to do and fun. Fast and simple but well worth doing
Ben
Simple yet amazingly baffling. Love it.

Very nice, smooth silk. The video instruction is short and direct to the point. Well done, and I am every happy I made this purchase. The solid color makes this very unobtrusive so the audience is more likely to conclude you are using awesome slight of hand rather than a gimmick.
I use this to hide some gimmicks aces. So I conjure the faces in the Thin Air out of nowhere. It allows me to have a spectator take four aces from a deck. I vanish them and then replace with my cards.

This was on my wishlist for months before I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy it.
Though I could work out the concept before it arrived this is well made and great quality and I probably couldn't have made this myself for the same cost.
The only downside with the effect is there's no quick reset that can be done in sight of anyone and does require the reset to be done away from prying eyes which does then limit its use within a performance but it's a great opener if you have the chance to setup before

This is excellent and something that will definitely get used as opposed to laying in a bottom drawer.
The tutorials are clear, short and to the point but cover everything.

This effect is amazing, very easy to learn, even for beginers. The explanation is made very well and in depth so that anyone can understand it and perform the trick right out of the box. It is perfect for any card trick opener, but not just, with some practice, creativity and time it can be integrated in many card routines and tricks beside the ones teached in the download videos. I think it is an amazing product for a cheap price, worth to invest into and i cant wait to receive it, and get my hands on! For this price i am even thinking if i should buy a second one for the case this is gonna wear out, because i know i am going to perform with this hankerchief alot and adapt it probably at every card trick i know. I think every magician should know at least two or three hankerchief tricks and if you dont know any this will help you look like a pro magician who knows dozens of hankerchief tricks! This product will definetly improve your magic and take it a level further whitout any need to learn any new skill or sleight of hand, it does almost all the work by itself, it just needs a lil bit of preparation, but it is a hundread procent angle proof which means you can perform it completely sorounded. Just pack it out of your chest pocket and start doing some beautifull magic for your audience. Have fun whith it if you choose it! I know i will!
Gene
This a wonderful utility devise. You can show that there is nothing under it. Produce a deck of cards then make them dissappear and produce then under the handkerchief that you just showed empty. For me a great opening effect.
Mike
Great utility device. Looks like real magic when you perform it. Quality made and great tutorial. I was skeptical after seeing the demo but after playing with this for about a week I realized that this could be a pretty powerful yet easy to carry around too for card magic.
Chris
This additional explanation made the item much easier and more practical to use. From the instructional video alone, the setup was still a bit murky for me, so I really appreciate the clarification offered in here.
Gerhard
Nicely made product with a lot of potential. The quality of the material is good and the stitching is also done well. The tutorial is ok and the bonus material is very good. I have been playing with a few ideas in terms of how to use this this more impromptu. I can highly recommend the product it's good fun.
CB
I don't think it is very deceptive. There is a sheen on one side of the fabric, and the other side of the fabric is dull. Because of that discrepancy, the illusion does not work as well as it should....

T.J. asks: Is this similar to Mark Wilson’s thank you banner?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Thin Air is more of a utility prop for producing or switching flat objects under a silk (cards, billets, etc.). The Thank You Banner from Mark Wilson’s Complete Course in Magic is a specific effect where a banner changes to reveal the message “Thank You.”
Joshua asks: Does this have to be preset I. The table or can the silk be laid out as if empty in front of the audience?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:This would need to be set up before anybody sees it.
Frank asks: Hi, would it be possible to put a hardboard close up pad on top of the silk, so during your show, it looks like the silk is just decoration of a magian's table - until when you remove the pad, you perform the actual trick with it ? After the trick, would i be able to place everything back (not for reset, just for optics) ? Thanks !
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes this would be fine to do
Eliyahu asks: Could this be used similar to amaze box or clarity box to switch out a bunch of billets?
- 1. Eliyahu responds:I meant Crystal Billet Box obviously
Todd asks: Need the other half answered: could it make a Morgan coin disappear?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It would not work due to the sound.
Todd asks: Could this be used to vanish a coin - Morgan of walking liberty? Or make one appear?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It can make a coin appear for sure!
Perry asks: Hello, can this be used to switch out a deck of cards in its box? A deck switch?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:That is possible but it might be a little bulky. It's better with flat objects.
Robert asks: Is the silk too large or thick to be vanished after the production/reveal using a TT?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes.
Micah asks: Is lapping required?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Depending on the routine you'd like to do.
