Vanishing Inc is great

Seriously. Great service and great downloads. This is probably the only site I download from.

They're two new hot videos, Sense-sational and More Memory Man, are excellent. I like all the things I've received from Vanishing Inc, and these are no different.

Sense-sational is simple in effect, simple in performance. The premise is excellent in that there is very little done by the magician. I think the principles are excellent - however I have yet to try the second and third reveals, but if you're like me, even semi decent culling won't make this impromptu - so the second reveal I simply use Buckley's excellent fan peek since it gives you the position for when you're dealing as well making it easy to "sense" where the card is, and the third reveal I use the LePaul peek - the peek is quick and you don't need to know the position for the card. I think these are acceptable changes because they still seem like you're doing almost nothing - showing a fan, and drawing a square with the spectator imagining the card.

Actually now that I'm thinking about it, there's no reason you can't do the lepaul peek for the third card, and then carry onto an impromptu presentation of Bannon's Dead Reckoning. I did a standalone effect for it using the premise taught by Cameron Francis in his Scammed Across routine, making it totally impromptu and more involved (well, I thought so anyways - gave me more room for patter). I would think the third reveal you could just let that spectator hold onto his card from the beginning, and then go on with the Francis/Bannon combo as a finale. You'd still be playing with the idea of "hearing", but I was going to make it like "psychic hearing". I dunno. I'll test it out.

More Memory Man is just plain awesome. Use of Bannon's Bullet Catcher is just superb context. I know MMM was published in a book, but I don't want to buy the other routines, I only really cared about this one (although I might get it in the future, anyways - Joel Givens seems like a very charming gentleman with a sexy southern accent even though I'm not gay).
