This is a 14 minute download from Vanishing, Inc., the new website run by Andi Gladwin & Joshua Jay. The download (filmed exceptionally well, I might add), features the magic of South American magician Ernesto. And this guy is good! Four very useful moves are taught as well as a very cool trick called Estimating Joker. Rather than describe the moves and effect, go here to watch them:
http://www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic-d......yvideo=1 As you can see, really top notch stuff. Now, I'm not a move monkey. While I occasionally enjoy learning esoteric sleights, unless I can use them in the context of a trick, I quickly forget them. However, I feel Ernesto's stuff is stuff I can use to replace certain sleights I already use. And they're not super hard, either (LOVE the stab force). The download is $10. That's right, four sleights and an awesome trick all for only $10. I know of plenty of sites (well, two in particular) that would have sold each sleight separately for at least $10. This is a real bargain, IMHO. I should also say that Vanishing, Inc. is a fantastic site overall. Why? Because they hand pick what they sell and they only sell workers material. In the words of Dennis Miller, "I don't mean to go off on a rant, here..." but this is an online store everyone should have bookmarked. I see so many threads dedicated to over-hyped, pipe-dream stuff on the Café. Huge threads dedicated to junk that no one will ever perform in the real world. Along comes a great site like Vanishing, Inc. and I barely read anything about it or it's products. Guys, it's Joshua Jay and Andi Gladwin. These guys are SMART and know good magic when they see it. They sell fantastic items, some old, some new but all really, really good. And for each item, they tell you WHY they carry it (This is one of my favorite features on the site). Check out their other downloads. There aren't many of them but they are awesome. And the new Caleb Wiles book... If you love good commercial card magic, you HAVE to get this book. It's fan-frakin'-tastic. Anyway, hats off to Vanishing, Inc. for this download. Hoping to see more like in the future!

Thanks for the kind words about Ernesto's download, Cameron, Jamie, Paul, and Luke (wow! dude, it's been forever!).
Believe it or not, my favorite component of the moves taught on this download is the simple swiveling switch, that can be used as a control or force. I like this because it's SO indicative of the Latin American style of card magic. That is, smooth but not flashy, elegant yet direct. It's almost from the Spanish school of card magic, but yet so characteristically Latin American. This move is also fun because you can pick it up right away. Some of the other sleights and the routine take a little more practice. Anyway, thanks for the kind words, friends. Would be GREAT to get Ernesto to the states at some point. Hopefully a convention organizer notices his work. Josh |

Yes, the swivel switch is brilliant. It's one of those things you watch and you have no idea how it's done. Then you see the explanation and think, "THAT got me?" Brilliant stuff.

Hey Josh,
Just watched The trailor and that spread control has to be one of the coolest things with the boards I have seen in years. Schooled me big time. Best John |
