Dear manipulators, I’m just a deprived mentalist, and was wondering what you nimble-fingered guys think about a few sleights described here:
http://www.newmagicsecrets.com.

All the effects include videos - I am referring in particular to the Impromptu Pen Vanish, the Catch of the Invisible and the Sealed fist vanish (the penetration video looks like Al Cohen’s Incredi-go?). Thanks,

Ken

Kind of hard to tell without the actual sleight.

Looks impossible if it’s ungaffed.

Send me the pen videos and I'll tell you what I think about your sleights.

Nice looking material. Wonder if that person knows about “Now you see it, now you don't.”

Yes, the “Catch of the Invisible” really looks like a version of Meir Yedid’s Now U see it, Now U don’t gimmick. That’s why I’m asking, I would hate sending money to someone who releases material without giving the proper credits.

On the other hand, the ads claim that “Impromptu pen vanish” and “Sealed fist vanish” are gimmickless sleights. Any other comments? Thanks

I would also like to know this.

Hi, I'm J-D from newmagicsecrets.com

The "Catch of the Invisible" doesn't use the same principle than Yedid's "Now you see it now you don't". The "Catch of the invisible" is designed especially to make pens or similar shaped objects appear in a flash. It is also more suited for those who like to do tricks on a stage (can be watched from far away).

The Sealed Fist Vanish is not impromptu, as mentionned in the description page of the trick:

"If you don't already have in your house the small components needed to achieve the secret method, they will be cheap and easy to find"

If you have more questions about the tricks, PM me anytime,

Hey!! What a lot of nerve! A mentalist who thinks that all you have to do is learn a couple of manipulations and you can call yourself a magician. How would you feel if all the magicians started throwing a mindreading stunt into their show, and called themselves "mentalists?"

Oh, I forgot. They are doing that, aren't they? Never mind.
