I haven't seen this posted yet, so want to add. I must say I'm excited for this one, as I've always been a fan of this guy. Book looks beautiful:

Yet they don't trust it enough since they rely on false advertising... Vallarino Fism act has been published on video almost 20 years ago...
Also if I am not mistaken, Vallarino didn't win, he was 3rd in 1991. |

Interesting. I saw the question and comment you posted on vanishing inc about this. After about twelve hours they changed the text of the product description and also removed your second comment where you quoted their words. So.. appears you were right.

I know I am right, otherwise I woudnt have raised the question. They can change the description all they want, I have screen captures of the original. Also of this is how they handle business, I am now former client of Vanishing Inc. Its not hard to admit that one is wrong but altering facts afterwards to keep your own face is wrong!

FISM designates him a winner; he's on the FISM Winners page at fism.org: https://fism.org/winners-90s/#1991 |

Futhermore, he was third to Francis Tabary & John Carney, two greats. The book looks fantastic and cheap for the content. I'm going to get it. Thanks, Wordsworth, for the info.

This looks very interesting.
Vallarinos Ultimate Wild card Routine was one of the first effects I have ever purchased. I absolutely loved the trailer and think it's one of the most beautiful and magicl routines I have seen until today. But back then I just started learning magic and was completely overburdened with the handeling. I failed miserably in my first performance and since then the effect slept in my bottom drawer. Until recently... Over 10 years have passed and a couple of months ago I remembered the effect, searched it, found it and tried if I could learn it now. And I was actually surprised how easy it was to pull it off (after all those years handeling cards). I am still not perfect but this routine reminds me of the need to practice and to always try to get better. I also think that I will never be flawless according to my demand for perfection, but while striving for it you find beauty on the way. And I still absolutely love the visuals of the routine and have fun practicing it over and over again. It's probably one of the only tricks that I don't get bored and can do over and over again just for myself (even after knowing the secrets and doing them it still feels kind of magical just to practice it for myself). So I will definately get this book just for the memories and nostalgia |

I've been dying to get my hands on this one since they first teased it. Looks gorgeous and the video performances is the icing on the cake for me.

I remember first seeing it and you see the usual comments about being a 'dirty' trick and t being obviously with a certain method but they miss the point. That Wild Card routine is magic as an art form. It's not some guy guessing your phone number, it's for a different crowd and I would LOVE to finally get my hands on that routine in this book considering his DVD has been sold out for a long while. Book looks like a great, bumper package and a very fair price. With the videos included it's a steal. Quote:

Ditto on his Ultimate Wild Card. Luckily I purchased the DVD when it was available and it is so beautiful to watch even after countless viewings.

Will end up getting this
Saw him lecture years ago at Blackpool convention. A funny lecture as his translator who translated said the complete opposite of what he was saying eg. Today I went for a donkey ride in the beach with some candy floss. A great performer |

Just received this - what amazing value for a large, beautifully printed book and access to over 80 videos seeing how the master performs the sleights and tricks. Looking forward to delving deeply into this (what a contrast to single tricks with overpriced gimmicks selling for similar amounts!)

Received my copy today and - though I’ve yet to peruse the material - I’m already compelled to say that the physical book itself has cemented for me that Vanishing Inc is now leading the charge when it comes to its publishing branch. Every book of theirs I’ve purchased lately is more than just a resource for terrific material; they’re also visually stunning tomes with no expense spared as far as quality or design. I’m so deeply impressed yet again.

Just received the book today, ordered from a magic shop based in Berlin, Germany. Why? Because if I purchase the book in the US I will pay hell in shipping costs.In the UK? Yeah, nice, a flat 20 euros taxes because of the brexit! So I'm not allowed any acces to the videos just because I'm living in Europe? How fair is that??? The book is published by Vanishing Inc, so EVERYBODY buys it from them. Or am I wrong????
