Hi Everyone,
It’s been a bit of a whirlwind since the Blackpool Magic Convention. My new effect, DIMINISH, sold out at Blackpool, and the second batch followed a few days later. One of the videos has now passed 1 million views, which is just bonkers. I've got a handful of the third batch left. The fourth batch will be a few days behind that. There isn’t a full trailer yet, but here’s the teaser video, plus the separate video that took off, along with some more info: https://gingereffects.com/diminish If any of you would like more details, feel free to drop me a message. DIMINISH will be available on the website properly once I've caught up with orders. Until it’s on the website, you can order directly from me and I’ll get it straight out to you. Thanks for all the support! Damian

I picked it up in Blackpool. I can't say it's worth whatever the US cost will be but I honestly believe it is superior to previous similar offerings. I don't even really love this effect but this looked so good and is quite easy to do and I believe will be durable.

On Mar 2, 2026, TresBoss wrote: Great question, TresBoss. There are a few key differences. The main one is the structure. DIMINISH clearly shows a full deck, then half, then a QUARTER of the deck, and finally just one ungimmicked card which can be immediately handed out. That 'quarter' phase was actually the reason I developed my method. It allows me to ask for the colour and vanish the wrong half of the deck. Then ask the suit and vanish half of what remains. Then ask the value and vanish everything except the single selected card. It sounds clunky when written out, but in performance it flows beautifully and feels completely logical. The other big difference is the handling. There’s no finger movement. DIMINISH does all the work for you. There are a few other differences, but those are probably the ones that will matter most to people.

So how does this differ from level one? This seems to look in the mechanics, watching the video, is something similar. DM me if you like.

When the video unexpectedly took off, I was replying to hundreds of messages over a short period. If the price change wasn’t clear in our exchange, magicmind, that certainly wasn’t intentional. The Blackpool launch price was intended for attendees at the convention. Because of the extra interest, I extended it to non-attendees as well, but only for the duration of the event.

On Mar 3, 2026, Sreidy wrote: Hi Sreidy, From an effect point of view, the extra phase is the key difference. It's also the thing that motivated the development. - Ask the colour, and vanish all cards of the wrong colour (half the deck) - Ask the suit, and vanish the wrong suit (half of what's left, leaving a quarter of the deck) - Ask the value, and vanish everything else, leaving just their freely selected card. It flows so nicely and feels completely logical. From the method point of view, the gimmick is almost more impressive than the effect. Magicians love it when they see it. I'm incredibly proud of what I've come up with. Once it’s in place, it does the work for you. There’s nothing to rotate, no finger movement, and no need to involve the other hand. Everything happens under your control, and it’s very easy to handle.

What is the difference between Level One by Christian Grace and Diminish?
The gimmick looks the same. |

I really like the look of this (blew my mind!), but at the current price ($108 USD) it is simply too expensive to hit the "buy" button. Hopefully, Damian can strike a deal with a US distributor such as Penguin or Vanishing Inc. sometime in the near future.
