Cool, but I got a tip for you. Try waving your hand(upside down) while your doing the vanish instead of hiding it with your other hand. It will look WAY more visual! It will just look if the card vanishes from mid air.

I like the hand covering cause its like a cool routine with it

i don´t like the vanish at all.

If you pick up Now You see it, now you don't!, (which all magicians should have anyway) theres a way to show the back of your hand.[/i]

theres a way to show the back of your hand

margera,
either the link isn't working or there is no access to that file.

it did however bring me to this:
"9 months of gestation in 20 seconds - New Version!"

now it should work...i recorded and uploaded the video a few minutes ago.

The problem with this effect is that every once in a while you will run into a layman that knows this effect. There is a similar flourish in Expert Card Tecnique that I find much more impressive.

nice one
tip make your hand look more natural when the card vanishes.
it looks like your doing something???
nice vid tho keep it up!!!

Ah the good old card vanish. when i first got in to magic all them years ago i brought a little book on card tricks, nothing spectacular like RRTCM. Any how the next thing i got was Mcbrides DVDS on card manipulation. Anyhoot i think you be better with out the hand in front, and all so vanish the card in an upwords motion. and look where the card is vanishing follow with your head in otherwords. Also reproduce the card where it vanished and you with have a much better effect you have the fundermentals down just be more confidant with out a screen.

If you really want to make this convincing, do the pivot. That way, you can show the front and back of your hand empty.

I am with the others on this.....firstly, keep the other hand away, and secondly, it in itslef is useless (in my opinion) without learning how to show the back of the hand as well....specs can quite easily figure out that it really only had one place to go....
