Lit match disappear.
In loving memory of Hughie Thomasson 1952-2007.

You brought something beautiful to this world, you touched my heart, my soul and my life. You will be greatly missed.

Until we meet again “my old friend”.

No, I'm not kidding...John Carney's vanishing salt shaker is in my opinion the best trick using a T.T.!!! It's in an old set of his notes...sorry, can't remember which ones though.

And here I thought this was a variation on the old joke about the guy going into the magic shop and asking for The Vanishing Hankerchief. And the next week, he comes in and buys Water From a Dollar. And the following week, he asks how Houdini vanished the elephant. "And don't tell me it's another thumb tip!!"

Ammar has a handling of the TT bill switch of pg. 227 of "Magic of Michael Ammar."

There's also an incredible handling using a soft TT on pg. 49 of "Roger Klause in Concert."

I like David Williamson's salt routine off his second tape.

As simple as it may be, at parties and clubs, I always love to "put out" a lit cigarette in my bare hand and then make it vanish. Really catches them off guard before moving on to my routine. Smile

Hi! garcia00. You can check Michael Ammar's Easy To Master Money Miracles Volume.
You can find the trick called "41 - Cent Miracle." It's wonderful.

Shawn74,

The bill switch is also in Michael Ammar's "Encore 3" book and is called the "Klause's Bill Switch."

Magic is a vanishing Art.

Sometime a while back I presented pushing a sponge ball into a silk from which it disappears.

Later I visited Al Goshman's booth at the convention. I mentioned the trick.

Then he said, "Oh, that's why everyone wants to by a tip and a sponge ball."

I have done that in walk around. I have been told I can't do another trick until I do that trick again.

I think what makes it strong is the ball disappears and the hands are not touching the ball.
Magic Al. Say it fast and it is magical.
