Impression Vanish by Peter Boie (US Penny) (2025)

Hi Fellow magi and those of you that want a simple, easy effect.
Yes, you will have to practicea few times, maybe ten.
Wow! Many comments on here are lambasting the lack of simple ness.
And if you read a bit you will find that some don't like the putting away of the pencil.
Then don't put it away... use it as a magic wand, turn it around in the offbeat and use theerasure end to make the penny vanish. Then put the gimmick and penny and pencil away into the breastpocket of your jacket.
By simply flipping the pencil over in your hand you can use the erasureend.
Say something like, "And now to make it vanish (Smile) I will erase it with magic.
Show that the penny has vanished, not the image...
This is great and if you give it it'sdue... it will give you yours!

After watching the demo several times, I figured this was one of those TGTBT tricks. I was happilyproved wrong after discovering the secret. The strongest magic, in my opinion, are tricks done withsimple, non-assuming objects. Peter has laid this effect out so well that you cannot help butappreciate his cleverness and creativity. Practice and give this beautiful piece the attention itdeserves. It's really not that hard to perform either... Thanks Peter and P.M. for this wonderfulrelease...

This is a great effect with excellent video instruction. I'm only a novice and believe even abeginner can pick this up with sufficient practice.
My only concern is that one of the gimmickswon't usually match what it is swapped in for (and I know why). However, I don't believe mostspectators will notice. It's probably my own paradigm/over thinking.
I'll let you know if mythoughts change after I begin performing it regularly.

I have found away to make the vanish happen without that little move that is thought. I first drawmy portrait darker than the presentation. This way if you start from the bottom go up nice and slowand back down the penny slowly there is no need for that fast lilttle move as tought.I always makeany magic trick my own by simply trying different ways than were thought. Carefull where you performthis meaning don't do this on a wooden surface place a magazine down or use a magicians pad.

This is an amazing trick. Simple, requires no complicated moves or sleights. However, what isrequired is perhaps 30 to 45 minutes of practice just to get your routine down. My technique, forwhatever it’s worth is to start out by using the eraser end of the pencil to point to the penny,paper and glass of water. Then, as I explain, “to keep an eye on the penny,” and that I’m going totrace the image of the coin onto the paper, I then turn the pencil end over end much like a baton sothat I am in position to perform the tracing. I have found, that by maneuvering the pencil end overend in plain view does not draw suspicion because that’s what the audience expects when the magicianexplains he’s going to trace the image of the coin onto the paper. Certainly, you’ll come up withyour own technique to fit your personal style. Bottom line: With a little effort, you will look goodand your audience will be left speechless and befuddled.

This trick is the Essence of GREAT magic. Simple, easy to follow and Fools the Sh#@t out ofeveryone, laymen and magicians alike. Dai Vernon said "A good magic effect should easily bedescribed in one sentence.".....eg: "A penny is covered with a piece of paper the paper islifted....the penny is GONE!" What could be more simpler than that? Peter Boie Has created an effectthat is simple and will fool and enchant the most skeptical of spectators. Buy this trick! This manneeds to be supported in the midst of all the "Crap" being released. Did Vernon also said that"Magicians stop thinking too soon." Peter has thoroughly thought this trick through. The method isamazingly ingenuis!
GET THIS TRICK!

Very clever. Easy to carry and perform. Almost "automatic" although not necessarily a beginner'strick. Highly recommended.

I am writing this review based on real life limitations. First, it uses a penny that is veryunusual in today's world. Second, the action will create a noise that could arouse suspicion. Idon't think this is something you will carry with you.
