Hal Saxon – The Aladdins Lamp Vanish

A New Twist on an Old Classic. The Aladdin’s Lamp Vanish.

No… It’s not what you think!

I have never taught this before…

One of the most angle proof vanishes I teach. Extreme close up and undetected.

As a close-up magician, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of captivating an audience with seemingly impossible feats. One such illusion involves a simple yet mesmerizing routine using a silk handkerchief.

But wait! You’re a magician. You’ve seen a hanky vanish a million times. However, I guarantee you cannot even comprehend how different this vanish is.

Imagine this: you place a vibrant silk in your closed fist, then perform a magical rub, reminiscent of rubbing Aladdin’s lamp, as if summoning a magic genie from within. After three deliberate motions, you open your hand, revealing an astonishing truth—the silk has vanished.

Incredibly, your other hand appears empty as well. How can this be? You also have short sleeves, no watch, and no rings. It surely didn’t go up your sleeve!

What sets this performance apart is its innovative approach. Unlike traditional methods, both thumbs and all fingers are openly displayed, enhancing the element of surprise.

You can also use this vanish to perform a very elegant silk hanky color change.

The techniques I share of using your “hot hand” allow you to execute a series of incredibly deceptive moves, reinforcing the illusion of utter emptiness.

This fresh perspective on a classic trick introduces a level of sophistication and creativity that I have never taught before.

In the world of magic, innovation is key. By breathing new life into age-old principles, performers can keep audiences on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next incredible revelation. With this unique twist, you not only entertain but also redefine the boundaries of what’s possible in close-up magic.

A very deceptive, different, close up, and angle proof vanish of a silk. Nothing like the traditional thumb tip vanish. Very refreshing and mesmerizing!
