Vanishing Inc is one of the top purveyors of magic gear and tools. The business’ head honchos, Joshua Jay and Andi Gladwin, have penned an open letter to their customers and supporters that summarizes the key events of the recently ended year, as well as sharing some of the goodies they have cooking for 2018.

Their insights about the hit products is useful (expect to see many acts riffing on those in the near future), but the really exciting bit is the laundry list of cool stuff on the horizon this year. Instructional DVDs from Denis Behr, deck switching with Ben Earl, and a five-part masterclass by Roberto Giobbi are just a taste of what’s in store. Plus there’s the early excitement for their two live events (The Magi-Fest and The Session) and the wonderful work done by their ShareMagic charity.
