Your audience sees the deck begin to shrink.
Slowly.
Visibly.
Impossibly.

A card is freely chosen, signed if you wish, and returned to the deck. Then, in full view and with nothing to hide, the cards slowly disappear.

First, the cards of the not-selected colour vanish.
Then those of the not-selected suit.
Then all remaining cards vanish until only the selection remains and can be immediately handed out.

An ultra-clean multi-phase visual deck vanish with a logical structure that audiences instantly understand, and performers can quickly master.

Unlike traditional vanishing deck effects that happen in an instant, DIMINISH allows your spectators to watch the impossible unfold before their eyes. The deck visibly reduces in size three times, creating a sequence of escalating moments that build suspense and astonishment before the final revelation.

The structure is logical, natural, and easy to follow. Every phase feels motivated. Every moment strengthens the illusion.

Best of all, DIMINISH is designed for real-world performance.

• Use any deck (even borrowed).
• Free selections.
• Use signed cards if you wish.
• End with a fully examinable card.
• Instant reset.
• No threads.
• No elastic.
• No springs.
• Easy to perform.

The specially designed DIMINISH gimmick does the work for you, allowing you to focus on presentation and performance rather than handling.

Whether you're performing for friends, in the office, at professional bookings, or creating social media content, DIMINISH delivers a stunning visual moment that looks impossible from every angle.

A performance video of DIMINISH has already generated more than 1.5 million views online. The effect sold out at the Blackpool Magic Convention. Now it's your turn to experience the vanish that everyone is talking about.

What the Pros Are Saying

"Diminish is my new favourite vanishing deck. The cards just seem to... melt away... in full view, until just the selection remains! It's fooling, magical AND 100% practical. A smash hit."
- Mark Elsdon

"I saw Damian perform this in the Magic Circle Close Up Magician of the Year competition and it was the best effect of the night, no question! Incredible."
- David Penn

"Damian has taken a fabulous illusion to new heights. Visual magic at its best. I am excited to share this with my audiences. In a word... SURReal!"
- Nick Einhorn

"The effect is beautifully direct and the reactions are outstanding. Diminish is one of those effects that looks impossible, feels organic in performance, and delivers a moment people remember. Highly recommended."
- Gary Jones

"The most practical slow motion deck vanish I have ever seen."
- Craig Petty

"Wonderfully constructed... both the routine and the gimmick."
- Jon Allen

FAQ:

1) What makes DIMINISH different?

• Easy to do. Nothing to rotate. No finger movement. The gimmick does all the work for you.
• The vanish happens for a reason. The extra 'quarter deck' phase enables the flow of the gradual deck vanish to make perfect sense. Wrong colour disappears. Wrong suit disappears. Remaining cards disappear. Selection remains.
• It looks the most real. The visuals look exactly as they should.

2) How long will DIMINISH last?

A long, long time!

No threads. No elastic. No springs.

The one thing that could conceivably wear out after a lot of use is discussed in the video and can be replaced in about 3 minutes.

DIMINISH is built to last. If you buy a second DIMINISH, it won't be to replace the first. It will be to have one in your close up case as well as your EDC (Every Day Carry).

3) Is there a red backed version?

You don't need one. DIMINISH will work with any deck.

4) Are there any clothing restrictions?

Handlings are shown with and without a jacket. You can even perform in shorts and a T-shirt.
