“Bandit is a beautifully constructed effect that takes the classic vanishing plot to a whole new level. The method is as fooling as it is practical, making it a powerhouse for both close-up and parlour performances. I was truly impressed!” - João Miranda
“I love this trick, I love the method, I like the guys who thought of this, if we were any closer we would all be friends” - Stephen Bargatze
“Such a sneaky in your face method. I love it! Bandit is the boss!” - Angelo Carbone
“I love Bandit. Just clever all around. I’m going to use this insanely good (and fun) method in my parlour stuff right away - Jon Armstrong
“Noel just showed me 'Bandit', incredibly well thought out, easy to do, deviously clever, and a wonderful feeling of magic as I watched” - Wayne Fox
”It is really freaking clever! I love mine. Super practical and smart” - Ben Seidman
”It looks exactly like magic, chefs kiss” - David, Magic Orthodoxy
Everything changes today. This is Day 1 of a new dawn; finally your vanish hits as hard as your reveal.
Bandit is, quite simply the cleanest, fairest vanish of a folded card or bank note in the world. Nothing comes close….and it uses an UNGIMMICKED CARD BOX
Bandit has everything you could want from a vanish -
- Simple to do
- Impossibly fair
- Utterly deceptive
- Almost zero pocket space
- Vanish happens when you want it too
- Spectator is CERTAIN they have it
- Quick reset
- 100% motivated actions
- End clean and everything can be examined
- Built in misdirection
- No sleight of hand
Magicians have been using the same old vanishes for a 100 years and they just don’t cut it!
- False transfer - “erm, mate it’s in your other hand”
- Flash Paper - “sorry no fire in the venue!”
- Hanky - “alright grandad”
- TT - “why do you need to ram it in with your thumb?”
- A pull - “why does it only vanish when you wear a coat?”
These vanishes get a pass because your audience is devastated at the reveal, when the card/bill appears in a box/wallet/under a watch/in an envelope etc. What if the start of the routine got just as good reactions as the end? Bandit guarantees it.
Bandit is perfect for close-up, parlour or even stand up. In stand up, you can channel your inner Doc Eason during the routine by shouting “who’s got the box?” and they’ll shake it over their head shouting, “I do, I do”.
Bandit isn’t just a vanish, you can also use it as switch box for routines like torn and restored, bill number revelation, a killer oil and water with ripped up cards. It’s a marketing cliche, but it really is only limited by your imagination.
Oh and if you struggle with a Mercury fold, the spectator folds the card! It’s perfect every time!
As for reveals, you can use any of the amazing props you may already have to make a card/bill magically appear, but you don’t have to! Noel and Roddy will teach you a couple of great routines that need nothing more than cards or a borrowed phone. You also have alternatives to the bag and it’s all taught. You can do it with a clear bag, no bag or a paperclipped card/bill.
It’s not hard and there’s no sleight of hand, you’ll just need to play with the gimmicks for a few hours before it becomes second nature. You just need 5 mins to customise the gimmick to you and then it’s playtime.
The method will delight you so much that the hardest part is not having a huge grin on your face as you perform Bandit. If you know somebody who saw it demmed at Blackpool or Magic Live, they were fooled
Every top pro at Magic Live and Blackpool brought over their buddies, because they wanted to see the look on their faces when they got kicked in the $&@£ by the method.
Need another reason? I’ll only whisper it as I don’t want everybody to know: it’s also a killer, killer peak. Shhh, keep it down.

I just started practicing this. It's going well. I have several ways I plan to use this. I think it's very practical for what it accomplishes.
You guys really outdid yourself with Bandit! Such brilliant thinking, and the effect slays. I usually do it card to envelope inside wallet. It’s super fun to do as well. And it’s very different. The audience has never seen anything like it. And it’s such a clean and motivated process, it’s impossible to figure out. Well done!!
Thanks so much Dwain! It's been a labour of love for us on this, we've obsessed over every detail to choreograph it to make it as fooling as possible.
Really appreciate the support.
A very clever idea that has potential to very useful. I don't like DIY & I found this very fiddley & the operation requires quite some practice to get smooth. That is not a bad thing but needs to be stated
Hey Steve, there's no way round it, every hand is different. We couldn't do this work in advance for you as we couldn't size the gimmick for you. I know you aren't keen on DIY but it's a 5 minute customisation and it does state on product page that a little customisation of gimmick is needed. Practice wise, I've taught it to people at the stand at conventions in 10 minutes but to get slick, it will need an hour or two practice. I hope you put the work in to get it as smooth as it can be because nothing else in magic will produce as clean a vanish for a card/bill.

Another wonderful effect from TrickTrick Boom. Easy to perform and gets great reactions. Every aspect of this is bang on. That’s why I keep buying their effects.
You've been an amazing supporter of everything TTB since we started! Thank you.
Arrived promptly a couple of days ago. I've unpacked it this morning and watched the video through from start to finish. As with all TTB effects, Roddy and Noel have covered all angles and thought through every little detail. I'm really looking forward to practising this and then taking it out on the road.
Thanks so much, we wanted to make sure everything was covered to guarantee you get up and running as soon as possible.
