A card is freely chosen, signed if desired, 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 color vanish.
Then those of the not-selected suit. Then all remaining cards vanish until only the selection remains, which can be immediately handed out.
 
This is 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 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.
 
Any deck, even a borrowed deck, can be used. The selection is free, it instantly resets, and there are no threads, elastic, springs or the like. Included is the custom DIMINISH gimmick, a comprehensive video tutorial, and performance tips from inventor Damian Surr and other performers. 0054RUMDIMINISH
