Vanishing Inc.
A commercial, professional routine that injects fresh energy into one of magic's most cherished plots. You’re looking at nearly 18 minutes of show-stopping material, all you need is a deck of cards and a marker (yep, that's it!).
After making quite the splash with his bestselling tome Stage by Stage, John Graham is back at it with Vanishing Inc. to share one of his all-time favourite routines. After performing and fine-tuning his Multiple Selection act in front of real audiences for decades (and probably scaring a few folks along the way), he's finally ready to let you in on the secret!
Encore takes a completely fresh approach to Multiple Selection, smashing the traditional linear structure into smithereens. Forget the usual routine where cards are simply picked, lost, then miraculously found again. This spectacular act is cyclical, weaving repeated revelations into a tapestry of astonishment and intrigue that builds with every phase.
As you uncover each new card, you’ll also astonish your audience by rediscovering the earlier selections in unexpected ways. For instance, when you find the third card, you’ll throw them for a loop by also revealing the first and second cards—because why not keep them on their toes? Each callback is a delightful surprise, ensuring your audience stays glued to the performance from start to finish.
Encore is a masterclass, bringing together seven unique effects into one seamless act. It’s modular, so feel free to wrap things up at any point and still deliver a show-stopper. What truly sets Encore apart is the meticulous thought that’s gone into the routining. Every moment flows together, offering exciting twists that reinforce the overall theme (and keep your audience guessing).
To ensure you squeeze every drop of value from this routine, Encore comes as a beautifully crafted, 35-page hardback book rather than an instant download. Clear descriptions and illustrations let you learn at your own pace while fully embracing the tips and intricacies refined over countless performances.
John has dedicated years to exploring and polishing this plot. He’s made all the blunders so you don’t have to. Snag Encore today to learn a professional Multiple Selection routine that’ll leave every audience in awe!

"John Graham has come up with a very original and commercial approach to the multiple-card location plot. It's well worth any card magician's study."
- Darwin Ortiz
"I have performed a multiple selection routine for years and have read pretty much everything on the subject. This approach by John is amazing, entertaining, and most of all unique and surprising. It's really an act, not just a trick or even a routine. It's all high impact with nothing wasted or extra, except maybe for that H in his first name."
- Jon Armstrong
"John Graham, the busiest working full-time pro you've never heard of -- until, that is, the debut of his phenomenal book, Stage by Stage, about how to construct a professional caliber commercial platform magic show -- now brings that same experienced and professional eye to close-up card magic, in his excellent follow-up release: Encore. In superb instructional detail, John shares an 18-minute act, consisting of five neo-classic card routines plus two additional breathtaking climactic final beats. The skills required are intermediate at most, so whether you are a professional looking to apply John's principles and teachings to your own work, or an amateur looking to take the next step, put aside the latest new thing and replace it with an impactful performance that will kill any intimate audience, whether in professional or simply casual social conditions, the small price you pay for this book will be one of the best investments you have yet made in your journey toward becoming a complete conjurer -- a close-up magician who can truly perform a polished and memorable act! Isn't it time you took this final step -- this leap -- to another level? John Graham will take you by the hand and lead you to that promised land. Don't delay, don't think about it -- just do it -- and be prepared for your audiences to shout out the name of this transformational volume: Encore!"
