A mind-bending effect that’ll have your audience questioning their grip on reality. "Permanent Record" by Ben Seidman (creator of the wildly popular "The Oracle System") and Vanishing Inc. is a jaw-dropping experience that’ll leave them scratching their heads in disbelief.
Let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like making magic happen in someone else’s hands (it’s like giving them a front-row seat to their own confusion!). "Permanent Record" lets you do just that, and it’s almost infuriatingly easy to pull off. A printed image transforms in their grasp, leaving them with a memory they won’t forget in a hurry.
You kick things off by explaining how every deck of cards has a playing card printed on the box. Then, they hold the box while selecting a card from the pack. Watch their jaws drop when they check the box again, only to find that the printed card has changed to mirror their selection!
The included special gimmick and deck mean you can dive into this self-working wonder straight away. In a nearly 1.5-hour video, Ben spills the beans on how to perform "Permanent Record" with a regular deck, plus bonus ideas for using the gimmick to jazz up other routines you might already be doing. Oh, and there’s a cheeky secret that’ll up your close-up game, not to mention Dr. Jonathan Pickard's original, multi-phase "Ambideckstrous" handling and a whole lot more.
You’ll absolutely love performing "Permanent Record". It’s quick, easy, and packs a punch that genuinely astonishes everyone. Discover why Ben Seidman never leaves home without this gem in his pocket, and trust me, you won’t want to either.

"This is going straight into my, and everyone else's, strolling set. It's strong, fun, and super easy to do. I love it!" - Chad Long
"This is A+ material for both professional and casual performances. On top of that, I can't believe Ben also included his CUPS technique as part of this release. It's not only dangerously good for 'Permanent Record', but nearly any close-up routine. That alone is worth the cost of the project." - Bill Herz
"Permanent Record is easy enough for beginners to fool their pals, but has enough interesting applications that professionals will be able to effectively add it to their repertoires. I like it!" - Michael Close
