#1 the reason why I created a vanish with a hat is because I dont usually have the chance to perform vanishes like everyone else. I have half my finger amputated and people usually think im hiding a coin tucked under my finger and its never the case
#2 who said the hat couldn't be turned over. It can be shown.
#3 if you didnt like it thats ok. I respect your opinion.
#4 I've been using it in my rep for some time already. I've gotten amazing reactions. If they ever ask for me to flip the cap over. I'll do it gladly
1) Let me start by saying I'm sorry that you have half your finger amputated. I obviously didn't know, my apologies.
2) I'm not saying the hat can't be turned over, I'm saying that's probably the reaction you'll get with that trick. Correct me if I'm wrong, but every time you perform that trick to someone new, they ask you to turn over the hat and that probably takes away from the instant reaction. Unless you perform it and instantly show that the hat is empty after the vanish. In that case, why wouldn't you show that in the video instead of just saying that you can turn it over? Doesn't matter, I'll take your word for it.
3) Same here.
4) I'm glad you can get good reactions with it, but again, to me it seems like too much cover to vanish a small object. To me, magic should be visual and with a big hat in the way, it takes away from it.
I don't know, maybe that's just me.
There are other ways for you to vanish keys and rings though. One example would be a ring flight.
It's about as impromptu as your trick.
Good luck my friend and don't let anything hold you back.
Godspeed!
