We're so thrilled to have a chance to kick-off year four of Vanishing Inc. Masterclass with our favorite magicians, time-travelers and all around spiffing chaps—Morgan & West.

This sensational duo is one of the hardest working acts in the world. They're bonafide professionals with impressive magic and theater knowledge that know how to create a truly entertaining magic show. Whether you know them from their appearances on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, their crowd-favorite lecture at Magifest, or their bestselling book Parlour Tricks, this is a Vanishing Inc. Masterclass you won't want to miss.

You'll get two exceptional lectures followed by a live Zoom Q&A where you can ask any questions you have. While it's already a tremendous value, don't forget that by subscribing to Vanishing Inc. Monthly, you can get the Morgan & West Masterclass, access to our exclusive VI Studio streaming library, and free shipping on every order in the US or UK (and 20% off anywhere else) for less than the cost of just the Masterclass alone.

What to Expect.

Get ready for brand new material from the authors of one of our bestselling books ever. There will be no material from Parlour Tricks and nothing from their code act. This is Morgan & West like you've never seen them before.

Week 1 (January 1, 2023) - Making Tricks Bigger for Stage

A captivating discussion about how to take the close up magic tricks you already do, or even some of the stage magic and parlor magic tricks you do, and altering them to fill a stage of ANY size. Everything from the routines themselves to the props, sounds and even how you use lighting.

Week 2 (January 8, 2023) - Making Tricks Your Own

Learn how to take classic plots or old props and modify them to develop material that suits you and your character. Become the complete opposite of a cookie cutter magician and create magic that truly resonates with both you and your audience.

Both lectures will feature the perfect blend of tricks and theory. Just like with Parlour Tricks, the tricks can be performed if you'd like. But, the most value comes from the comprehensive breakdown and analysis of how they were created and evolved. And, while Morgan & West are a double act, they'll also explain the single performer variants when applicable.

Week 3 (January 22, 2023) - Live Zoom Q&A

Spend 90 minutes live on Zoom with Morgan & West where you an ask them anything you want.

Another great one. I'm not a stage magician but I really enjoy these two and it's always great to see how others think.

This is the Masterclass I have been waiting for! M&W generously educate and entertain while doing so. If you are a stage performer or close up magician trying to break into stage, this Masterclass is a must.

What a great master class! I'm really excited and I'm very happy that I decided to buy it. Morgan and West are bursting with ideas and know how to trigger new thought processes in the viewer. For example: How can I manage to present a close-up piece of art on stage in such a way that the audience in the back rows can also see what exactly is happening on stage. How can I make my show really unique, tailor props to my needs, my show and how can I play a "simple" trick in such a way that the entire audience is involved. My head cinema is running and I know for sure that my next plans will benefit from this master class. I'm already looking forward to the 2nd and 3rd part. Thank you Morgan and West!!!

I have been a big fan of Morgan and West for a long time. Part one of their masterclass does not disappoint. This class focuses on stage magic, but I think there can be lessons for everyone interested in improving their presentation and performance.

Morgan and West are a duo so you need to adapt their tricks but luckily that is not the point. The theatrics and playing big are what they teach, and they do a great job! Highly recommend this master class.

Very nice explanation of how they make a Morgan and West sw out of decent but fundamental magical effects.

Morgan and West are Pros and this shows in their Masterclass. If you are looking for new magic principles or tricks or detailed explanations of sleights this is probably not the right class for you. But if you want to see actual live footage of stage and parlour pieces done for real audiences and then hear a detailed explanation by the creators of the Why and How their stage characters and Persona drive their presentations this is it.

You will be entertained watching the pieces and the explanations and you will get plenty to think about and apply to your own magic. It doesn't get much better than that.

A masterful masterclass. The topics were both unusual and to a large extent original to their thinking. The format - showing performances on video and analyzing/ commenting on them - worked very well for me. So much to take from it - thanks.
The only suggestion I would have: a little structure upfront or summary at the end of each class would have been really helpful. This are the five key points to keep in mind, when making things big for stage...maybe next time.
Again a superb masterclass - highly recommended.

Excellent. As a professional, stand-up performer I was about to cancel my subscription. The other lectures have been great but just not for me - this has restored my confidence. Brilliant material, well executed and explained.

Very enjoyable! I really liked the way they explained their thought processes and methods to adapt "smaller" tricks for the stage. Thank you, sirs!

Not a major focus on covering lots of tricks and disclosing methods; however, a good discussion of helpful principles for staging tricks for bigger impact, and useful video clips demonstrating these principles as performed in their act.

Bravo! Both engaging and informative. Strong lessons for all who perform Magic on stage.

Thought provoking related to scaling to stage. A lot of time, maybe too much, to the first effect. Very good explanations.
