Penn and Teller's hit show Fool Us had a simple premise: perform an effect that the duo couldn't figure out. Only two magicians fooled Penn & Teller in the initial show, and one of those was John Archer. He did so with a smart, simple routine called "Blank Night," and Vanishing Inc. Magic is proud to release it.

"Blank Night" comes complete with everything you need to add it to your next show. Five envelopes are shown and you explain that one of them contains a prize of $100 (use any amount or currency). Audience members choose four of the five envelopes but discover they have only won small consolation prizes (such as a $0 bill, or nothing at all).

Without any suspicious moves, the final envelope is clearly opened to reveal $100 inside! The bills are not folded and are seen clearly being pulled from inside the envelope. No body loads, envelope switches or thumbtips. “Blank Night” left both Penn and Teller speechless!

Comes complete with detailed, fully-illustrated instruction booklet, specially-manufactured envelopes and gimmicks. Choose blue or yellow envelopes at checkout. Envelopes come blank so that you can write whatever words you would like on them.

• Joseph asks: Can you make your own envelopes or are you stuck with reusing the ones sent to you over and over?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: You're welcome to make your own. The ones we provide are manufactured to be perfect for the effect though.

• Harry asks: I purchased this effect and it came in the mail Monday. Two days later I opened it. Where is the link for the online instructions. I don’t see it on the packet or inside the packet.

• Mats asks: Does this use a TT?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: It does not.

• Dean asks: I noticed that one reviewer said it will not work with US paper money (at least without modifications). Is this correct? And if so, is the required material supplied or do you have to find additional material to match the color of the envelopes?

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: If you were using US currency you would either need to adapt the size of the bills or the size of the gimmick. You do not receive extra material to make your own gimmick but it can be made very easily once you have seen the method.

• Wilf asks: Will this trick work with the current UK notes, as I saw this performed years ago with the old paper notes.

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: It will work with any notes.

• Len asks: Does the dvd or download come with a PDF file to have the words printed on the envelopes so it looks professional rather than just hand written

  • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: We understand that everyone who performs this trick would like to use a different presentation. Therefore, we have not printed on the envelopes so that you can choose what writing to use. All home printers are capable of printing on envelopes and many come with software to do it. If you are using Microsoft Word, you can use the Envelopes and Labels Wizard by going to the Tools menu, selecting the Letters and Mailings submenu and then the Envelopes and Labels command. You can also write on the envelopes yourself.

• Len asks: Is there software to make your own $0 dollar bills. I saw someone do this and they had the $0 with their picture on it

  • 1. Jim answers: Any photo editor would work (like Photoshop).

FANTASTIC! This came today and I'm pleased beyond words. The method was very, very different than what I expected, but easy to do. Another satisfied customer!

John Archer makes this trick fantastic, and the big question I had was whether or not I could make it great for me. The answer is yes. I've got my own presentation already in mind, and I'm very pleased with the method and the quality of the envelopes. Will you sell refills eventually?

 

Matthew

Just arrived. HIGH quality envelopes perfect for American currency. Great instructions with clear illustrations. Such a wonderful trick. I can't wait to start doing it.

 

Jeffrey

Brilliant effect! Well worth the price. Goes over excellent with the audience!

 

Gino

Ive seen John perform this a few times and I recently picked it up. It's so smart and so easy to perform! You'll love it!

 

Robert

I purchased this last year for a Christmas gig before Lockdown. I. have seen some reviewer say it does not work with US currency, but I found it fit just right so I don't know if the gimmick was modified to include US unfolded bills.

 

Carlo

In concept and as performed by John Archer this would be excellent. However, the gimmick IS NOT designed to hold unfolded United States currency. The gimmick also requires a bit of extra DIY work which depending on your magic tool box may require an addition purchase of materials. The strength of the final reveal, in my opinion, was the removal of five unfolded bills, which for US currency IS NOT possible with the included gimmick.
Therefore, I have to rate this below standard for United States Customers.
