You borrow a penny. Using a small piece of paper and a pencil, you take a clear impression of the coin. A drop of water is placed on the image, and as you gently rub, the impression slowly fades away. You explain that when the image disappears…so does the penny. You lift the paper. The coin is gone. Your hands are empty. There’s nothing to hide. The paper can be examined—and even given away. The moment is quiet, visual, and deeply unsettling. Important points: You start and end clean Everything is fully examinable Instant reset—just carry extra 3”×3” papers No body hookups Practical for real-world performance And yes… it fools magicians Simple. Visual. Impossible. If you love magic that feels organic, fair, and completely unexplainable, this one earns its place in your pocket. "Highly visual, super fun & elegantly simple!" - Lee Asher "I've watched the video at least twenty times. What a beautiful vanish. It's a perfect illusion.” - Nate Staniforth “I love it!” - Mat Franco “Peter has taken the idea of vanishing a borrowed coin in a direction that makes it unique, impossible and memorable.” - Brent Braun “This fooled me badly. I watched it 7 times in a row.” - Michael Kent “Impression Vanish is a powerful effect that is unique, practical & makes your spectators do a double take.” - Daniel Martin "Awesome Effect! Peter has made my dream come true with the impression vanish. I've always struggled with doing a direct and simple vanish with no need for a re-appearance. Now I can!" - Norman Ng “If you want something absolutely amazing that actually works in the real world from a real performer with thousands of shows under his belt, then Peter Boie’s Impression Vanish is for you!” - Eric Dittleman
