What Each Download Offers
Crush is a dramatic card effect: a signed card is lost in the deck, the deck is crushed underfoot, and only the signed card remains. It's a strong closer that leaves a lasting impression.
Pass Through focuses on producing any small object from an empty hand, right under the cellophane. It's a visual, slow appearance that seems to melt into view, making it great for close-up sets.
Moonshine Vanish is a coin vanish where the coin fades away in an instant, and you end completely clean. It's a quick, natural effect that can be performed anywhere.
Trade-Offs to Consider
Crush requires a deck and a box, and it destroys the deck—so it's not ideal if you want to reuse your cards. It's also a one-time impact per deck.
Pass Through is more reusable and can be used with any small object, but it may require more practice to make the production look natural.
Moonshine Vanish is simple and clean, but it's a single vanish—you might want to pair it with other coin work to build a routine.
