Helge Thun - Masterclass Live (Week 1) (Mp4 Video Download 1080p FullHD Quality)

Vanishing Inc Masterclass Live lecture by Helge Thun (Week one)
 – vanishingincmagic.com

What makes Germany’s Helge Thun special is that he’s equally astounding up close and far away. Whether he’s onstage in front of a huge audience, doing wacky, hilarious comedy magic, or melting minds up close with his precision-grade material with cards and coins, he is a magician of the highest order. What makes this even more special to us at Vanishing Inc. is that he’s under-exposed in the magic community. For many of us, this will be the first time we’ve seen him share magic in a video setting.

This Masterclass offers a rare opportunity to learn Helge’s most celebrated routines, complete with built-in laughs, layered methods, and theatrical structure. If you’re looking for practical material that plays big, this is for you.

The “Helge Thun Masterclass” contains two full-length lectures accompanied by high-quality performances of the routines and the necessary supplementary materials. A special section is also provided for you to submit any questions you have while watching. Those questions will then be answered during a special Q&A interview that will be recorded and uploaded to your account.

Masterclass 1: Stand-Up Magic with a Twist: November 2, 2025 (4pm ET | NYC Time)

Instant Camera Card
A standout from Helge’s 1991 FISM act, co-created with Thomas Fraps. Instead of finding a signed card the usual way, you snap a Polaroid of the spectator’s thoughts. Three seconds later, their signed selection appears in the photo, complete with their signature. Helge also shares his handling of Paul Harris’ overlooked Flip Plop Flop control.

Flip Flap Flourish Production
Another FISM act highlight. Inspired by a Roberto Giobbi production, this sequence is a stylish four-card production, ending with a card appearing on the table, even though your hands seemingly never touch it. Helge also describes his “Flip Flash Flourish” from The Flicking Fingers Book.

The Snowshoe Switching Sandwiches A multi-phase sandwich routine that is designed to be performed on stage. Based on work by Michael Ammar and Daryl, Helge builds this into a parlor routine that gives you the chance to include tricks you already perform in a memorable ten-minute card act.

Better Safe Than Sorry 3 A full twelve-minute closer with escalating impossibilities. Two cards are found using a version of Hiro Sakai’s “Band on the Run,” one penetrates a handkerchief, and the finale ends with a signed card folded into quarters inside a sealed, transparent plastic box, secured with rubber bands. This is a masterpiece in construction as Helge demonstrates how to set up an incredibly fooling ending as the routine progresses.
