This special edition of
High Spots was created to celebrate Vanishing Inc.'s 15th anniversary. It marks the first time the book has ever been available in hardback and features a new, modernized cover and anniversary logo.
Much of Caleb's best work can be found between these pages. This includes his take on "Reset" by Paul Harris known as "Reswindled, which some argue is the best variation ever invented. The "Semi-Automatic Luck Test" is another popular self-working gem that magicians of all skill levels enjoy.
