"Panic kills me - one of the best vanishing decks ever invented."
- Richard Kaufman Publisher, Genii Magazine
"Aaron's Panic surprised me. It also fooled me. He has a nice smile, considering that he's obviously demonic spawn."
- Max Maven
"You may be flattered to know I was so anxious to learn Panic, instead of going to bed, I put the DVD in my computer this evening and, before I knew it, forty minutes had flown by.
Your presentation in the video was clear, concise and valuable. You were well spoken and the techniques and tips you shared made me feel, as the viewer, I had all the knowledge I needed to perform this effect in the real world, from close-up to stage. I thought the disc was very nicely produced and packaged, and your persona was both authoritative and approachable. I also thought it was very commendable that you gave credit to whom it was due in mapping the origin of the inspiration for the effect.
In short, kudos to you my friend for creating a great trick that will be treasured by beginners and pros alike.
I'll be using it as an opener for my card magic and I can't wait to hear the reactions I'm sure it will get. Thanks again."

Panic is a very cool diminishing deck. In the basic handling the deck is held in the hand the 4 kings are placed in the magician's pocket and magically and very visually the deck switches places with the kings.
I like Aaron Fisher and I think that his thoughts on theory and the nitty gritty parts of card magic is very helpful to the beginner as well as the professional. He has a little bit of a sing song tone when he explains magic, I don’t know if it is deliberate but it can seem like he’s a bit patronizing. If you can look past this his magic is worth looking into.
With my purchase I go a set of gimmicks in the mail with instructions to download the method. On the down you learn how to perform this effect in a variety of situations. He goes over how to open with it, close with it, get into it during a set, how to ditch the gimmicks how to work it out of one pocket how to perform it in a close up or parlor setting and what kind of magic to perform before hand. All of this was very helpful and as the download played almost all of my questions were answered regarding different situations.
On the download, along with panic, you learn a simple version of Dr. Daley’s deception which works well with Panic if you like to routine the two together.
The gaffs are mandolin backed but the way they are made Aaron suggests a way to hide that if you are using a bicycle deck. I could imagine that you could use other back designs such as Tally Ho’s as well, although I’ve never tried. The gimmicks should last a while but care must be taken to get a long life out of them. If you follow Aaron’s performance advice they will spend a lot of time in your pocket and they could easily be damaged. The other thing is that there is a small angle consideration. Aaron shows how to minimize the risk of being caught but you should be aware of it before buying.
I feel like this was very worth the price for the gimmicks and instruction.
