Greetings, Fellow Conjurers!

Ah, another week, another deluge of magic videos to sift through while sipping lukewarm tea and pretending we’re not slightly unhinged. Let’s dive into the digital rabbit hole and see what treasures—or spectacular disasters—await.

TL;DR

This week: Redemption (practical card tricks for pros), Derren Brown’s zen advice (focus on craft, not clout), Oz Pearlman’s ATM PIN stunt (skepticism-defying mentalism), gimmicks that zig-zag (literally), Daniel Madison’s poker lesson (gambling with flair), Daniel Garcia’s One Card (engineered wizardry), lie detectors that kick (card-based truth serum), Moser’s Monte (classic with a twist), non-safety pins (linking pins, examinable), and credit card printing (modern magic in your wallet).

🃏 Redemption by Red Nist (BAM_magic)

A book of six card tricks tailored for working pros, blending variety with practicality. Think of it as a Swiss Army knife for your card repertoire—minus the cheese spreader.

The Unhinged Take: If you’re a magician who performs for actual humans (not just your cat), this book’s your new best mate. The routines are audience-tested, not just theory-spouted. Discount codes included—because even magic needs a sales boost.

🎩 Derren Brown’s Advice for Magicians (penguinmagicshop)

Derren Brown spills the beans on success: stop chasing validation, embrace the grind, and let luck meet preparation. Basically, be excellent, then wait for the universe to notice.

The Unhinged Take: Imagine a TED Talk hosted by a man who once convinced a skeptic he’d won the lottery. Brown’s wisdom isn’t just for magicians—it’s for anyone tired of “hustle culture” but still wants to kill it in their craft.

🧠 Oz Pearlman’s ATM Pin Code Reveal (PigCake)

On The Joe Rogan Experience, Pearlman guessed Rogan’s PIN using hot reads or social engineering. The result? A skeptic looking like he’d seen a ghost.

The Unhinged Take: This isn’t just a trick—it’s a masterclass in audience manipulation. If you can make a man who interviews Elon Musk look baffled, you’ve won at life.

🎩 Zig Zag Card & Angel Flight Card (StevensMagicEmporium)

Two gimmicks from Brazil’s finest card wizard: a signed card that disassembles like a Transformer, and an angel that flits around like it’s late for tea.

The Unhinged Take: These are the sorts of gizmos that make you wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Perfect for magicians who like their magic visual, bonkers, and slightly extra.

🃏 The Poker Lesson (DANIELmadison)

Daniel Madison teaches a self-working poker demo where a shuffled deck reveals every hand—from high card to royal flush. Gaff card optional, but why resist?

The Unhinged Take: If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a cardsharp without the sleight-of-hand nightmares, this is your golden ticket. The kicker ending? Pure cheeky bastardry.

🃏 One Card by Daniel Garcia (itsallthingsmagic)

A 1mm-thick prediction device with 16 outs, weatherproof construction, and a reveal so clean it’ll make your ex jealous.

The Unhinged Take: This isn’t a trick—it’s a Swiss watch with a PhD in deception. Garcia’s love letter to practicality is a must-have for magicians who value elegance over elbow grease.

🃏 Nothing But The Truth (sebastiantoca9208)

A lie detector routine where a spectator’s card transforms every card in the device. Self-working, portable, and laugh-out-loud reactions guaranteed.

The Unhinged Take: If you’ve ever wanted to channel a cheesy detective show and make it hauntingly magical, this is your jam. Just don’t blame us when you overuse the kicker.

🃏 Moser’s Miracle Monte (magic-tv)

A modern Three-Card Monte with deceptive handling. Reviewed by Craig Petty and son Ryland, who are equal parts brutal and brilliant.

The Unhinged Take: It’s like your gran’s knitting—traditional, but with a twist that’ll leave you scratching your head. Perfect for magicians who want to hustle without the hustle vibe.

📌 Non-Safety Pins (ellusionist)

Juan Colas reinvents linking pins with 100% examinable pins, no switches, and a method so clean it’ll make purists weep.

The Unhinged Take: If you’ve ever fumbled a pin switch mid-performance, this is your salvation. It’s like magic origami—but with more clinking noises.

💳 Credit Swipe (penguinmagictricks5930)

Craig Petty’s credit card printing routine—spectators “print” their fingerprints on blank plastic. Resets instantly, survives spills, and lives in your wallet.

The Unhinged Take: The most adult magic trick yet. It’s like carrying a tiny printing press in your back pocket—perfect for magicians who want to impress bankers and bartenders.

Farewell

Did you know octopuses can escape from locked jars? Much like your average magician trying to keep secrets. Stay sharp, stay slightly unhinged, and for goodness’ sake, rehearse.
