Greetings, Fellow Sorcerers!

Ah, the magic world’s been busier than a one-handed card sharp at a poker tournament. Let’s dive into the latest videos, shall we? I’ve sifted through the lot and picked the 10 most intriguing ones. Buckle up—this’ll be a bumpy, slightly unhinged ride.

TL;DR

This week’s magic buffet includes a Craig Petty love letter to clever tricks, Saturn Magic’s shiny new gadgets (including a card printer and a ball that materializes out of nowhere), a mind-blowing card routine for beginners, and Taylor Hughes spilling tea on storytelling. Plus, a digital trick that’s not a gimmicky app? Blimey.

🎩 5 Tricks I Wish I Had Made | 5x5 With Craig Petty

By magic-tv

Craig Petty’s five-minute sprint through magic he’d kill to have invented is like a Michelin-starred tasting menu: small bites, big flavor. He praises tricks that marry simplicity with jaw-dropping impact—no PhD in sleight-of-hand required.

The Unhinged Take:
Craig’s basically the Gordon Ramsay of magic here, drooling over effects that make layfolk gasp and pros groan with envy. If you’re after tricks that feel “inevitable” (a word he uses roughly 17 times), this is your cheat sheet. Just don’t blame me when you max out your Saturn Magic tab.

🎩 Saturn Magic - Dream Printer by Bond Lee & ZF Magic

By SaturnMagicShop

A spectator names a card, and poof—it prints itself on a blank sheet. No, it’s not a printer error. It’s a gimmick so diabolically simple, even your nan could pull it off (assuming she owns a laminator).

The Unhinged Take:
This is the magic equivalent of a “cheat code.” No sleight? No problem. Just slap it on Instagram and watch the millennials swoon. Presentation tip: Pretend you’re summoning the card from the astral plane. It’s classier than admitting you just pressed “print.”

🎩 Saturn Magic - SNICKY by Patricio, Bond Lee, & MS Magic

By SaturnMagicShop

A card vanishes and reappears with a snick—like a magician’s version of a Tesla’s “frunk” (front trunk, for the uninitiated). No gimmicks, no reset, just clean, visual magic that’ll make your audience question reality.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a wizard snapping your fingers and making stuff happen, SNICKY’s your ticket. Just practice that wrist flick till it’s smoother than a buttered otter. Bonus: It resets faster than your ex’s dating app profile.

🎩 I SUPERCHARGED 3 Pro Level Card Tricks Into 1 SHOCKING Routine

By MattMcGurk

Matt McGurk slaps together a color separation, oil-and-water, and follow-the-leader into one routine that’s like a magic lasagna—layers of delight. And it’s all self-working, so even the clumsiest among us can shine.

The Unhinged Take:
This is the magician’s equivalent of a IKEA flat-pack: easy to assemble, but bloody impressive when it’s done. Perfect for when you need to wow a crowd without sweating through your shirt. Pro tip: Pair it with a deadpan stare for “mysterious maestro” vibes.

🎩 The Insider | Taylor Hughes

By VanishingIncMagic

Taylor Hughes spills the beans on ditching the church, storytelling, and why family > magic (blasphemy!). He’s the kind of guy who’d make Dumbledore blush with his wisdom.

The Unhinged Take:
Taylor’s the anti-David Copperfield: more “vibe with the crowd” than “look at my private jet.” His take on storytelling? It’s like adding truffle oil to your magic—elevates everything. And if you’re a workaholic, his “family first” speech might save your marriage.

🎩 Prestige by Matthew Wright and Craig Petty

By MurphysMagicSupplies

A car key morphs into a supercar key. No, it’s not a car ad. It’s a gimmicked prop that’s as slick as a Bond villain’s pocket watch.

The Unhinged Take:
This one’s for the posh crowd. Perform it at a valet station and watch jaws drop. The 40-minute tutorial probably includes instructions on how to say “prestige” with a French accent. Worth it for the “how’d you do that?” factor alone.

🎩 Iris by The Daily Magician. Way Better Than I Expected

By RealMagicReview

A digital card trick that doesn’t require Wi-Fi? Steve Faulkner’s shock is palpable. It’s like finding out your toaster can also make crumpets.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’ve ever cursed app-based magic for buffering mid-performance, Iris is your redemption arc. It’s fast, reliable, and works on borrowed devices. Just don’t let the tech bros know—it’ll ruin their day.

🎩 Saturn Magic - Ball on Card (Blue) by Bond Lee & MS Magic

By SaturnMagicShop

A blue ball materializes on a card like a magical blueberry. It’s so simple, it’s bonkers.

The Unhinged Take:
This prop’s the MVP of impromptu magic. Stick it in your pocket and unleash it at parties. Warning: The blue ball might clash with your white sneakers. Priorities, people.

🎩 Saturn Magic - CHESS Black Playing Cards by Hidden Light

By SaturnMagicShop

Black cards for goths who play poker. They’re sleek, stylish, and scream “I own a tuxedo but never wear it.”

The Unhinged Take:
These cards are like a little black dress—timeless, but only useful if you’re trying to seduce an audience. Pair them with a smoky gaze and a dry martini.

🎩 Nique Tan Chats - Random by Carl Irwin

By niquetan

A mentalism trick where a spectator’s free choice matches your prediction. No forcing, no sleight—just pure, unadulterated mind-reading vibes.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’ve ever wanted to fake psychic powers without the hassle of a crystal ball, Random is your new best mate. Just don’t use it to predict lottery numbers. The universe might revoke your privileges.

Farewell

Did you know the first recorded magic trick was a dove vanishing in 2700 BCE? Makes you wonder what ancient magicians used for gimmicks. Probably a pigeon with commitment issues.
