Sleightly Unhinged's Review - 10/07/2025

👋 Ahoy, fellow conjurers and purveyors of the impossible! 👋
Another week, another batch of magic videos to sift through like a deck of cards after a botched false shuffle. Let’s dive in—spoiler alert: there’s a table that changed a man’s life, a memory app that’s basically cheating, and a card trick that’s so cheeky it should wear a bowtie.
TL;DR
This week: Master the Classic Pass (if you’ve got the patience of a saint), drool over Cavan Booth’s table obsession, and marvel at Hypermnesia, the memory hack that’s basically wizard-level cheating. Plus, Nikolas Mavresis drops two themed miracles, and James Brown reinvents the Travellers plot with zero sleight of hand. Oh, and someone made a stage-sized “Vacuum” effect. Why? Because why not.

🎩 Learn The Classic Pass - Tutorial by steventaputoro
This is the card magic equivalent of learning to walk before you can levitate. The Classic Pass lets you sneak a card to the top or bottom of the deck like a sly, card-shuffling fox. The tutorial breaks down the mechanics, but let’s be honest—this move takes more practice than a monk’s meditation routine.
The Unhinged Take:
A foundational sleight that’s equal parts elegant and infuriating. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a Victorian pickpocket, this is your jam. Just don’t expect to master it before breakfast.

🎩 This CHANGED how I perform magic! by CavanBooth1
Cavan Booth, a man of mystery and eBay binges, reveals how a humble table transformed his magic. Spoiler: It’s not just furniture—it’s a performance partner. Table 3 (yes, three) gets its own Amazon plug, suggesting it’s the Swiss Army knife of close-up surfaces.
The Unhinged Take:
Who knew a table could be this dramatic? If you’ve ever tripped over a wobbly prop mid-trick, you’ll appreciate the romance here. It’s like Titanic, but with fewer icebergs and more card flourishes.

🎩 Hypermnesia by Feodor UPDATE by EverythingMagicPro99
A digital tool that lets you fake a photographic memory. Sync it with your contacts, and bam!—you’re a human Google. The finale? A spectator rattles off three digits, and you recall every contact with that sequence. It’s like being a magician and a stalker.
The Unhinged Take:
This is the cheat code for memory workers. Perfect for those who want to impress strangers with their “recall” of their Wi-Fi password. Wink.

🎩 Saturn Magic - Seven Wonders of the World by Nikolas Mavresis
Another Mavresis creation, this one themed around ancient wonders. No details yet, but if it’s anything like his Tattoo Tales (see below), expect jaw-dropping visuals and a plot twist worthy of an Indiana Jones flick.
The Unhinged Take:
If this is half as good as staring at the Pyramids, we’re in for a treat. Just don’t ask how he fits the Hanging Gardens into a card trick.
Details here → Seven Wonders of the World
🎩 Saturn Magic - Tattoo Tales by Nikolas Mavresis
A tattoo-themed miracle? Sign me up. Likely involves skin writing, revelations, or a transformation that’ll make your ink jealous. Mavresis’s style? Think artful with a dash of “how did he do that?”
The Unhinged Take:
For magicians who want their tricks as edgy as their sleeve tattoos. Warning: May cause sudden urges to play “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” on a saxophone.
Details here → Tattoo Tales
🎩 Vacuum by Hide and Sergey Koller by itsallthingsmagic
A stage-sized version of the viral card hole trick. The gimmick? A plastic card with a “precision internal mechanism.” Translation: It’s bombproof and won’t quit mid-show like your last relationship.
The Unhinged Take:
Big, bold, and built for the back row. If you’ve ever wanted to perform magic that screams “I’m a professional, but also a showoff,” this is it.

🎩 Watch The Show...Learn The Secrets by VanishingIncMagic
Joshua Jay’s Six Impossible Things—now with 4 extra hours of behind-the-scenes tea-spilling. A masterclass in theatrical magic, if you’ve got the cash and the patience to binge-watch.
The Unhinged Take:
At this price, you’d expect him to teach you how to fold reality. Still, Joshua’s the kind of magician who could make a tax audit feel magical.

🎩 Bottle Pocket, Fire Fighter, Cane Table & Palm Reader Card by magic-tv
Craig & Ryland review four gadgets, including a fire effect and a cane table. Highlights: The Bottle Pocket (for magicians who moonlight as bartenders) and the sold-out Palm Reader Card.
The Unhinged Take:
Craig’s reviews are like a pub chat with your clever uncle. Bonus points for mentioning a fire trick—because nothing says “family-friendly” like pyrotechnics.

🎩 Spell 2.0 Magic Card Trick Tutorial by BestMagic
A spelling-based trick where the spectator’s own words reveal their card. It’s interactive, clean, and requires less sleight of hand than a toddler’s sticker book.
The Unhinged Take:
Proof that simplicity slaps. Just don’t blame us if your audience starts shouting “Bingo!” mid-routine.

🎩 Unlimited Sneak Peek ft Brainless Travellers by James Brown by AlakazamMagicUK
A “brainless” take on the Travellers plot—no sleight, just subtlety. Cards vanish and reappear like they’re playing hide-and-seek. Also, promo for Alakazam Unlimited (£4.99/month—cheaper than therapy).
The Unhinged Take:
If you’re lazy but still want to wow, this is your Hail Mary. The double-traveler climax? Chef’s kiss.

Farewell
A quick shower thought: The best magic often hides in the mundane. A table, a phone app, a spelling game—suddenly, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Also, if anyone figures out how to fit the entire Great Wall of China into a card trick, let me know. I’ll be the one practicing the Classic Pass until my thumbs fall off.
Stay unhinged,
