🧙♂️ Dear fellow conjurers and card-slinging misfits,

Let’s cut to the chase: magic is chaos, but I’ve done the dirty work so you don’t have to. Here’s what’s brewing in the cauldron this week.

TL;DR

Adrian Vega’s Killer Blank Prediction gets the Craig Petty seal of approval (sort of).
Madison.cards drops a limited-edition deck that’ll make your fingers sing—or at least shuffle better.
The Ultimate Vanishing Deck vanishes… all subtlety. It’s gloriously gimmicky.
FISM Italy 2025 teases a “calm before the storm”—if the storm is a hurricane of card flourishes.
A tutorial on Card at Any Number that’ll either make you a genius or a nervous wreck.
And much more, including a wallet that’s basically a Swiss Army knife for cheaters (the magical kind).

🃏 Killer Blank Prediction by Adrian Vega | Review Show Special

By magic-tv
Craig Petty and his son Ryland dissect Adrian Vega’s Killer Blank Prediction, a mentalism effect that promises jaw-drops and existential dread. They critique its method, practicality, and whether it’s worth the price of admission—or if it’s just another “predict the future” cash grab.

The Unhinged Take:
If Adrian Vega’s prediction is “you’ll buy this effect and immediately panic about resetting it mid-show,” he’s spot-on. Craig’s review is as balanced as a tightrope walker, praising the impact but side-eyeing the complexity. A must-watch if you like your magic with a side of “why did I choose this life?”

🃏 MAD SWITCH, GREEN SHARPS, final 24 hours of the Sharps Sale at MADISON.cards MAD LOVE 🖖🤚

By DANIELmadison
Daniel Madison hawks his latest Green Sharps decks with the urgency of a man who’s just realized playing cards expire. The Mad Switch deck is the star—slick, gimmick-friendly, and probably too cool for school.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’ve ever wanted to shuffle like a Bond villain, this sale’s for you. The 24-hour panic tactic? Cheeky. But let’s be real: we’ll all cave. Madison’s decks are the magical equivalent of a black turtleneck—effortlessly cool and slightly pretentious.

🃏 This is the Ultimate Vanishing Deck

By MagicWorldUK
Magic World plugs their Ultimate Vanishing Deck, a trick that makes a full deck disappear. No gimmicks? Pah. It’s all about the “wow” factor, and this thing’s got more vanish options than a magician avoiding rent payments.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s the Houdini of decks—dramatic, unapologetic, and probably a nightmare to reset. Perfect for closers or magicians who like to exit stage left with a flourish. Warning: may cause audience members to check their pockets for the rest of eternity.

🌍 FISM ITALY 2025 - CALM BEFORE THE STORM

By MagicWorldUK
A hype reel for FISM Italy 2025, the “Olympics of Magic.” Expect pyrotechnics, tears, and at least one illusionist levitating over the Colosseum. Probably.

The Unhinged Take:
The video’s basically a mood board: “Look at these sparkles! Look at these serious faces!” But if you’re a magic nerd (and let’s face it, you are), it’s enough to make you book a flight to Rome and start practicing your mic drop.

🃏 Card At Any Number - Advanced Card Trick Tutorial

By AMillionCardTricks
A tutorial teaching Card at Any Number, where a spectator’s chosen number reveals their card. It’s math meets misdirection, with a dash of David Blaine’s “I’m too cool for sleights” energy.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’re a masochist who loves memorized decks and existential crises, this is your new obsession. The method’s tighter than a new tuxedo, but the payoff? Bloody brilliant. Just don’t blame me when you accidentally force the number 13.

🎒 Infinity Wallet 2025 by Peter Nardi and Alakazam Review

By ChrisEdwardsMagic
Peter Nardi’s Infinity Wallet is a Swiss Army knife for card cheats: card-to-wallet, peeking, switching—it’s got more functions than a smartphone.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s like Batman’s utility belt for your back pocket. The leather’s classy, the gimmicks are seamless, and the only downside is your audience will never trust a wallet again. Worth it.

🌀 The Desolation of Yigal Mesika TRAILER

By magic-tv
Yigal Mesika’s new special promises levitations, apparitions, and enough fog to choke a dragon. Title: The Desolation. Mood: “I’ve seen things.”

The Unhinged Take:
If Mesika’s last work made you gasp, this trailer’s a full-on panic attack. Theatrical? Absolutely. Worth staying up for? Blimey, yes.

🃏 Magic Review - Cardiographic Lite Bunny by Martin Lewis

By magicorthodoxy
A review of Martin Lewis’ Cardiographic Lite Bunny, a simplified card trick for mere mortals.

The Unhinged Take:
“Lite” here means “you won’t need a PhD in mathematics.” It’s clever, accessible, and perfect for beginners. Like training wheels—but stylish ones.

🃏 Deck Review - Zoltar Fortune-Telling Deck

By magicorthodoxy
A review of the Zoltar Fortune-Telling Deck—esoteric art, USPCC quality, and vibes so mystical you’ll half-expect it to read your future.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s a Tarot deck’s cooler, more practical cousin. Great for themed acts or if you want to creep out your audience while stealing their card.

Farewell

A quick shower thought: The best magic isn’t about the trick—it’s about the pause before the reveal. That split second where the audience forgets to breathe. Chase that moment.

And remember: Always carry a spare deck. And a sense of humor.
