🎩 Josh Janousky’s Prevail Triumph Variation

By: MurphysMagicSupplies
Josh Janousky serves up a Triumph variation that’s less “been there, done that” and more “blimey, how’d he do that?” Think clean handling, bold reveals, and a false shuffle that’s smoother than your ex’s new partner.

The Unhinged Take:
Josh’s Prevail is like a well-tailored suit—sharp, deceptive, and never out of style. If you’ve been sleeping on Triumph, this’ll wake you right up. Just don’t try the false shuffle after three pints.

🎩 F1 Nitro Wallet by Pete Nardi

By: BAM_magic
A leather-bound beast of a wallet that does card switches, peeks, and Out to Lunch routines. It’s the Swiss Army knife of card magic—just don’t use it to buy your mate’s round at the pub.

The Unhinged Take:
This wallet’s more versatile than a magician’s patter. Durable? Check. Multi-functional? Check. Subtle enough to not scream “I’m a gimmick”? Debatable. But hey, if you’ve got pockets deeper than a magician’s secrets, go for it.

🎩 Hypermnesia: The Memory App

By: TheMagicMinute
A smartphone app that lets you recall birthdays, phone numbers, and your third cousin’s favorite cheese. It’s like having a photographic memory, minus the effort.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’ve ever forgotten a spectator’s name mid-trick, this is your digital safety net. Just don’t let the audience see you Googling their details. “Ah, you’re a Pisces? No wonder your card vanished!”

🎩 Blake Vogt’s Duct Tape Opener

By: EverythingMagicPro99
A spectator names a card, you rip duct tape off your face, and—voilà—the card’s there. No forces, no pre-show, just pure “how the hell?”

The Unhinged Take:
This is the magical equivalent of a mic drop. The gimmick’s solid, the reset’s instant, and the shock value? Off the charts. Just warn your audience you’re not auditioning for The Masked Singer.

🎩 Self-Working Time Prediction Trick

By: MattMcGurk
Three phases, zero sleight of hand. Name a time, pick a card, and let the mathemagical chaos unfold. Perfect for when you’ve had one too many and still need to impress.

The Unhinged Take:
A beginner-friendly stunner. The structure’s tighter than a magician’s budget, and the time theme adds a cheeky twist. Just don’t blame us if you start checking your watch mid-performance.

Farewell

A quick shower thought: The best magic often hides in plain sight—like a well-worn book of Nick Trost’s tricks or a wallet that’s been in your pocket all along. Also, never trust a magician with a smartphone. They’re probably cheating.

Parting Spell:
“A conjurer who can’t laugh at themselves is like a deck of cards with no jokers—utterly pointless.”

Until next time,
