Solid Condom by Magic Diamond: A matchbox penetration trick that’s examinable, instant reset, and suspiciously named.

🎩 The Unhinged Take: Solid Condom by Magic Diamond

Blake Vogt reviews a trick that sounds like a public health campaign but is, in fact, a matchbox penetration effect for the ages. Borrowed ring? Check. Condom wrapper? Double check. Instant reset? Triple check. Vogt calls it “bloody brilliant,” and honestly, who are we to argue? It’s the kind of trick that makes layfolk gasp and magicians quietly weep into their wallets.

The Unhinged Take: A condom wrapper that’s examinable? Sounds like a magician’s version of safe sex—no risk, all reward. Just don’t let your mum see you buying it.

🎩 Princess Test by Erik Casey

Erik Casey reinvents the classic Princess Card Trick with a routine so clean, it’ll make your mum’s Sunday roast jealous. Spectator thinks of a card, it vanishes, and—voilà—the card in their hand is now blank. And yes, they can examine it. Twice.

The Unhinged Take: If magic were a Bond film, this would be the opening scene. High impact, zero sleight of hand, and a kicker that’ll leave your audience wondering if they’ve accidentally joined a cult.

🎩 Saturn Magic - Sharpie Wand by Alan Wong

A gimmicked Sharpie that vanishes, produces, or changes at will. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for magicians—except sharper. And less likely to stab you.

The Unhinged Take: The only thing sharp here is the marketing. But hey, if you’ve ever wanted to turn a Bic into a wand, this is your golden ticket. Just don’t use it to sign divorce papers.

🎩 The Biggest Magic Scandals | 5x5 With Craig Petty

Five minutes, five scandals. Craig Petty dishes on magic’s dirtiest laundry—exposures, thefts, and the occasional public humiliation. It’s like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but with more smoke machines.

The Unhinged Take: Turns out magicians can be drama queens too. Who knew? A must-watch for anyone who’s ever wondered why their mentor won’t return their calls.

🎩 Saturn Magic - Ghostly Scarf

A floating scarf illusion that’s self-working and perfect for spiritual-themed gigs. Think Harry Houdini’s ghost meets ASMR.

The Unhinged Take: If you’ve ever wanted to channel Casper the Overly Dramatic Ghost, this is your prop. Just don’t use it at a funeral—unless you’re into that sort of thing.

🎩 Topit 180 by David Penn

A modern topit that vanishes, steals, and ditches objects with the grace of a ballerina. Comes with 75 minutes of tutorials—because apparently, even vanishing requires a PhD these days.

The Unhinged Take: The only thing topit about this is the price tag. But if you’ve got deep pockets and shallow morals, go for it. Just don’t lose the manual.

🎩 Saturn Magic - Triple Gozinta Boxes

Three nested boxes vanish one by one, leaving your hands empty. It’s like Russian dolls meets Houdini’s worst nightmare.

The Unhinged Take: If you’ve ever wanted to perform a vanish so clean it’d make a mime weep, this is your ticket. Just don’t try to fit a cat in there.

🎩 Saturn Magic - C Pad System

A utility device for card magic. It’s vague, it’s mysterious, and it’s probably just a napkin holder. But hey, mystery sells.

The Unhinged Take: If you’re into concealment and switching, this is your new best friend. Or your worst enemy, depending on how many times you drop it.

🎩 Saturn Magic - Card Morph (Blue Moving Pips Card)

A gimmicked card where the pips animate. It’s like Pokémon cards, but for grown-ups who’ve given up on life.

The Unhinged Take: If you’ve ever wanted to make a card look like it’s having a seizure, this is your jam. Just don’t blame us when your audience calls an exorcist.

🎩 Saturn Magic - Dice Cards

A hybrid of dice and cards. Because apparently, one gimmick wasn’t enough.

The Unhinged Take: If you’ve ever wanted to confuse your audience with geometric symbolism, this is the trick. Just don’t roll a one—unless you enjoy failure.

🎩 Farewell 🎩

Before you vanish like a poorly rehearsed illusion, here’s a shower thought: The best magic isn’t about the gimmicks or the sleight of hand—it’s about the story. Whether you’re using a condom wrapper or a floating scarf, if you can’t sell the moment, you’re just a bloke with a box.

And remember: Always carry a spare deck of cards. You never know when you’ll need to bribe a bartender.
