🎥 Videos Reviewed

🃏 Expansion by Dave Loosley (BAM_magic)

This card gimmick stretches a hole on a card’s back like it’s auditioning for The Matrix. The reviewer drools over its build quality and “reasonable” price but questions if it’s worth buying unless you’re desperate for a visual punch.

The Unhinged Take:
A gimmick that turns a playing card into a rubber band? Blimey, it’s like watching a magician’s version of ASMR—hypnotic but slightly unsettling. Perfect for those who want to freak out their mates at the pub. Just don’t lose the gimmick down the loo.

🎯 Bandit by Trick Trick Boom (RealMagicReview)

Steve Faulkner reviews this trick by Noel Qualter and Roddy McGhie, praising its practicality and cheeky design. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of magic tricks—except it’s probably sharper and less likely to get confiscated at Heathrow.

The Unhinged Take:
If Bandit were a person, it’d be the bloke who swipes your pint and replaces it with a double whiskey. Delightfully deceptive. A must-have for magicians who like their tricks fast, furious, and slightly rude.

💸 G.B.JUAN BILL by Juan Pablo (MurphysMagicSupplies)

A banknote trick where the spectator cuts a corner of their own bill, and it still vanishes/reappears. No switches, no sleight-of-hand—just pure cheek.

The Unhinged Take:
This trick is like a financial advisor who makes your money multiply. Except it’s legal, and you don’t have to pay taxes on the extra bills. A wallet-friendly miracle (literally).

📱 Svengallery (TheMagicMinute)

A digital magic app that turns a spectator’s photo into a gallery-wide invasion. Imagine your ex’s face appearing on every photo in your phone. Spooky, right?

The Unhinged Take:
If you’ve ever wanted to weaponize someone’s phone against them, this is your ticket. Perfect for TikTok fame or scaring your mates into deleting Instagram. Just don’t blame me when Apple sues you.

📱 RCARN (CavanBooth1)

A self-working ACAAN using a smartphone app. No sleight-of-hand, just a deck of cards and a bit of tech wizardry.

The Unhinged Take:
Magic for the lazy (or efficient, depending on your therapist). It’s like ordering a pizza—easy, satisfying, and slightly less romantic than doing it from scratch.

📚 GOLD by Guillaume Botta (EverythingMagicPro99)

A 18-routine JOL wallet guide with ideas involving rings, condoms, and salt. Yes, salt.

The Unhinged Take:
Who knew a wallet could be this kinky? It’s the magician’s Kama Sutra—with more pocket management and fewer awkward yoga poses.

🃏 Impossible Match (AMillionCardTricks)

A beginner-friendly trick involving color changes and David Blaine-esque sleight-of-hand.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s like finding a matching pair of socks in the dryer—utterly impossible, yet somehow it happens. A solid trick for kids or that one mate who still thinks magic is “just tricks.”

🎩 Envision by Dave Loosley (magicorthodoxy)

A visual/mentalism effect reviewed for its worker-friendly practicality.

The Unhinged Take:
If Envision were a hat, it’d be a fedora—stylish, slightly mysterious, and guaranteed to make you roll your eyes at least once.

🎪 Plays Big by Mortenn (VanishingIncMagic)

A FISM-winning jumbo card trick that’s “genuinely incredibly easy.”

The Unhinged Take:
It’s like performing stand-up comedy with a mic drop—no subtlety, all impact. Perfect for magicians who’d rather wow a crowd than solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.

Details here → Plays Big. Literally.

🎩 Farewell

A magician should always leave them wanting more—except when they’re leaving you a five-star review. Remember: the best magic isn’t about the trick; it’s about the look on their face when you make the impossible feel inevitable.

P.S. If you ever perform G.B.JUAN BILL and your spectator faints from shock, buy them a pint. It’s the gentlemanly thing to do.
