🃏 “Mentalism is ultimately going to have to be about performance” – Christopher Carter

By penguinmagicshop
Christopher Carter drops a truth bomb: mentalism isn’t about making people feel like they’ve been hit by a truck of confusion—it’s about making them feel something, even if it’s just the thrill of a well-timed gasp.

The Unhinged Take:
Mentalism that prioritizes emotional resonance over “How’d he know my PIN?!” is like choosing a three-course meal over a crisps packet. Bold. Nutritious. Slightly pretentious.

🃏 Tabled False Cut | Sleight of Hand Tutorial

By Thecardists
Andrew from TheCardists teaches a tabled false cut smoother than a buttered badger. Ideal for keeping your deck stacked without looking like you’ve rehearsed in front of a mirror for 12 hours.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s the magical equivalent of a poker face—no matter how many times they watch, they’ll never catch you bluffing. Just don’t drop the cards. Ever.

📚 Dani DaOrtiz NEW book! | July 16

By MurphysMagicSupplies
Dani DaOrtiz’s 6 (LIMITED) teases like a Victorian flirt—subtle, saucy, and likely to sell out before you finish this sentence. Also, flash ink, mind-reading chips, and a deck called Crazy Sam’s Mind.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’re the sort who judges a book by its cover (and let’s be honest, we all do), this one’s likely to make your shelf look suspiciously well-read.

🧮 Insane Mathematical Trick! Tutorial

By SeanDevine
A math trick so self-working, even your nan could do it after two sherries. No gimmicks, just numbers that bend reality. Spoiler: 2 + 2 still equals 5.

The Unhinged Take:
No need to break a sweat—or a deck. Just a few mental gymnastics and you’re golden. Just don’t mention the Pythagorean Theorem. Boring.

🟩 GREEN SLEIGHTS with The GREEN SHARPS

By DANIELmadison
A green-themed deck from Madison Cards, likely to make your cardistry look like a forest fire. Collaborator The Green Sharps promises gaff cards sharper than your mother-in-law’s tongue.

The Unhinged Take:
If green’s your lucky color, this might just be the ace up your sleeve—or the entire deck.

🛍️ Real reactions on the streets of New York

By VanishingIncMagic
The Greek Peek wallet gets tested on unsuspecting New Yorkers. Result? Faces melted like ice cream in a sauna.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s like having a secret lover in your pocket, whispering secrets only you can use. Wink.

🎭 All In, Mind Waves, Scribble Snap & Multi QR

By magic-tv
Craig & Ryland review four tricks, from card collabs to QR code sorcery. Highlights: All In fools even magicians; Multi QR is techy but niche.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s like having a pint with mates who’ve already done the legwork—no need to wade through duds.

🌀 Twisting 13 Plus by Nojima & Bacon Magic

By SaturnMagicShop
A modern twist on the classic Twisting the Aces, now with 13 cards and the cultural fusion of sushi pizza.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s the magical equivalent of a jazz solo—improvised yet precise, with a dash of flair.

🔍 Optics Pro by Tobias Dostal Henry Harrius– My First Performance & Review

By RealMagicReview
Steve Faulkner tests Optics Pro, a visual effect so slick it’ll make your spectators question reality—or at least where they left their keys.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s the sort of trick that makes you question reality—or at least where you left your keys.

🔮 Unlimited Sneak Peek ft Symbolic Connections by Terry Tyson

By AlakazamMagicUK
Terry Tyson’s Symbolic Connections blends mentalism with theater, ending in a blank-paper twist that’ll make you gasp. Promo for Alakazam Unlimited, which is basically Netflix for magicians.

The Unhinged Take:
It’s like therapy, but cheaper and with more oohs and aahs.

🎩 Farewell

A quick shower thought: The best magic isn’t about the how—it’s about the why. Why did that moment make your heart race? Why did the stranger in the crowd laugh? Chase that.

Also, fun fact: The first recorded magic trick was an Egyptian priest making a dove appear in 2700 BCE. So, you know, pressure’s on.

Stay unhinged,
