🃏 GREEN TWISTERS Playing Cards by DANIELmadison

Daniel Madison’s latest deck is a minimalist marvel—think “I’m not trying, but my cards are flawless” energy. Designed for cardistry and sleight-of-hand, these green beauties scream “look at me” while pretending not to. Perfect for magicians who value style and substance (unlike your last relationship).

The Unhinged Take: If you’ve ever wanted to perform card magic while looking like a Bond villain, these are your jam. The green hue? Subtle enough for a séance, flashy enough for TikTok. Just don’t lose them down the loo.

🎁 Massive Magic Unboxing by EverythingMagicPro99

A magician’s Christmas morning: TNT’s explosive card trick, Matteo Pittenger’s Chronos Reel (time travel without a DeLorean), and Marlo’s Magazines (for when you want to sound clever at parties). The host’s excitement is contagious—imagine a puppy with a wand.

The Unhinged Take: TNT’s “bang” effect is pure showmanship crack. Marlo’s Magazines? A deep dive into card theory that’ll make you feel like a wizard scholar. Just don’t eat the close-up pad—it’s not a biscuit.

👀 The Bigblindmedia Peek Wallet Trailer by BigBlindMedia

This wallet’s dual-opening design is like having a secret handshake with your pocket. Seal a business card inside, peek discreetly, and bam—mentalism gold. Ideal for corporate gigs or stalking exes (joke’s on you, they’re already blocked).

The Unhinged Take: Sleeker than your average con artist’s prop. The zippered pocket? Genius. Now if only it could pay my bar tab.

🧠 A.B.See by Spidey by sebastiantoca9208

Sebastian reviews Spidey’s mentalism trick with the gravitas of a man who’s seen too many gimmicked decks. Highlights: ease of use, reset speed, and whether it’ll make audiences gasp or just check their phones.

The Unhinged Take: If Spidey’s mind-reading doesn’t work, blame your Wi-Fi. This trick’s probably best paired with a tinfoil hat and a belief in ley lines.

🧮 Mindculator By Gieltizer by MurphysMagicSupplies

A calculator that forces numbers, changes totals, and resets faster than your ex’s dating life. No math required—just a battery and a cheeky grin.

The Unhinged Take: The only calculator that won’t judge your lack of GCSEs. Perfect for mentalism or scamming your mates out of pub tabs.

400 decks, 50% off. Math: 400 decks × 50% off = one very happy hoarder. Brands like Bicycle and Theory11—stock up before your rival magician snaps them up.

The Unhinged Take: If you don’t buy these, are you even a magician? Or just a person who occasionally flicks playing cards at the cat?

📦 How to Put a Collector's Card Storage Box Together by magicorthodoxy

A tutorial for assembling a storage box. Because even your 400-deck collection needs a wardrobe.

The Unhinged Take: IKEA, but for card nerds. If you build it, they will come (to judge your life choices).

🃏 How to Force a Card by magicorthodoxy

Inspired by Annemann’s classic text, this covers forces like riffle, cross-cut, and classic—because free choice is an illusion, darling.

The Unhinged Take: Forcing a card is just psychological puppetry. Now go read The Secret and pretend you’re profound.

🃏 Easy Card Trick by MattMcGurk

Self-working trick, guaranteed to fool you first. Math-based, no sleight—perfect for magicians who prefer “set it and forget it.”

The Unhinged Take: If this trick doesn’t work, check your ego. It’s foolproof, not you-proof.

Farewell

A quick shower thought: The best magic trick is convincing people you’re not a menace. Also, I’ve learned that 400 decks on sale is a gateway drug to owning a cat named “Ace.” Stay shady, folks.

Until next time, keep the cards close and the patter closer.
