🃏 Savant Deck by Craig Petty & Lloyd Barnes (BigBlindMedia)

This gimmicked deck lets you calculate card totals faster than a calculator on Red Bull and name pocketed cards like a psychic tax auditor. No duplicates, no marks, just pure mathematical witchcraft.

The Unhinged Take:
Imagine if your calculator had a PhD in deception. The Savant Deck is like having a cheat code for card magic—perfect for when you want to outsmart both layfolk and fellow magicians. Just don’t let it near a blackjack table.

🧳 JOL Plus Wallet by Jerry O’Connell & Propdog (ChrisEdwardsMagic)

A handcrafted wallet that secretly loads cards, coins, or your ex’s wedding ring into Bonsalopes. Features a “no-palm” system and leather so posh it probably judges your life choices.

The Unhinged Take:
This wallet is like a butler who also moonlights as a spy. Soft leather for bulky secrets, hard leather for sleek cons—either way, it’s the Swiss Army knife of sleight-of-hand. Just don’t try to hide a cat in it.

🃏 CARD SWITCHES with Derren Brown’s Playing Cards (DANIELmadison)

Daniel Madison shows off Derren Brown’s cards, which handle so smoothly they’ll make you question why you ever used Bicycle Standard.

The Unhinged Take:
If Derren Brown’s cards were a person, they’d be the one who walks into a room, does a perfect backflip, and leaves without saying a word. Madison’s switches are crisp enough to slice bread—though I’d stick to actual bread if you’re not a card ninja.

🎉 Amazing Magic Tricks + Free Giveaways! (itsallthingsmagic)

A live stream called “Taco Tuesday” where you comment “WIN” for a shot at free magic. The video’s vibe: a raffle at a pub quiz night.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’ve ever wanted to win free magic tricks while eating tacos at 8:30 PM EST, this is your golden ticket. Just be prepared to lose to someone named “MagicMike84” who’s been lurking since 2012.

🎨 Doodle Queens Magic Trick (AlakazamMagicUK)

A whimsical, Bicycle-branded deck with doodle queens. Designed for laughs, not heists.

The Unhinged Take:
This trick is the magical equivalent of wearing socks with cartoon sloths—fun, lighthearted, and perfect for audiences who’d panic if you pulled a rabbit out of a hat. Just don’t use it at a black-tie event.

🎩 Conventions, Tributes & Drama | Magic News (magic-tv)

Craig Petty recaps the Magic Circle Convention, pays tribute to Trevor Lewis, and drops new trick releases.

The Unhinged Take:
If you missed the Magic Circle Convention, this is your gossip column. Spoiler: Trevor Lewis’s legacy is still casting a longer shadow than a vampire at sunset.

🃏 Under The Spread Card Force - Tutorial (AMillionCardTricks)

A beginner-friendly force that’s as simple as pretending to care about your friend’s podcast.

The Unhinged Take:
This force is the “Hello, World!” of card magic—easy to learn, but if you mess it up, maybe just give up now. Perfect for kids’ parties or exorcising your inner perfectionist.

🔥 The Trick That FOOLS EVERY MAGICIAN! [Revealed] (steventaputoro)

A card trick claiming to fool pros. Method? A “cleverly disguised principle” or just a magician’s version of a “trust fall.”

The Unhinged Take:
If this trick truly fools magicians, it’s either genius or cursed. I’d test it on your least-liked magic buddy first. Bonus: It’s the perfect revenge for that time they ruined your card trick with a “Well, actually…”

🪙 Hopping Shocking Half by NameKin (SaturnMagicShop)

A coin trick with a “shocking” half-dollar gimmick. NameKin’s specialty: making coins vanish like your willpower at a bakery.

The Unhinged Take:
If you’ve ever wanted to make a coin hop like a caffeinated grasshopper, this might be your jam. Just don’t lose the gimmick down the sofa—coin magic’s eternal nemesis.

🧩 Visible Block Penetration (StevensMagicEmporium)

A block penetration effect that defies logic. Or as I call it: “How to Make Wood Do the Macarena.”

The Unhinged Take:
If this trick involves actual magic (and not just a hidden hinge), it’s worth the price of admission. Penetration effects are like a good soufflé—delicate, dramatic, and slightly pretentious.

🎩 Farewell, Fellow Sorcerers

Did you know the first recorded magic trick was an ancient Egyptian conjurer making a dove vanish in 2500 BCE? Spoiler: The dove probably just flew off. Moral of the story? Always check for exits.

Until next time, keep your gimmicks sharp and your eyebrows raised.
