🧙‍♂️ G’day, night, or existential crisis—whichever time zone you’re currently haunting. Let’s dive into this week’s magical mishmash.

TL;DR

This week: Fire wallets that don’t singe your eyebrows, mentalism pendants that read minds (or at least books), and a magician’s confession about unread books. Plus, a key that cuts through metal like butter and poker chips that predict numbers. Spoiler: The devil’s in the Elmsley Count.
