Saturn Magic Live Thursday 10th October 2024

Mark Travison from Saturn Magic delivers a lively and conversational overview of new and noteworthy magic products recently added to their website in this 'news' style video. It's a rapid-fire first impression of various items, shared in a relaxed and engaging manner, with Mark emphasizing that these are his opinions rather than in-depth analyses. The video kicks off with a mention of Saturn Magic's sale clearance area, highlighting deals on items like the Balloon Oracle and Color Match. New releases discussed include Inkling, Trident, and Scary Book. A significant portion focuses on Easy Tones, a mentalism deck utilizing paint swatches, which Mark particularly enjoyed, noting routines suitable for beginner to intermediate skill levels. He also explores Omni A, a portable effect involving a block appearing from a cellophane-wrapped box, and Penil, a smart pen with a high price point that Mark questions due to readily available technology. Mark touches on techniques like those used in Easy Tones routines, the clever design of Omni A, and the principle behind the 'Tic Tac' trick using friction ink, while also offering performance tips such as routine sequencing and careful handling of gimmicks. He concludes with a slight concern about the abundance of mentalism decks and a generally positive assessment of the new products, praising their ingenuity and potential for performance, and explaining how pricing can be influenced by included items.
