This week's episode of Murphy's Magic's "What's New This Week?" is a whirlwind tour of recent releases, sneak peeks, and industry news, delivered with Murphy's signature energetic style. The video functions as a news and review show, highlighting new products and offering insights into the current magic scene. Connor Quinn provides the voiceover, adding to the show's dynamic feel. The episode kicks off with "Question Time," addressing viewer inquiries about Shrapnel, CTG (Chip Thru Glass), and Phantom. Murphy clarifies that the ring in Shrapnel can be examined, but the safety pin requires a switch. He advises searching for CTG at multiple dealers and notes that the Phantom version shown is a stage prop, not a pocket-sized one. A codeword ("choco block") was revealed to enter a competition, encouraging audience participation. The core of the video focuses on newly released magic products. Espionage by Iarvel Magic and ODDS ON by Wayne Dobson are highlighted as particularly noteworthy releases. A deeper dive into CTG (Chip Thru Glass) by Jeki Yoo emphasizes its visual impact, durable materials, and suitability for TV performances. Murphy notes the chips are US half-size, making them easy to handle. Triadic by Chris Wardle and James Ward, a book test, is praised for its clean, direct, and baffling nature, requiring no fishing or memory work. Brown Bear Magic Shop in Dubai is featured as the "Dealer of the Week," showcasing their extensive selection of books, cards, puzzles, and new tricks, with international shipping available. Magic Bay, known for his afterlife-themed performances, is recognized as the "Artist of the Week," with a clip demonstrating his impressive skills. A review of IGNIS by Sid T is presented by Magic Orthodoxy, praising its invisible angles and innovative coin loading technique. Several items are "Back in Stock," including Adrián Carratala’s Ring to Shoelace (recommended with dark shoes/laces) and The Experiment by Joel Dickinson. Dream Box Party by Jota and Memoire by Stephane Lacroix are also highlighted. The video includes sneak peeks of upcoming releases: Instant Film Magic by Tyler Tumble (a tutorial on ghostly apparitions and vanishing effects), and Carpenter’s Conceptions by Jack Carpenter and Jamie Masteron (a collection of Jack Carpenter's material). Several downloads are showcased, including Memoire (a voice-activated crib for iPhones) and Tic Tac Transformation by Sergey Zmeev. Murphy's Magic consistently promotes community engagement, encouraging viewers to submit questions and share their performances.
