Magic Review - Cerebrum by Dead Rebel Magic

Magic Orthodoxy delivers a critical review of Cerebrum, a $75 kit from Dead Rebel Magic designed to help magicians perform the dangerous 'Blockhead' effect – seemingly hammering a nail into their nostril. David emphasizes that this isn't an illusion but a real physical feat with potential risks, referencing a CNN segment detailing the anatomical dangers. He strongly advises against beginners purchasing the kit without proper training, echoing a warning from Dead Rebel Magic themselves. The kit includes a beautifully aged wooden box, antique-style props like a newspaper graphic and hammer, a real nail, and a 17-minute tutorial video. While praising Dead Rebel Magic's aesthetic and storytelling, David finds the tutorial rushed and recommends supplementing it with further research and potentially a local instructor. The video also promotes Magic Orthodoxy merchandise, highlighting a unique 'magic reveal' t-shirt containing six different reveals, with a link to a separate tutorial explaining their use in a close-up magic act.
