SleightfulON EDGE by Angelo Carbone - Magic Trick Review
Tyler Lunsford reviews 'On Edge' by Angelo Carbone, a visually stunning magic trick where a house of cards balances impossibly on a single point before collapsing dramatically. He praises the trick's visual appeal and creative method but notes its challenges, including the need for practice and the fragility of the gimmick. Suitable for parlor or stage shows, the trick is best for intermediate magicians willing to invest time and effort. Tyler highlights the importance of storytelling and atmosphere in performing the trick effectively. Despite its drawbacks, he considers 'On Edge' a show-stopping addition for the right performer.
