SleightfulSaturn Magic Live Thursday 19th September 2024
Mark Travis delivers a rapid-fire review of the latest magic releases available on Saturn Magic's website in this news-style video. After a brief hiatus, the show has shifted to Thursday broadcasts for better convenience. Mark highlights a concerning trend of gimmicks being released without a solid routine or purpose, praising companies like Ival and TCC for their quality electronic and mechanical products at reasonable prices. He expresses a desire for more English-speaking tutorials from Ival to improve clarity. Among the reviewed items, the Dream Table Toe Toe Pro (G Magic) impressed Mark with its versatility for switching and appearances, despite its £1,000 price tag. The Ival Pad, priced at £365, was deemed a 'genius' product for its ability to display writing on a mobile phone, perfect for social media and close-up work. Other notable mentions include the Pata Table, Forget Me Not, Jump Pips, 52 Predictions, Classico Immortal Wine Glasses, Classico XO Game, Not so Sharp, and Wooden Mental Logs. Mark emphasizes the importance of seamless switching, the potential of social media magic, and the need for strong routines to justify the use of gimmicks.
