Magic Review - Music Madness by Mariano Goni

David from Magic Orthodoxy reviews *Music Madness* by Mariano Goni, a card-and-phone hybrid trick that creates a seamless musical mind-reading experience. The trick involves a custom deck with years and song titles, where a spectator selects a card and mentally chooses a song, and the magician's phone plays the exact song without any verbal clues. The app responds to gestures, making the reveal appear magical. David highlights the organic input method, examinable deck, and instant reset as strengths, but notes the marking system can be tricky and the internet dependency as drawbacks. Priced at $65, he recommends it for mentalists and performers looking for a modern twist on card magic.
