Best Magic Tricks This Week! (02/05/2025)

This week's video is a review showcasing three highly-regarded magic tricks, selected for magicians seeking impactful additions to their routines. The creator shares his enthusiasm and practical experience with each effect, emphasizing their suitability for various performance settings. He clearly loved each trick and was excited to share his experience with them. First up is Hopping Chips by N2G, a modern take on the classic Hopping Halves routine. The creator was so impressed that he had already commissioned a custom set before the product was even released, highlighting its appeal. This effect replaces traditional coins with poker chips, offering a visually striking and contemporary presentation. The set includes gimmicked and un-gimmicked chips for versatility. Skill level is considered very easy, with a quick reset time, ideal for walk-around magic. Next, the video features Notion of Motion by Angelo Carbone, a legendary release originally available for a high price but now accessible for a more reasonable amount. It's an any card named rising card effect that overcomes previous limitations, allowing the deck to be shown before and after the trick. Finally, the video highlights Ultimate Free Choice by Alexander Hermann, a budget-friendly trick perfect for strolling and stand-up performers. This trick involves a group of spectators eliminating cards until only one remains, which matches a card secretly held by the magician. The creator highlights the free process of card selection and the kicker ending where additional cards in the magician's pocket also match the chosen card. The video concludes with a reminder to visit allthingsmagic.com and an invitation to join the weekly "Taco Tuesday for Magicians" live stream.
