Linking Rings is the name of Paul Zenon’s one-man show in which he presents a somewhat poignant story of his own life and how he, like the rest of us, was sucked into the obsession with the art of magic.  This DVD does not teach any tricks.  Armed with that knowledge, I was slightly disappointed… Continue Reading Paul Zenon in Linking Rings by Big Blind Media

I first heard about the Brass Coin Casket (or the Classic Brass Coin Divination Casket) while trolling the The Magic Café in the “2018 Trick of the Year” thread.  https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=682018&start=180.  Well, it didn’t win first prize but it tied for fourth place and I was intrigued. I have a few things to say about this… Continue Reading Brass Coin Prediction Casket by Airship Magic

When I first saw this promotional video and superlative ad-copy testimonials, I was very psyched to learn the Force of Will. What a great name too! And then the DVD arrived. Boy was I underwhelmed and disappointed. We all know that this DVD is a variation of the classic force, but I thought I would… Continue Reading Force of Will by Dave Hooper

Before this DVD, I had never heard of Eddie McColl. Now, I am a huge fan and admirer of his unbelievable sleight of hand and great presentation. This DVD presents nine routines, all of which are very impressive and many are magician foolers. I will not mislead you that this is not beginner friendly work.… Continue Reading The Glasgow Connection by Eddie McColl and RSVP Magic

This gaffed deck is a one trick pony, but I will bet on that horse every time. There are very few decks that are worth the pocket space when they allow you to perform only one trick, but this trick, FACT (or Fully Automated Card Trick), is well worth giving up some coveted clothing real… Continue Reading FACT (Fully Automatic Card Trick) by Caleb Wiles and Vanishing Inc.

The one that I got is the Prediction Pack, which will… Continue Reading Appearing Business Cards by Sam Gherman (the Prediction Pack)

Big Blind Media really knows how to get the job done. They find the talent, convince them to perform great tricks and divulge the secrets. This DVD is another example of a job well done. George McBride is a great card handler. He knows his stuff and in this project he teaches 17 routines. All… Continue Reading George McBride’s McMiracles With Cards by Big Blind Media

The thing I love about Mark Elsdon’s writing is that I always think it is so damn clever and inspiring. The thing I love about Big Blind Media is that they are allowing us to buy 4 great Elsdon mentalism routines for more than 50% off. In the Mark Elsdon Mega Mentalism eBook Bundle you… Continue Reading The Mark Elsdon Mega Mentalism eBook Bundle @ Big Blind Media

He obviously sold his soul! There is just no way an ordinary man, without the help of the devil, can come up with and present such consistently strong and awesome card magic. He takes from here and there and shakes it up or adds to it and it keeps me hungry for more. Yes people,… Continue Reading Dealing With It – Season 2 by John Bannon and Big Blind Media
