Straight Talk Magic reviews

You tell your spectator that you will do a card trick without cards.  You ask them to think of a black or red card, a court card or a number card, a specific suit and they never tell you the actual card they are thinking of until they are holding a Sharpie so that they… Continue Reading Summit by Patrick Kun and Abstract Effects

Transit is a gimmicked card that lets you move a tied ribbon from one corner to another where the spectator sees you punch three different holes with a hole punch. I am not giving this trick a high rating because I just don’t love it.  I don’t like that you have to carry a hole… Continue Reading Transit by Ron Salamangkero

Standing in front of your spectators you display a one dollar bill.  You immediately change it into a $100 bill.  In a millisecond the bill changes into a blue Visa credit card and in another flip of the wrist, the credit card changes into a gold American Express card. That’s a lot of magical moments… Continue Reading Get Money by Louis Frenchy, George Iglesias and Twister Magic

Never play with a switch board before (like me)?  Well, this baby is worth checking out.  Over the years I have seen various switch boards for sale and they have all been very expensive.  More expensive than Martin Andersen’s Switch Board.  I never saw it in action other than in internet videos and they never… Continue Reading Switch Board by Martin Andersen and www.ideaalab.com

Capped is a quick sleight of hand trick in which you tap a Sharpie against a coin on your open palm and the cap of the Sharpie appears to contain the quarter.   That’s it.  With your $35 dollar purchase you get a small box that contains the gimmick and password protected streaming instruction on Vimeo.… Continue Reading Capped by Sam Sieracki

The Providence playing cards are great looking and exude luxury.  These cards have the potential of becoming an instant classic.  The best part about these cards are the back design.  The design is a two way black, bronze and gold design that contains a single eye in the middle of the card.  The card edges… Continue Reading Providence Playing Cards by The 1914

Damn you Lloyd Barnes!!! (You too Owen Garfield!)  I had things to do and then you went ahead and released Cognito.  That was the end of me.  I have done nothing but immerse myself in Cognito and my daily living TO DO list has only grown in size (exponentially).  I must remember to put down… Continue Reading Cognito by Lloyd Barnes and Owen Garfield

The Mono heXa Chroma Edition playing cards are another in the series of Luke Wadey’s Mono playing cards.  With a hexagram back created by lavender and white stripes, these are very cool looking cards with unusual colors and a metallic shine to the card backs. The pips in the Clubs and Spades contain only black… Continue Reading Mono heXa Playing Cards designed by Luke Wadey: Chroma Edition

Chained is a great routine that you can wear and perform anytime and anywhere.  With Chained, you show your spectators that you are wearing a think stainless steel chain with a Kennedy Half Dollar on it.  The 50 cent piece has two holes drilled through it and the chain is threaded through the two holes… Continue Reading CHAINED by Perry Maynard

I really had mixed emotions about this one and had a hard time ending up on a rating.  I started much lower, then went much higher and then settled on the 6.5 out of 10 for reasons explained herein.   First, this is a great trick.  It is truly amazing and the gaffed deck is… Continue Reading Skymember Presents Isolated by Mr. Xuan
