Hey y'all, so we get a lot of threads on here about beginner products and we don't talk a whole lot about the new stuff we get and use. That's why I made this thread. I'd like to know what you received or purchased this year (or recent past) that you love. I've broken my stuff down into...

If you aren't familiar with Fred Kaps you should acquaint yourself with his magic. He's outstanding!

Osterlind's 13 Steps is also a great course: https://www.penguinmagic.com/s/osterlinds+13+steps

Here's David Blaine on Jon Stewart:

That's hilarious! I've never seen that one!

Sup y'all, There is more magic online than ever before but when I look at magic online I see a lot of repeated material. I'd love to see video that you feel like is rare of magic. Let's share our favorite videos of magic tricks and routines that no one else has seen! I chose this from Paul...

Lots of sleight of hand feels completely impossible for the first few months. This is the case even if you have been performing close-up card magic for years and you try to learn a new move. I am a full-time professional, and am more proficient than most magicians with a deck of cards, I still...

I do like the color monte. Not bothered by the this and that script.

Yeah, I like this one too. I'm glad they got rid of the one before it.

Check out this video, it's free. https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/7876 There's a booktest that uses a phone, it's good but my recommendation is to just pay attention to what he does with the phone and get rid of the book. Also, the soda trick at the end is one of my all-time favorites.

Yeah, that's what I think happened. At the P3 theater they actually keep a list of non magicians who enjoy magic because they make good audiences for the Penguin videos. When you find someone who reacts well, it's not unheard of to return to them later.

Consider rubber bands, specifically consider Joe Rindfleisch's material: His lecture is the best video on rubber band magic out there https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/7676 Here are 2 of my favorite videos of his https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/10976 https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/8389

Yup, that seems about right.

Crediting's a big deal in magic and it has been on the back of my mind lately. There's a ton of great magic that has been created by specific magicians that is miscredited constantly. Many of these tricks are sometimes called "old classics" when they are anything but. Here are some examples I...

It's called Smoke. It's published in several places. I think the only place it is available at the moment is in his DVD set out out by Vanishing Inc called the Devil's Picture Book. Fun piece of trivia, when they were looking for a mentalist for these specials Derren did this one trick at the...

It's a classic for a reason. It's a good trick. I don't love it personally, so I don't do it in my own work. But, it has all the hallmarks of a great trick. Visual, deceptive, engaging etc. If you like it then keep doing it.

I disagree with virtually everything said here. If you can't see the value of what David Blaine has done in magic I don't think we'll see eye to eye on many things. Oh well, that's beside the point. Here didn't have to use a stooge for either of these tricks and that might be why people, to my...

The David Blaine ones are classic! Then the Conan one with David Copperfield: Then the incredible Harry Shearer doing the ridiculous:

Hey guys, this product is definitely one of a kind and totally free. Franz Harary has put a 360 camera in the middle of his stage and filmed his entire show! This week he released one video covering 2 of his illusions. He's included backstage footage, behind the scenes views, and a director's...

I love magic parodies! I recently was shown this one from Rudy Coby. I love it! What were your favorite parodies of the past? There have been some good ones!
