Industrial Revelation – Review

When I was a kid I used to wait expectantly for packages to be delivered from the magic shop. As an adult, even with my passion for magic, it is rare to feel like that. But I have to confess that I couldn’t wait to rip open the packaging when Industrial Revelation – Jamie D [...]

More Memory Man – Review

If our memory serves (!), this is the first time we have reviewed an instant download on Bicyle-Cards.co.uk – so here are our thoughts on More Memory Man by Joel Givens from Vanishing Inc.

The Effect – this isn’t just an effect it is a whole routine which gives the impression that you can memorize [...]

Noted – by Gary Jones – Review

Noted, by Gary Jones, is the third of MagicTao’s latest clutch of magic releases.

Here’s the effect. The magician is holding a small spiral bound notepad – the kind a waiter might take your order on. It visually changes into a pack of Bicycle cards with which you can go straight in to your [...]

Stick-It – review

Stick-It is another new trick from MagicTao. The basic effect is simple to describe – a spectator merely thinks of any card, and when that card is removed from the deck it has a sticker on the back of it, clearly showing you predicted this in advance. And everything (essentially) can be examined. Variations are [...]

Gambit – by Dee Christopher – Review

Gambit is the first of a trilogy of new card magic effects just released by MagicTao. The effect is an extremely clean prediction of a chosen card. Essentially 5 random cards are dealt on the table, the spectator places a poker chip on one of them (no force) and when the chip is turned over [...]

Poker Fly – mini review

We recently reviewed Mark Southworth’s excellent Pop Art and at the same time received a copy of his new Poker Fly. Although we primarily review card magic here, we are doing a mini-review of this one for two reasons. Firstly, most magicians who do card magic also have an interest in close-up magic generally. Secondly, [...]

Bicycle Pirate Deck – First Look

These have been out for a little while now, but we have only just got round to opening them up. We’re talking about the White deck here – though there is also a black deck, which from the pictures I have seen is actually slightly cooler…

They are designed by Eric Duan aka mloong [...]

Pop Art by Mark Southworth – Review

This is a great new and visual opener released by MagicTao. The effect is simple. The magician opens a small art pad to reveal a picture of a deck of cards. With a simple flick a real pack of Bicycle Cards appears leaving only a black border on the pad. Here’s what it looks like…

[...]

Ali Nouira’s Wormhole – Review

Wormhole is the latest release from BBM and is a fantastic and very ingenious signed card to back pocket routine.

This isn’t going to be a long review because there isn’t much to say. It does exactly what it says on the tin – two signed cards very cleanly end up in your back [...]

Aperture v The Inside Job – Review

The latest offering from Cameron Francis and the BBM crew is a DVD with two main effects. We’ll take a look at them in turn.

The Inside Job is a really neat little trick. Here’s the effect…

A spectator selects a card for you and one for themselves, which they sign. The cards are lost [...]
