There's a beginning, isn't it?
Andrib.
Now, you're listening to 108.9 FM.
Adjust your frequencies fine tune your mind
and place, as you prepare to fall through the trap The universe
is a tree orful magic.
Welcome back to another episode of 108.9 Trapdoor Radio.
With me your host, Lloyd Barnes beaming to you from somewhere
on the other side of the globe.
The sawdust from between my ears through the airwaves into your skull.
Hope we were on a great summer.
We're back from the summer break.
Thanks for bearing with me for being patient.
My kid went back to school on Tuesday
and it's straight back to the lab.
I'm trying to get.
I want to sound cool.
I want to sound like my studio.
I want to call it the lab, where we make the magic we do stuff.
But it's just every time I say it Kaylee looks at me and she's like, just shut up. you just sound so lame.
So so but I'll keep working on it.
We're back in the lab.
Yeah, we're back in the lab, baby.
and thanks to the millions of you across the world.
And by millions, I mean, five
or six of you that have been asking, when's the next episode coming back out?
Well, the answer to that question, my friends, is now,
if you can hear this, if you're listening to the sound of my
blocked nose, hay fever voice,
who gets hay fever in the middle of a a
two-week-long rainstorm, this guy does.
That's me.
So anyway, in this episode, we have a lot to catch up on.
I've like, I don't really
keep my eye on my finger on the pulse of
the new releases or I haven't been at least for the summer.
We're like a hands-on family.
I don't really need like it was some holiday with my kids.
I didn't want to like just be sat at home, sticking them on tablets or whatever people do.
We are very much
out, go get them.
So I haven't followed the magic industry very much.
I haven't really seen many new releases.
I obviously I've seen like a couple of trailers pop up on like my YouTube
channel that I like for shops that I subscribe to things.
So a little bit aware of some stuff.
But in real time in this episode, I'm going to go through some
mag magic websites, some forums, check out what
some of the new releases, I'll watch some trailers with you.
So you'll see my reaction to them in real time
And I'll share with you some big news.
And that's kind of what I'll get into first.
Is there some big news?
This year, it's kind of like the yes year, the year of
saying yes, maybe, or maybe taking off some more bucket list stuff
Well, basically, this is it.
So I actually genuinely, this is not like a thing to
help me get engagement or to build up like the algorithm
things.
I need your help because you don't understand why.
So let me tell you the news.
Let me tell you the news and then I'm just going to your help.
It's not a lot to ask.
I just need some suggestions, basically, for real, like some advice down below.
So that's the thing.
I have a bucket list.
I don't I don't lecture, right?
I say no to pretty much every single lecture
request that comes in, I say no to it.
And it's not because of too cool for school.
It's not because of any aspurious reasons.
It's just because I don't really enjoy lecturing.
It's not my thing.
My passion is creat in my magic and making videos
I don't really have that urge to be like a live performer.
I don't know.
I think that's such an odd thing when I talk
to people like on the rare occasions that like lay
people find out what I do for a living, when I say I do magic, but
I don't perform, it kind of like that's they look at me like that's odd
And it is, I suppose.
And then I explain it's more like singers and songwriters, you know, how you have
some people that love to sing and then some people that love to write songs, but
those songwriters may not love to sing.
And those singers may not love to write songs.
It's kind of that category.
It's more, for me, it's it's the problem solved
inside. well, that's literally what it is that I love.
And I like Nick of the video side of it like making videos, photography,
it's being a hobby since I don't know how old.
So with that being said, anyway, I always say no
to lectures, but I have like this whole imposteror syndrome
theme and I've been suffering with it suffering with it since day dot
And so to sort of like help me get
over that, I have like this little mental bucket list of like, oh, do you know what?
Like if I ever, if I ever got the bat call, the bat signal to
go and do this, you know, it kind of in my head tells me that maybe I'm good enough.
And that bucket list for conventions wise was
was with his three.
So the first one was Blackpool Magic Convention.
And sure enough, like two years ago, what was it three?
Two years ago, I think I got the call.
Would I do Blackpool?
And I said yes before I could talk myself out of it.
And then I did.
I opened Blackpool on the arena stage, packed out house, closed doors,
And yeah, it was it was a total experience.
Had a lot of fun.
Wasn't particularly in love with it.
And before that, by the way, I'd done aha
kind of on the fly lecture, I say lecture in the loosest terms,
I talked to like 15 people in the Philippines.
I went to the Philippines to film with Ron Salamaguero for his face-off project.
when I turned up there, they had a magic club and the magic club were like, oh, we's so excited to see you lecture tonight.
And I was like, I don't lecture.
Like I've never done a lecture.
So I went to the local stationery store
the day of, bought some, I
don't know, like sticky tape, some pens and pencils,
and when I did like a little impromptu lectured in the lucest terms.
then before Blackpool, I did I asked Harry
Harrington, the president of Card of Magic Society
I was like, yo, next time you have a Jam night, can I hijack that Jamamite?
I don't want to advertise.
I don't want people to know about it.
I'm just going to turn up and do my lecture if that's okay with you.
And he did, he let me do that.
I think there was like seven people there, did my first proper
lecture, which was the Blackpool dry Run lecture.
And that's actually on my patron.
I filmed that, put it on Patreon
And so if you if you remember my patron, you can go and see that lecture in full.
So I did that and then a few weeks later I did Blackpool, right?
So that's and then so that's my like experience of lecturing.
That's my full knowledge base of lecturing.
And then, so so that's one off the bucket list done.
And then the other two, well, Magic Live is one of them,
just because of like the adventure of it, not so much the prestige of it.
Although I think it is prestigious to do Magic Live, more of like the excitement around it.
I've been to Magic Live a few times with one of the conventions I kind of like go into just for the vibe
But then there's the other one.
And this is the big one.
This to me is the one.
I wasn't really scared of Blackpool.
I wasn't really nervous.
I was like I was a little bit nervous, but Blackpool's a bit of Mardi Gras of magic, right?
And I'll explain what I've been in a moment.
So
the big one to me, and it's the first one I ever did.
I went so the big one is the session convention.
I've been going to the session convention, well, since 2006 with my first one.
So 2026 will be the 20th year of me going to the session.
I think I've missed two or three in total.
And I always said, like, if I ever
got the bat signal for the session convention, I would do it.
I would say yes, and then. panic for the following however
many months I had up until it happened.
And yeah, sure as shit, the bat signal
came in from Andy Glad when he asked me, he says, it's about time you lectured at the section convention.
I was like, oh my god, internal panic kicked in.
I said, yes
and I've literally had genuinely had my ms about it ever since saying yes.
So this is where like, well,
let me tell you why why I'm so scared of this one.
It's because, and this is no diss on anyone, right?
No diss on any conventions.
But every convention, like people always say what, like in my
discord, for example, people always ask, which convention, I'm going to come to one convention this year.
Which one should I go to?
So it's not like there's no blanket answer because it's like, well, what are you into?
Like if you want to go for a party and a bit of a bit
of the spectacle of just seeing such a diverse
en masse scale of magic
and you want to like a bit of like a holiday camp vibe, then go to Blackpool.
Like I said, it's like the Mardi Gras.
If you want to go for like a surprise and an adventure, you go to Magic Life because you never know who's lecture in.
It's kind of like, you know, Las Vegas and everything.
And if you ever want to go to learn, if you want to learn from the
best magicians in the world, you go to go to the session.
I've said that my whole magic career.
Like those are, if people are asking which three conventions to go to,
like all which one should they go to?
And those are the three options, that's my, that's how I, that's my layout.
The problem being is that 2006, 26,
they're going to have the best magicians in the world and Lloyd Barnes.
And my imparse syndrome
is ramping up into complete overdrive.
I look at the people that left lecture at the Sure
convention and I should not be sharing a stage with those people.
And I don't want people in the comments down below, don't waste your time saying, oh,
Lloyd, you just say, you know, you're going to do great.
You know, you should be whatever.
Don't say it.
I can't, like, I know I shouldn't be there.
Somehow I've managed to find myself being invited in.
Probably just through local loyalty tokens, like loyalty staff that
should go in so much like just fucking let him on the stage.
Do it.
So all that being said, this is what I need your help.
If you're going to see, if you if you're.
I'm assuming, right, I don't want to be egotistical or arrogant,
but I'm assuming if you're watching my channel, then like you follow me at least, you subscribe to..
And if you subscribe to me, it means you might be interested in see me lecture.
If you are interested in see me lecture, the question is
that I want you to answer down below in the comments is, what would you want to see from me?
Because I know my entire body of work better than anyone else, because it's mine.
But I don't know.
I don't I don't know, like, I do I
I forget how diverse my magic catalog is.
Like, the majority of you watching on YouTube will think of
me as the guy who makes magic gimmicks.
If you follow me from
the magic industry, you'll think of me with all the products that are out there.
Some people only know of my apps.
Like people forget that I created with Will Jones, the
first calculator app, that before us, there was no calculator that did this cipher.
It was before IT, it was before anything else.
People, so
I've been doing apps for a long, long time.
I got Cypher, Tempus, Picasso Pro,
Cognito, Maxim, and probably some others that I'm forgetting about.
So some people only really know me for the apps that I do
And and yeah, and then and then
And then, yeah, so, so it's like I have this diverse
catalogue, but this is the reason why I'm thinking this.
That sound like a really humble br brag section and I feel terrible.
I don't I don't mean it like that.
But, my
mother-in-law, my sister-in-law went to go and see Tom Jones in concertert.
And I said, how was the concert?
And they said, it sucked.
I was like, what?
You went to see Tom Tom Jones in Wales, where we live
in Cardiff Castle, which is like his home stomping ground sort
of biggest place, you know, most important place he could play.
So how could it suck?
Like, you know, off night or Bad Voice?
And they said, no, he he just played his new album
and nobody knew any of the songs.
And I was like, oh, okay, I get it.
And that's happened to me.
I've been to concerts to see my favorite bands and they've literally just spent the
entire time playing their old their new stuff, which nobody knew.
Which, I get it, it's different from magic, right?
But I don't understand.
I don't.
This is the question I think then maybe, mainly, is I don't really understand what my brand is.
So I don't know what people want to see me deliver.
Maybe I do a bit of everything, right?
Maybe I do some gimmick magic, some visual impromptu
magic, maybe I do some
app magic.
I'm not sure.
One thing for certain, though, is that, like I did with Blackpool, it's not going to be a dealer dem.
I think the worst lectures, I'm really lucky in a sense, that I've seen
probably for my age at least, almost as many more lectures than anyone
where I am because I' I've been to so many damn conventions.
So I've seen the good and the bad.
And I think the worst lectures are the ones that are just dealer dams.
And if you don't know what a dealer dam is, it's basically where they bring a bunch of products with them
and their lecturers just showing you how those products work.
And at the end they say you can buy the gimmicks here.
There are a lot of lecturess that do that.
I think that's the worst.
I'll well, at Blackpool,
I did sell a Blackpool pack, but this is because
saw my entire lecture, every single thing in my lecture,
you could learn it there and then and make it or perform it there and then.
That was the whole point of the lecture is that it was very like hands-on.
I was speaking to Pete Turney, he was like, Lloyd, what you don't understand is
that like you, you will
have people in that room that have come to Blackpool just
to see your lecture, just to see you.
And those people will want to take home something of yours.
And I get it.
Like not, I don't mean that.
I went to see Michael Lamar.
I bought Michael Lamar's lecture notes because I wanted Michael Lamar to sign them.
So not like like I
didn't, not in a bad way, but his lecture was the lecture note.
So I'd learned the stuff there, but it was nice to have that memorabilia.
And I'm I'm in no no way, shape or form at Michael Lamar to anyone.
But there might be one or two people in the audience that want like some form of memorabilia.
So there'll be something
there that you could pick up, but
the main one of the core the core
focuses of my lecture is that it's not going to be a dealer damn.
So everything will be will be in some way,
shape, or form, actionable, like practical. every trick that you watch in my lecture
you'll be able to either perform it immediately
or go home and do it immediately.
And I think I'm going to probably
probably give away some new and exclusive
app as well for free.
If I can...
I have two or three that I've been working on in the background
that I think I'm going to give away at least one of them, which would be pretty cool.
So, yeah, I don't know.
Like, I want to know the comments down below.
Like, do you want to, what do you want to see from me?
Do you, is it just like the app stuff?
Is it just, is it like some of the stuff?
Because like I know Patreon is like my best stuff.
Like it's like my
top tier magic and I don't share it anywhere else.
So, so people don't know what I think my good material is.
Like they haven't seen it.
So maybe it's some stuff from there.
Do I create an entirely new lecture?
which is a bit of a challenge, but a fun challenge.
Do I teach some things that I've I've shown before?
Maybe with some new twists on it.
I have a cool, I won't say what it is, but I do have one idea
already that I've been sort of slowly chipping away at
in the background, which sort of
tends one of the things I'm most well known for,
one of the tricks I'm most visual tricks that I'm most well known for, and
leaves everyone with a water.
At the end, it's like a, everyone thinks they know how it's done and then I'll leave everyone with like a whoa
that's not possible thing.
So I'm pretty sure that's going in there.
I know like what are two other tricks that are going in there, I think.
But really I just don't know what to do.
Like if like I know, for example, if I was going to go and watch
Luba lecture, then I'd want
to see anything to do with chemicals and cool science-based illusions.
If I was going to go and see Paul Harris lecture, I would want to see
I would want to see his interest in creative
tricks that use cards that have been torn up or cut up or
reshaped in some way.
If I was going to see
Mark Kirstin lecture, I'd want to see new ideas
and apps, all app-based stuff.
That's not to say that the other ideas
like the other creations are not good.
It's just that I like you know like, yeah, like go to see Tom Jones
or your favorite band or your favorite artist,
you don't want to to see, you don't really want to want to go and hear their classics.
However, that's not the same for comedy, is it?
Like you go and see a comedian, you don't want to hear them tell the same jokes.
So I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm just very confused.
I've got until January.
It's now September
In the interim, though, I've said yes to, I think three lectures.
So three lecture requests have come in since then.
And I thought, do you know what it'd be good to
practice by doing those?
So saying yes to those.
So I've got one in Ireland in a
month on like October the 4th or 5th or 6th.
I'm doing one in Cardiff.
I think I've got four lectures that I came in since, I' I've said yes, one in Cardiff,
one in Bristol, I think, with Harry.
He'd like come along we'll do Bristol.
So like that.
And then another one which I don't think it's been announced yet, but it's in like,
this is a really prestigious place.
One of the most prestigious places in the UK.
And I was voted for to be the
one of the two star lecturers on this
day event thing.
So I said, yes, that because all this is going to be good practice because like I felt like I could
I could
like sort of not, I don't know, not, I
don't know what the word is, but like Blackpool, like there was an eclectic mix of
audience members from some people are just in Blackpool to go and get drunk.
So they don't care.
Some people are are there. like there was a whole range of like,
audience members.
You know, there were some really good ones there.
I remember I seen one guy, um, Gabriel
Werner, uh, who was a genius.
Is that how you say his surname?
The green.
Let me search it.
The Green Neck System, Gabriel
Werner is it?
Just
Verlin.
Sorry.
I apologize.
I am an idiot.
I truly am am an idiot and that is embarrassing.
Yeah, but Gabriel Veran.
Gabriel Veran was at my lecture.
I consider him to be like an actual living genius.
I think most matures do.
He was at lecture.
He actually came up to me last Blackpool
and said that he's been using something that I taught him a lecture, which blew my mind.
And he and I'll actually explain why or what he
said in a roundabout way.
because it's very relevant to the session.
I actually do I'll probably teach that at the
session because it's very apt for the session.
But yeah, so how do people know, it was just a wide range of people.
It was like
literal geniuses.
And then there were some people in the lure that I don't even think we're into magic.
Like, I don't think they were, I think they were just there for the party.
Like they'd come along with people as their plus one.
But you don't really get that at the session convention.
You don't.
Like, it's very much a, like blackpool people take their family
family members, they take their kids, they take their friends.
And some people are like, just, they just see it
as a big, like cool thing so they come, but you don't get that session.
So what I mean is like at Blackpool, I could kind of get on that stage and
I could, the level of the magic that I taught didn't have to be as high.
I think that's probably the best way to phrase it.
Whereas the session, it has to be, I think, anyway.
Again, like I've seen.
I've seen incredible lectures there that I like the first time.
I was talking about this with Colin Hay and Damian Jennings.
Damian Jennings interviewed me for the Insider podcast the other day.
And he was at the same session when we first ever saw Danny DeAy's live.
Like nobody knew who he was.
Josh and Andy had said there's a show coming up in there's a Spanish music called Danny D's.
Nobody's heard of him doing two shows.
You get ticket to the first show, you get a ticket to the second show.
I was at the second show, so was Damien
and obviously he is like the greatest living comedyition of this era.
That was the first time we experienced since I've seen magicians like Danny Deort is there.
And then I've seen some like real, like
I don't know, some lecture.
There's lectures that I'll never remember seeing in there there.
Maybe it's the best way to say it.
I just don't want to be, I just don't want to fall into that category.
You know what?
Mainly, I just want to get through it without completely making a dick of myself.
So maybe that's just the goal.
Like, just... aim
aim for the stars that if you fall around the cloud sort of approach.
Anyway, I'm going to try and bring my A game.
I'm going to get some practice in.
Hopefully I don't fail.
I'd love to know, though, what you guys
would want to see from me in a lecture.
Like, like, I in
my head, especially as well like creating and consulting,
I have such a wide range of magic, but I don't really know
what my brand is.
So if you guys would comment down below.
A, come and and see the lecture, please come along.
If you're you're in two minds of, or three minds
or if you're like, I'm going to go to one convention this year, I only know
the WhatsApp groups that I in, the boys have started chain, which conventions to pick.
If you don't know which convention to pick, please consider picking the convention to come and hang out with me.
And the session, because that's the dope thing about the session.
That's why it was always like the special one is because
it's the one where you get to hang out with the guys that are on stage, the lecturers.
I remember I went to my first
slash convention and I didn't know who
he was at the time because I was 16 years old
but there was this magician doing the best.
It was a Las Vegas magician in the lobby talking to me and my friend Owen.
We'd driven up there.
We was 16 I was
16 years old, like literally a nobody and he'd sat in the lobby for like two hours just showing us
the most amazing card magic and then another guy as well.
But it turns out the first guy was Alan fucking Ackerman.
and he just sat with just two little scrawny, I was chubby,
useless kids and just blew our minds, like forever like evololved with my brain.
The other guy that had just sat there just showed us dope stuff
and didn't have to do any of that because he could have been off hanging out
with some of the big names that were there was Tyler Wilson.
Like Tyler Wilson, a god tier magician
just sat there showing our scrawny asses like his he
has this card walk from his book called Dominate Trick
and uh it's a card warp but you
tears the middle out of a folded round card and when you push it through back and forth, it's invisible.
The card becomes invisible and it ends by the
two cards become like impossibly linked together
which just completely blew my mind.
Like I didn't like yeah, it was just what the what the hell?
I that was just like in the lobby and that's the beauty of the session.
So if you just want to come and hang for a couple of days in
London, it's super easy to get to as well.
It's literally Heathrow Airport, which is the most
accessible airport I think, in the UK.
So wherever you are, just you literally just drive to Heathrow Airport.
There's a big hotel there called the Radisson.
I think it's the Radisson Blue.
and come, it's amazing.
Yeah, so, I don't know.
What do you want to see?
What do you want to see from me?
What do you want to see me do?
Do you just want to hear me talk nonsense?
Is that a thing?
I don't know.
Yeah, so
that's the big news.
I've rambled a lot there.
That's that 25 minutes of me talking shit about how nervous I am for a lecture.
I get this is the thing.
You guys probably think
like, I feel like I'm fairly proficient at magic.
I'm not a performer, but I perform magic.
I just don't enjoy digging.
I don't enjoy stage performances and stuff.
It's just not my style.
But like, I'm just a normal guy.
Like I I've I am
if you, you know, I'm very nervous to
do this and I think it's important sometimes to see that the people that like
some people may watch me on YouTube and think, oh, this guy, you
know, maybe I'll never be able to do what he can do or in the way he can do it, but just know that I'm literally
normal, living, breathing, pooping dude that that you know, I'm terrified.
I think it's good to have nerves.
I think it's really good to have nerves.
I was told years ago
you should never go to the gym unless you were nervous to work out.
And then like I made like the boxing gym.
And I was I've always like channeled that because it was
like if you're nervous, you, you,
at least for me, when I'm nervous and I have that like skittish energy,
it makes me zone in and think really hard about my each and every next step and next
thought that I have.
Whereas if I'm relaxed and I get cocky about anything, if I've
ever been too overconfident is when I make mistakes and when I fail.
So, yeah, I don't know.
I'd hate to be, I hope I don't, I don't turn up on the day.
I'm like, I've got this in the bag.
I've done four practice lectures.
I know what I'm doing.
And then I just literally screw up every double lift and flash every every trick that I do
So, yeah, and I I've
certainly seen that happen before.
I hope I'm not that guy.
Anyway, 25 25 minutes of rambling, I bet I've lost the entire crowd.
So if you're still listening, congratulations.
Well done.
You have made it this far.
Give yourselves a pat on the back.
Let's talk about some new tricks that have been out there.
Bef before I do, I went to
a magic show with Kaylee that
was near my local town in Swansea.
It's like 20 minutes away down the road because I seen one of my good,
good friends, Javi Benita, who I think is one of the
living grandmasters of magic, but I think he's
the least well-k known grandmasters of magicic.
I studied under Ecanio, his friend of Danny Dy's from Seville.
I've been to Seville, stayed with him.
He's fooled Penantella.
Well, we message back and
forth of the years and it's like, oh yeah, you know, we'll hang out and things.
And then I've seen
he was performing a show with Taylor Morgan Taylor Morgan had
organized with Aaron Crowe and Taylor's partner who
I'm going to kick myself for not remembering the name.
But it was called Phenomenal.
Let me find the name on my Instagram
The show
was called Phenomenal and we
had Rebecca Foyle, Aaron Crowe, Taylor Morgan, Jabib Benitez.
And it's like this new
show of variety, not variety, like a variety of magician acts.
And it was just like 25 minutes of the road.
For reference, I don't live in London.
I don't live in a big city like Edinburgh or Manchester.
I live in a tiny
coastal town.
I live like literally in the sticks away from E. I was talking about this in David Jennings.
I was like, when I was younger, I used to be so resentful towards magicians who I felt would just
get in the spotlight because they were they were they were they had friends.
They were in London.
You know, I don't know.
But but we don't get things like that you know, like one of the biggest
magic events that happened in Wales was Wayne Dobson performing
at my local theater when I was
five years old or six years old, like 30 years ago.
Like that was a huge event.
So for J Bonitez, an actual living,
breathing Grandm in my mind of magic.
And if you see him before, he'd be like, yeah, he's a fucking grandmaster being like 20 minutes on the road, I was like, can't even go it.
We're going to go see him.
So
yeah, went to see the show.
It was phenomenal Blue mutite phenomenal by name phenomen by nature.
Some real, like Aaron Crow does like death defying smash and stamp style magic
and Taylor did some incredibleible stage magic.
He had this amazing act with balloons that he hasn't under his control
then it's the balloon flips up and down.
Then Rebecca Foyle, who's his partner, she did some amazing like dancing cane work and an amazing
needle swallow and illusion.
And my son, Thomas went to watch it the second day because I went the first day.
He went to watch it the second day because they missed the start of their PAW Patrol show and they were in Swans again.
I was like, oh, I'll get you tickets.
Go and see the show again.
He loved the act.
He loved the, and he's five.
He's four years old.
So to me, I thought that was going to be a bit like, you if you have a four year old if you had kids
you'll know that like four-year-olds are kind of like that might be a bit too much for them to comprehend.
But he loved that sword swallowing.
Now, the needle swallow, needle and thread swallow act.
and then Javi just crushed it.
He did his he did his total restored
thread routine, which I filmed with him in Seville.
I discovered him doing that in South Korea when I was over there at Fisham.
and yeah, it was just good to catch up.
It was only brief because we had to get out of there because he was signing
autographs at the end, he was like literally swampmed the people at the end on the night that I
went and it was going to be like an hour and a half queue when I got kids so had
a brief catch up but that was like one of the highlights of my summer
magic wise and it was just good to see H and we're going to hang out again.
He's going to come back up to Wales and just, oh, I think he's
going to be touring with the show with Taylor and Rebecca and Aaron.
So yeah, it was just like a real, really exciting experience.
But anyway, I' I'm I am well aware that
I'm rambling and I'm well aware that that Thurston poster, the background is
itching to get itself focused on.
By the way, if you haven't done it already, hit that subscribe button if you're watching on
YouTube, hit the notification bell, if you're on Spotify or
Apple Podcasts, hit the follow button and the subscribe thing of a jiggle.
But we're about to get into now.
Some new releases. go check out some the big green Monster website.
Got to go look at some magic shop websites and just see sort of what's floating about
in the ether that I haven't seen or may have like glanced
at and give you my live real-time reactions to that stuff.
So let's go, oh, pardon me, that was my
morning coffee trying to get back out the front end.
Let's go check this stuff out.
All right.
So Let me see what we are here.
Let's refresh this page.
We're on the mag Cafe.
If you are watching on YouTube, then you'll be able to see the screen.
If not, and you're listening on Spotify, I'm going to narrate what I can see
However, don't think that I'm, if you're watching on
YouTube and wondering why I'm writingating everything, it's for the people listening at home.
All right, so we have a couple of things.
We have Pathfinder.
Now, this is the problem.
I'm not going to be able to play the audio and I I
think this Pathfinder by The Daily Magician is a medentalism trick.
So it's going to be kind of hard for me to
play and review this and it's a seven minute trailer,
so we'll check this out maybe at another time purely because of the platform that I'm viewing this on.
So one thing that I did see was this no risk ring flight.
And what I want to play in particular is a clip that I know is on page seven.
Ha ha.
And that is this video
of, who is it?
Darren.
So this is Darren performing the ring flight
to a live audience in the UK.
And I want to just talk about this, is that when it
comes to like magic and products and reviews, there is
so much people misattribute to magic reviews.
And my own personal theory and thoughts on
magic reviews is
stood me well.
And what I think is that like mainly, the
only thing that really matters on a magic trick on a magic product is if
you buy it, can you perform it?
And does it get good reactions, obviously?
If the answer to those, that question or those two questions is yes
then 90% of
the other stuff of the product is essentially inconsequential unless it's so bad that, it falls apart.
But people are so lazy these days.
Like, there's a difference, right?
There's There's two types of magicians and I've said this for the last 20 years on a parapet to anyone that listen.
There are two typs of people.
There are people who do magic tricks and there are magicians.
And the people who do magic tricks want to buy something out of the box
and they're not willing to work for it in any way.
And then there are magicians who are masses of every
asset, every facet
of their craft, which means that I believe that if you are a magician
in inherently, that you should be, anything
you buy, you should really be taken apart and rebuilding it to make it your own.
I don't mean that literally in a physical sense
Sometimes, yes, but in a sense of if
a product comes with a certain script, you shouldn't
even be considering that really, it should just be whatever your character is.
You should create your own script.
You should always sort of be adapting the effect of
look, make it look your own, make it your own
You should totally be willing and open to
modifying the method to make it fit better.
If you look in this thread I've seen the other day, for this no risk ring
flight, somebody says, like the first thing they've done is find a better way of tying the knots for the shoelaces.
And
this is the thing, right?
Magic reviews don't really count unless someone
shows a live performance of the effect.
And if they haven't performed it and they can't prove to
you, they performed it, then the 90% of
what's important is not being addressed or acknowledged.
And it it's kind of like
It's kind of like review it a car before ever driving it.
It's like, you know, it's It's irrelevant.
It's another void unless there's footage of them performing it, right?
That's why every time I do a trick on Katie on Fooler, she's not a magicianian.
She kind of knows a bit about magic, but nowhere
to the, you know, she's not a magician.
She's a lay person and every trick she sees, it's the first time she sees it and there's no fake reactions.
What you see, and that's why they think the Fooler series on
my channel is so successful and so popular is because
it's it's it's the actual stuff you need to see for a magic review.
What does this trick, how does this trick affect the layp?
Can it be performed?
What's the what does the uncut performers look like?
That's pretty much all you need to know.
And yeah, so I went into this no risk ring flight thread.
I just literally skipped to a page and I found a performance video.
I was like, okay, cool.
I've seen the trailer.
You know, it's a trailer, magic trailer.
You can make anything look good in the trailer.
You can make anything look bad in the trailer
And and I saw this live performance and this is all I needed to see.
So I'm going to play it.
This is from Darren.
DASA Magic 1 on YouTube.
And I'll preface it.
It's fucking great.
So I'm going to play this in full.
Fuck you guys.
Apologies to the bad language.
She's borrowed a ring.
She's borrowed a very unique looking ring.
He places it in his fist.
Inside his pocket.
He's reaching for.
He's looking for his lighter.
Okay.
I love that.
He makes the rig vanish.
He doesn't make a big deal of about not even bringing out a lighter.
He's like, yeah, it's gone, whatever.
And he's asking it, like, do you know where the ring is gone?
Where do you think is gone?
They have no idea.
She's kind of worried.
He creates the perfect misdirection.
He's, it's back on your finger, it breaks the tension.
Everyone looks away and laughs.
Now he's
building up some tension because she's like, okay, ha, that was funny, but where the hell is my room?
I have
Lucky, he's built it up, he knows what to do.
This guy can perform.
This guy can really perform.
Now he brings it all down.
Here's the moment of truth.
And he shows that ring
is now tied to his shoelace, and she starts freaking the hell out.
She's literally
freaking the out now.
And, yeah, so you can go find that.
It's on page seven of the Magic Cafe.
That's all I need to see.
That is all I need to see.
I don't care about anything else about the product.
That tells me that guy is an independent purchaser.
He's purchased it.
He's performing it.
He's got dope reactions.
I don't care about anything else.
If there's issues where, I don't know, some part of the product may be
I'm just I'm not I'm not even saying this is the thing I'm
just honor in general, but like I don't care about anything else.
If I can buy that park and do that trick, which he just did, that's all that matters.
And look at that.
It's, I think that to me is better than a trailer.
That is better than a trailer.
The only thing that I would change, well, the only thing that you can't really get
by not having that in a trailer is
it's the fact that this guy is uffiliated with the product.
So, you know, the perfect trailer would be like, look, this dude bought this trick.
He doesn't even like me.
Like here he is performing and crushing with it.
Like that's the best endorsement you could ever get.
And so yeah,
great performance.
The guy really understood when to build tension,
when to break tension, when to build it up, when to misdirect.
And also you could see like the guy didn't sweat the small stuff here.
Like he reached in his pocket for a lighter, either by
design or by accident, he was like, I don't have a lighter, but I don't care.
I've seen so many magicians crumble when they get to a
point in their routine and they may have made misplaced a prop or they don't know what to do.
They just kind of stop dead and that's kind of like the end of the trick
for them, you know, or they just go to mush.
Not for this guy.
This guy just completely
completely crushed it.
And so I thought my mic was off then.
I was like, having a little mini panic attack.
Yeah, so that's called no risk.
No risk, no risk, the safest ring
flight ever by, who is this by?
It's on Magie Fact, which
is a French magic site. created by Chris Torrent.
And I think I looked at the price.
Was it yesterday?
By the way, I had to record this podcast or at least the start of it twice because yesterday I had to skip out.
But it's 52
which is pathetically cheap.
If you think about that effect, it's and let
me just break down why that effect is so good.
This is going to sound utterly ridiculous to some of you listening,
but the effect is magic, right?
It's actually a magic trick
because we forget, right?
We get so wrapped up in, especially someone like myself,
in certain card tricks, for example, right?
Any card, any number, is a prime example.
It's not a magic trick.
It's not a magic trick because what's happening is not impossible.
It's improbable, but it's absolutely possible.
If I give you a deck of cards and said, name any card
and name any number, there's there's a what in
52 chance, if I give you that to 50 times, that card could end up there, right?
And I drop a card on the floor
If a card out of this world is is another example, right?
If I said, take the deck, shuffle it, and just deal to random piles,
it's very, very, very, very, very improbable, but
somebody out there will deal that deck into two,
even splits, reds, and plaques.
It may not happen for a year or two, but it'll happen.
It's not impossible.
It's highly improbable.
But I see so many magicians performing so much magic.
Like I pick a card, find a card trick, right?
I'm going to find your card.
It's it's going to be the one that, you know, a 10 card find or
all of gambling routines, all gambling routines and encompassing.
They're not magic, right?
And they get confused with magic quite often.
This is a magic trick.
First of all, the ring vanishes.
And it incorporates one of the core elements of magic, which I think people often forget also.
It has the most important thing,
one of the most, I think possibly the most important element to a magic trick, which is the surprise element.
Okay?
For example,
with an ambitious card routine, right?
I tell them, your card is going to come to the top.
So it goes into the middle.
And where does it come?
It comes to the top, which is exactly what I told them was going to do.
There's a big debate over ambitious card whether people should,
you know, once you start to do the card-to-mouth element to it or it becomes
a solid deck or whatever, then it's not an ambitious card
the tricky part is is that like, but you also lose
the surprise element to it.
Yeah.
But like, so much magic
happens and there's no surprise.
I tell you I'm going to put this phone in the bottle or this coin in the bottle, the coin goes into the bottle.
It's no surprise.
I think some of one of the most important factors to magic tricks is that surprise element.
I do
I do, you all know I do this because
I just talk about it constantly, but I always, 99% of the time I open with Crazy man's handcuffs.
And I never do it in my hands.
I only do it in the participant' hands, right?
But I do three phases.
First phase it melts through.
No one really knows what's going to happen.
So it's kind of a surprise.
Second thing. phase it melts through again, but they're all looking for it.
And this is my conditioning section because the third phase, it's
completely in two participants's hands, so I don't even touch the rubber bands.
They have them linked together.
I get the second participant who would essentially
be where I was for the first two phases.
They start to rub the bands down
and one of the bands completely vanishes or melts into the other one, whichever way they want to perceive it.
And that's the surprise element and it's something which gets people completely
losing their minds, completely completely losing.
It's why Tukan Monty is such a good piece of magic because they think it's going away, it goes another.
And yeah, I've got off on a tangent, but I
think, have a look at all the tricks that you do and ask yourselves,
which one of them, which ones out of my set, literally stop the video and now, right?
Pause the video.
Write down, say, one of my one of my
seven deadly tricks, right?
The seven tricks that I do on the most regular basis.
And then I ask yourselves, which one of the, which of the,
how many of those are actually magic tricks as opposed to improbabilities?
and then ask yourselves out of those magic tricks, which
ones have the surprise, the excitement element to it.
And I guarantee you, or I can almost guarantee
you that if you were to
then go back to that list and say,
right, I'm going to cross out the ones that have no surprises.
I'm going to cross out the ones that are just improbable and I'm
going to fill those spaces in with new magic tricks or tricks, not new.
They don't have to be new, but other tricks that I do that have
a surprise element and are actually magic
you will see the level of your performances
increase exponentially through the roof as a magician.
If you want to be a gatling expert demonstrator, then maybe do it the opposite way around, right?
Cross out anything that can have a magic explanation and
do it as just an improbable explanation or just a slight hand hand explanation.
But yeah, guarantee if you want to be a better magician, one simple
thing you can do right now is literally just
look at your set list, cross
off what's improbable, because when it's improbable, it gives them a method.
If they have a method for one thing, they'll slowly start to fall into that
pattern of, oh, well, if that's how that worked, there must be a way to do that.
And I don't ever want that feeling.
Like, I know Patella talk about, you know, you should never let them feel that
false belief of suspended disbelief.
But I'm happy to do it.
I' not happy to just tell them it's real magic.
I'm happy to let them have no explanation at all.
Right?
Just a thing with me.
You know, I'm happy to give them no answer.
I not to say that it's real magic or that actually it was just
like a hand, sorry to let you down.
I'm just happy to let the
let them live in limbo.
But yeah, I guarantee if you're looking to be a better magician, the first thing you do is just pick better tricks.
Pick tricks that are magic.
Pick tricks that are going to give your audiences surprises.
I don't mean like cheesy surprises, but something,
yeah, I mean, what the core elements of magic is that surprise element, I believe anyway.
So yeah, that that has it, right?
The ring vanishes.
Everyone's wondering where it goes.
He says it's on your finger.
They're like, what the hell?
No, it's tied to my shoelace and it's kind of like a roundhouse kick.'re
like, what the, that can't be possible because you haven't even been near your shoes.
That would insinuate that you don't have to be tied on there.
People know instinctively you have to tie
your shoelaces so it incorporates this moment of,
well, it's not possible because you would have, I know
to do that, you would have to stop to do shoaces up.
And I also think you would have a bit of fun with this too, right?
You could
You could imagine imagine just before you got performed, right?
So not a gigging set, but say you're in someone's house
and you know that you're going to end up performing instead if in front of their kitchen table, right?
You come in, everyone is busy out in the garden, right?
Maybe you're at a barbecue party and later on when it gets cold, you're all going to come in.
You spend two minutes
with your phone in front of you, maybe, I don't know, right?
you place it on the floor and you bend down and you and you tie
you cover your cover what could be a ring in your hand or you use a dupe, right?
If it's just silver slash gold. and you tie it onto your shoelace, right?
And now this is the performance, right?
This is what I mean about like if you' if you're a magician, you should be able to make tricks your own.
Like every trick you buy on the shelf, think about doing it your own way.
But this this could be potentially a way that you do it, right?
To just completely enhance this moment entirely for free.
You borrow someone's fingering, okay, and you make it vanish.
But you say, actually, I'm going to let you in on the secret here.
I'm telling you from a performance point of view that this rig is going to vanish.
But it's actually a scientific way that this has been done.
Have you seen those floating levatron machines?
You can buy them off Amazon.
You can make like a
like a light bulb float.
And the way it works is electromagnets pushing in
opposing directions and by rotating, it keeps the
thing balanced and it'll appear like it's floating, but really, it's actually being suspended.
It's being held in place in a sense.
It's not magic, but god damn it, it looks like magic, right?
But when you know the explanation, it suddenly becomes less incredible.
I'm not going to make this ring vanish.
I'm just simply going to stop time.
I'm going to stop time when you think nothing's happened.
In that moment, I'm going to take the ring and put it somewhere else.
So that when I open my fist back up, you're going to think that it's just disappeared and teleported.
Really
I've just slowed everything down.
Or, for you, sped everything up really quick.
So the next 10 seconds are going to happen.
Now, did you see the moment
did it look like it disappeared?
Yes, it did.
Do you know where it went?
Blah, blah, blah.
No.
Well, actually, I thought I would do something so
ridiculous, you would I would do something
and put it somewhere that the only way, and somewhere that
you would know that I had to have stopped time to do it.
I took the ring out of my hand, I went down onto the
floor, gone on one knee, undid my shoelaces, wrapped the ring around the
shoelace, tie my shoelaces back up in a nice bow, stood back up, and then continued on.
Don't believe me, look at my shoelaces.
Everyone looks down.
What the fuck is tied to your shoelaces?
That is, that is insane.
That's real magic.
And then as a convincing, you can be like, I knew you wouldn't believe me.
So I also took a moment to film it as well.
And now you're standing by that kitchen table, you show just a little clip of
you look down on your knee, tying the shoelace onto
your shoe and that's like your actual little convincer moment.
And now suddenly it's not a
vanishing magic trick.
It's a pseudo explanation science
trick where they can either choose to believe that was the method or they can choose
to believe that it was done by real magic or some other method, you know.
But again, improvising, doing a little bit of extra work, making it your own.
That's the stuff that takes any trick from a
trick off the shelf, a magic trick that either you're
a person that does magic tricks or you're a magician.
The magicians out there are going to find the way to make it
awesome, you know?
Is there anything else on here?
I did want to talk about, actually, I was lucky enough.
There was a Nicholas Lawrence trick.
Let me see if I can find it.
Is it this one?
I don't think it was this one called The Final Cut.
Let me see.
A new It's a vanishing Deck trick by Nicola.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is this one.
It is this one, right.
So I'm going to play this trailer for you.
I was lucky enough to see the method to this.
And on the surface of this, right?
So basically, it's a vanish decker card
and then you cover it with multiple different variation handlings, right?
But in in a moment, right, half a deck diminishes.
You could see like it's literally half the deck's gone and then another moment,
it's down to one card and then the deck's vanished.
I watched this trick, all right?
Nohere of a lie.
And I thought, oh, it kind of looks like level one by Christine Grace.
Because I know, you know, that's an amazing piece of magic.
Then I watched it again.
I was like, oh, hang on, if it was level one, then he wouldn't be able to show the face of
the deck at that point. the halfway mark, which is kind of amazing.
And then I saw the method.
And although it has like kind of like
foundational similarities to level one.
I mean, I think it's okay to say this.
Because I this is a desk at all to Christ Grace, but it's
been like, I don't know, seven years since level one come out, I
This is genuinely absolutely brilliant.
The method to this is not what I thought it was at all.
It has like foundational roots in it.
But it's not what I thought it was.
And it's so, so, so clever.
It's so practical.
I actually think it would be a lot easier to perform
than level one.
And not, again, no diss whatsoever to level one.
I love Christian.
I love level one.
This thing is if you're a fan of Nicholas
Lawrence's magic and you're a fan of how
what's the right word, maybe
not just practical, but also efficient, his gimmicks are.
And are very lateral thinking as well.
This is. classic Nicholas Lawrence at his best.
And
I'm going to play the trailer in the background, but basically, yeah, he's just got the deck.
He rotates it around, half the deck vanishes, rotates
it around again, the rest of the deck vanishes, and then you can hand that card out.
The final card's completely clean.
But the method is not what I thought it was.
I want to say that.
And it's so magic's the strangest industry in the world.
It's like selling a car car
but not, but you can't tell someone that it's got that it's electric.
You can't tell someone that it's four-wheel drive.
You can't tell someone that it's got self- steering wheels or whatever.
All that, you know, the comparison is that for a card, that's the method, right?
We can't talk, really talk about the method.
You could just got to kind of take my word for it, but it's very clever, very practical.ical.
And there's some really great handlings on here.
But the main thing for me was that I was surprised.
I was really surprised.
It wasn't what I thought it was.
And yeah, let me just play these elements of the trailer again.
So yeah, Bravo Nick, again, classic Nicholas Lawrence thinking
just beautiful work again, as always by Nicholas Lawrence.
So that's called the finalal Cut by Nicholas Lawrence,
exclusively available at his website, Nicholas Lawrence presents.com.
Yo, 34 quid.
That is dirt cheap.
I I swear to you didn't know the price.
I thought it was going to be like 50 quid.
Yep.
Phenomenal.
Phenomenal price.
So go to nicholasLarls.com, pick up the final cut if
you like that kind of thing, if you want to do that trick.
The nice thing about it is that you could easily w this into a deck and out of a deck
with ease.
Like it's not going to be one of those things that, and it looks pretty durable from what I saw as well.
So yeah, just looks looks great.
Okay.
So I'm trying to think.
Is we're coming up to the hour mark.
We're coming up to the hour mark.
Is there anything else?
I mean, there's so many good things on here.
What's sealed 3 by Axel Heckow?
Is that a new version of Healed and sealed?
Is it?
Ah, no.
Ooh, sealed cubed.
I think that's the name of it.
The three sealed envelopes start
a pack with I'm a sucker for a signed card in a window
of an envelope or any other object..
Let me check this out.
Okay, I'm going in blind.
I have no idea what this is.
But it's 99 Euros.
This one in your pocket, and you will always be
ready for a great finale for a card routine.
For instance, with a sign card.
So you lose a sign card
in the deck, and
a moment later, do you remember?
Hey, we had this sealed envelope
in my pocket, and it's not only
sealed, it has also this strip here
to find inside another envelope.
And this one is also sealed
and can be given to the spectator, he can examine
everything up close, and he will find another
opening strip.
And inside inside that one, we have another envelope,
and it's also sealed, but this one, he
will never, ever open, because he can clearly see
this sign on his card.
What?
Inside the sealed envelope.
So that's sealed three.
Yeah, you don't you don't need a full blown trailer for that.
That is just.
God damn!
That looks so good.
I don't do.
That's like a bit of a parlor piece, right?
You wouldn't necessarily walk around the streets doing that.
But, but God. damn!
If I did parlor, that would absolutely be in my set.
I can't tell you if you've never done like sign card envelope
or sign card to wallet just how insane it
is to a layperson it just doesn't compute in their minds this thing,
what email like tell her said something about it.
there cannot be a more beautiful and impenetrable way to make an object appear in a nest of envelopes.
The spectator gets to take away an impossible object that drives
home the miracle Perfection, and you may quote me.
I would literally, I would have,
if I ever receive an email like that from Teller, I would officially slime myself.
I'm just going to say it out there like the apologies for the language.
Oh, that looks so good.
So good.
So what you get?
99 Euros.
What's that in, what's that in, what's that in real money?
What's that in real money?
99 Euros in..
Is it like 75 quid or is it the other way around?
I'm not a robot, Google.
Why would Google think I'm a robot?
Like, come on. 866,
86 pound. 86 pound for that.
Okay, so what'd you get 35
of everything, like 35 of everything seems like 35 gibbicks.
So I' 105 stickers.
So what's that?
35 performances, 86 divided
by 35, 2 pound 50 a performance.
If you are a parlor magician or a giga magician
and you're not willing to spend a couple
of quid her per performance,
like in general, then get out, get out of it.
Like, don't stop it.
Like, if you're not willing to invest
not tiny amount of money per performance
to give your spectators incredible magic, then
maybe you're in the maybe you're not thinking
maybe you're not thinking about what's important.
That looks absolutely perfect.
Bloody hell.
Wow.
Ah, well.
See, seeing a good piece of magic that I've ever seen before always makes my day.
Like, I feel hyped after seeing that.
So that looks great.
As I was saying, well thought that was an understatement,
Alex even includes a pocket height adjustment device that
goes so far as to describe using an ice cube to cool the wax ceiling tool.
If you are preparing multiple envelopes and choose to use an actual seal on them.
Wow.
This is, yeah.
I mean, Axel's known for the the incredible quality of
his work and how incredible the thinker he is.
It's what I think, right?
I don't need to see any more than that video.
That's what I need to see.
I am. blown the F away by that.
And someone else we have here?
Now, there is some.
I see, obviously air flight is being crushing it,
Mark Bennett's incredible.
I think it's literally the best ring flight on the market
to this point because it's like it's it's the
most universal ring flight, but that can be left for another day.
I think I've done a whole episode like dedicated how good that is.
There is a bit of drama, I think, happening
in the Magic industry, and I don't know too much about it.m Is this on the wrong place?
But I will say that I was at the Sec convention a year or two ago
and I saw Elliot Gerrard
doing this this on-off type trick
with the most, with where he actually
took his fucking pinky off, like legit pinky off.
And it's not exposed a method, right?
Basically, Elliot had
a movie grade quality,
maybe even better than a movie grade quality.
It was the most realistic fake finger I've ever seen seen.
And he was show me like Nick Lawrence's
on off using that finger and it completely, everybody
that saw it was just like jaws on the floor
And and then I saw it on Instagram.
everyone posted like Nick Lawrence and Elliot Gerrard and a bunch of people being like, yo, Elliot
showed Sam crazy Sam this at Blackpool.
He loved it.
and now Crazy Sam's releasing it as his.
I don't know what the drama is.
I don't want to insinuate that Sam is pinch or anything.
I'm repeating what the Instagram posts said, okay?
I don't stir up any bad blood here, but that's what the Instagram post was saying
was that Elliot showed Crazy Sam this
Crazy Sam Love it and now he's releasing it as his own and now it's on Hans and Chen's website.
So yeah.
So I it's a really
great looking trick.
But I am remiss
to really dive into it until the beef has been settled.
I don't know what that is.
Yeah, so...
Yeah.
Maybe I shouldn't include this in here, but I don't know.
This probably all sound and apologies to crazy sound
of the hands and chair if all that's being squashed, if
I've got the wrong end of the stick, I do want to say that in advance.
That's just, I'm just repeating what I saw.
It's just repeating what I saw
Yeah, so look, we're coming up to an hour.

better reviews better amounts of sales than this?
It's just fantastic.

the magic products that are under the sun because there might
be nothing to talk about in the next episode, which is come in again next week.

Thank you for being patient.
Thanks for letting me have a little summer break, everyone.
I've really missed you all.
And the next time you'll hear me, we'll be in a week on this podcast.
or if you're on Patreon, there's something newd dropping very, very soon, which I think you're all going to love.
I just got to get of a one little hurdle with it
which you'll understand when I teach it to you.
And then and then I should probably post a new tutorial
on YouTube as well I haven't that that for a while since bloody renovate in this house.
And aside from that, I think if you want
to see me, come to Island.
If anyone actually wants to come to see me Lectron Island, I think it's in
Dublin.
I think it's Dublin.
I need double check.
I think it's the Dublin Magic Club.
I think.
It's being organized by Darren Close, so whenever his
local magic club is, I'll be there.
on October, between like October 5th and 6th, I want to say.
October 5th and 6th.
I'll let you know more details in the next episode
because I'm completely useless and I'm still crap in my
pants over the session lecture
lecture.
So please comment up below, let me know what
you would like to see from an AlB lecture at the Sric Convention, 2026.
It's good to be back.
I'll stop for Amin.
I'll see you all in the next episode.
Peace.
