StringsAndBubblegum
Wow, folks! I just realized that Nick Brown and Meir Yedid are offering their versions of a magic trick that’s been around for ages. It’s so old that tracking down the original creator might be tough. What surprises me is they’re selling it for as high as $30.
The effect is that you have a “door” cut into a dollar bill and the spectator holds onto this door while the bill mysteriously flips over so that instead of you looking at the front of the bill, you are now looking at the back of the bill. Shame on you Nick & Meir for pretending it’s your own creation.
In the intriguing world of illusion and sleight of hand, this blog serves as an illuminating guide for all magicians who have experienced the frustration of being misled by over-hyped magic tricks. These tricks often turn out to be nothing more than repackaged string and bubblegum, leaving a bitter taste in the performer’s mouth. Here, we strive to equip magicians with the knowledge and understanding to differentiate between authentic magic tricks and those that are simply a waste of their time and money. This way, they can avoid falling into the trap of investing in ill-conceived gimmicks. Remember, magic is not just about pulling rabbits out of hats or sawing an assistant in half. It’s about impressing your audience with skillful trickery that evokes awe and wonder. Therefore, discernment in selecting your magic tricks is key to elevating your act from ordinary to extraordinary. Consequently, our aim is not just to shield you from unscrupulous trick vendors but also to aid in refining your repertoire so you can captivate your audience like never before. In summary: – Know how to spot genuine magic tricks – Avoid falling for over-hyped gimmicks – Understand that quality trickery is at the heart of impressing audiences – Use discernment when selecting magic tricks – Refine your repertoire to captivate audiences better.
If you happen to be among the sad sack magicians who incessantly insist that “it’s all about the secret,” then it’s crucial to realize that this belief positions you as part of the problem, just as much as the so-called “creators.”

Stay tuned for some scathing reviews.
I know that there are going to be a lot of upset magicians when we post this but there’s nothing to defend here. Dean Dill’s Box is one of the most expensive props in the world. There is nothing special about this box other than the craftsmanship. The only thing that separates this box from pretty much any other is a magnet. There are no other gimmicks and to sell this thing for $300, and for magicians to defend Dean for doing so is a crime in and of itself.
This is a prop and nothing more. There is no gimmick, you can search online and find your own tiny plunger(the author has seen one for sale as a wine stopper). If they hadn’t stopped selling the gimmicked version of the plunger along with this trick, then Tiny Plunger wouldn’t be listed here because the gimmicked version is a bit of a fooler even when you know it’s gimmicked. How’s that for ironic?
