Customer photo review of Outnumbered by Danny Weiser and Matthew Wright

G. B.

I have redesigned the box, which I keep the trick in. Renamed the front to "SLIDE PUZZLE" by Tricky "D" Made an holder on the back for a number 34 ticket. This way everything is contained, no need for anything else. This is without doubt my best purchase this year. So easy to perform with remarkable results.

Customer photo review of Fanning Powder 2oz/57grams

Charles W.

I have used Fanning Powder on cards, for over seventy years. It is an essential for every card magician, from novice to expert, amateur or professional. The generous amount supplied will treat several packs of cards.

This was super fun! I used it on a Live Roleplaying event for my fire mage and it was great! Took a couple of goes to get it right, but once I had the hang of it it was just brilliant!

Angela S.

I make holders for memo pads. This glue is perfect for placing the pad on the back as I can move the pad around into the perfect position before it dries. Perfect for all kinds of crafting projects.

Customer video review of Gozinta - Coin 2 Glass

Andrew W.

I would recommend ordering extra rubber as it can easily Deteriorate while practicing this trick .but once you get it the rubber will last .Very good trick for close up Audience But hard to set up In front of them so must always be prepared before the trick .This in no way or form spoils this trick

Gozinta - Coin 2 Glass

Customer's black and white Vectra Virtuoso box on a wooden table next to a coin for scale.

Theo H.

Extremely grateful to the chaps at MoM. Such a rare find. Despite the busy schedule around Xmas, it was delivered right from the warehouse directly to me. Will consider getting Vectra X2 and maybe another spool of this in the near future. A merry Xmas and a happy New year to you!

Customer photo review of Carat DS1 Deck Sleeves (10 Pack)

Ian T.

As a collector of cards for decades but only recently discovered the explosion of the industry the past few weeks, I hadn't realised there were amazing things like these decks protectors in existence! Thought I would try a few out and wasn't disappointed. Incredible that each is individually wrapped. A prompt service and I'm a delighted customer. Thank you

Customer photo review of Murder Mystery - INSTANT DOWNLOAD

Peter H.

I have been looking for a murder mystery theme for a while, and this fitted the bill perfectly. It works very cleanly and I particularly like the way of handling the first choice. I'm thinking of varying the presentation slightly by actually using the Cluedo cards, pictured

Murder Mystery - INSTANT DOWNLOAD

Customer's deck from a Mystery Deck purchase, fanned out on a wooden table to show the wavy, black-and-white back design.

Paul H.

This is a must for £9.99, a no brainer, over the last few yrs and with the tech now there to make some of these decks affordable they have become almost works of art to the extent i'm thinking of framing some? My first order and by no means my last. Love it 🤩.

Mystery deck, anticipation of what you will get is exciting and not been disappointed yet. Very addictive so I'm sure once you have brought one you will buy many more. 👍

Customer photo review of Basic Card Technique by Anthony Norman - Book

Stephen M.

This should be in every card workers library. It *starts* with the pass. The pass is quite difficult to pull off so I wouldn't necessarily call it *easy* but it is a fundamental. Well illustrated and describes technique well. I'd get this before Royal Road.

Customer photo review of Three And A Half Of Clubs - Red Back

Alastair M.

I've had a lot of fun with this on the Holloway Rd recently.Onexday I performed this 3 1/2 times!! The half came whenthe spectator suddenly got up tosay hello to her friend,right in the middle of the routine!So I hadvto wait till she sat down again.Very easy to do with a DL from thectopvof the deck or from a small packet of cards,so it makes an entertaining packet trick as well. At 45p each they're well worth having as an amusing, quickie/opener.

I put my virtuoso fw17s that had developed some deck click in this and left them in for about 2 days. They were like new when I took them out!

Steve P.

I have only recently got into playing cards and Cardistry but when I do get into something I tend to obsess. My first pack was a cheap Waddington's pack, you see where I'm going here,,,,, I bought the standard Bicycle cards from here and instantly felt a difference so much smoother and well cut on the edges etc. I also bought the Mystery pack at the same time. OMG what a great pack of cards I got, the standards are as you can see from the pictures so well put together, the box the artistry etc b...

Awesome cards! Hope the pictures help others to see what they are getting. I was able to open the card box without breaking the Baby Grogu seal. I am a Star Wars Collector and a former Professional Magician.

As someone just getting in to cardistry, the mystery decks are fab. They take the worry of not understanding away and replace it with some excitement, plus the cards I have received are insanely cool!

Stephen B.

I worked with one of these for the last 20 years. This is the first time I’ve had to replace it as my old one is looking a bit worn. It’s a fantastic prop and the reaction from a production is spectacular.

Customer photo review of Double Cross - Red Heart

Josh M.

I got the cross version and after 6 and a half months of solid use at over 200 gigs it finally started to run out, so I picked up the red heart one and I love it! I always make it seem as if I'm unsure what to draw and the amount of times it's suggested by a spectator is unreal, creating a WAY BETTER trick. Love this thing so much.

Customer photo review of Eisenhower Dollar (Single Coin Ungimmicked)

William S.

“Bought this cracking coin to learn some coin manipulation techniques. While initially surprised at the size and weight of the coin, it soon became apparent that it was the perfect piece for what I was after. The large size adds to the showmanship aspect while the weight is just right for the manipulation side. Will definitely be buying more in the near future.

Customer photo review of Chinese Coin (Black - Ike Dollar Size) by Royal Magic

William S.

Bought this coin to go with the Eisenhower Dollar as part of a collection of different coins I could use to learn coin manipulation techniques. This coin is lighter is weight and with a different feel to the edge and a very slight difference in size than the Eisenhower. This makes it a perfect companion in addition to being a fine piece in its own right. Very well made and with a texture that feels nice in the hand. Will definitely be buying more to add to the collection in the near future.

Bought a pack of 7 mystery decks i m in France real price of the decks + shipping costs + Import charges to France = still worth! all decks are great and having the providence deck as duplicate is cool if i was in UK i'd buy a pack each month Thank you

Mystery Deck

Bombastic M.

Exactly what I thought, while I’m not quite sure of the rarity (it’s description is very wonky) I got a deck worth what I paid, while I’m sure there’s some unlucky decks, what I got is what I rate.

So pretty! I'm a croupier and had the full intention of buying a normal deck to practice shuffling with but I saw these and instantly wanted them! They are my most favourite deck of cards and they came super quick and in perfect condition!

Customer photo review of Mystery Box - January Edition

Shaun M.

Where do I start? Stunning, simply stunning. 1,2,3,4, 5....yes five absolutely amazing effects. The first effect alone is worth the price of the box. Honestly I phoned the shop up to see if they had made a mistake. Forget about the Lottery. Have a go at the Mystery Box. Far more fun and who knows you may be as stunned as I was. Very very HAPPY.

Customer video review of Solid by Juan Capilla and Julio Montoro

Richard S.

This is a simple but very visually effective trick. This is an ideal trick for a beginner. The gimmick is well made, and easy to handle. The tutorial video made me laugh out loud, as even the demonstrating pro 'bungled' his first attempt to remove the key from the can.

Customer photo review of Hollingworth Playing Cards (Emerald)

Brett D.

A deck of cards perfect for any magician or cardistry. The tuck case and cards themselves are beautiful and definitely one for the collection. Great price and amazing customer services.

Jaxson R.

It came within 2 days. I ordered normal shipping which was 3-7 days. When it came, packaging was good. It had a black sleeve with a question mark on it. When I opened it I got a deck of cards and pack of haribos. I will buy another deck in. Few weeks as in happy with it

My first Mystery Box arrived today, and I'm already sat at the table learning New Magic. There was only one trick I wouldn't use. Also was a fantastic pack of Good and Evil playing cards. Roll on July 😁

Customer photo review of The Memory Arts by Sarah and David Trustman - Book

Trevor K.

So, you are a hobbiest or a pro, and you want to get into mem deck work but you are too intimidated by the thought of learning a full deck order! This is THE book for you! Within 2 days I had memorised 28 cards of the Mnemonica stack, really! The learning was fun and enjoyable, not a chore at all. It uses a system called 'the memory palace' which has been used for thousands of years, combined with the authors own 'nuances', to make the learning really easy, fun and, of course, memorable! They a...

Customer photo review of Rocco's SUPER BRIGHT Prisma Lites Single (Red)

Kris R.

Great effect. Easy to do and much brighter than previous versions. My only gripe is that I had to replace the batteries within a week, with only limited use. Not the kind of battery you can get at a supermarket either, had to order from Amazon, not expensive though. I figure it must have been sitting on a shelf for a while before I got it. Besides this it is a great trick.

Customer photo review of Cool Beans by Paul Brook

James B.

This is a really well thought through piece of mentalism magic you can take anywhere. It is for close up or small group work where people can see the cards, not a stage. It is designed to do more than a simple one method prediction of a selected card. Cleverly designed. Great value for money. I can recommend it without hesitation.

I love this. It’s got legs. Easy to moderate and easy misdirect the hotspots. I really enjoy this trick; like a lot of magic, with practice? People think it’s a miracle. In a world of BS, Magic looks like freedom.
