It’s Saturday at 9:00, which means it’s time for the Monster Magic Show. Good morning! If you’re in England, enjoy the Cadbury-filled bank holiday weekend. I certainly will. But first, let’s dive into this week’s magic reviews.
Your Round by Mark Bennett & Craig Petty
A bar-themed routine using beer mats with popular drink logos. The spectator chooses a drink, sorts the mats, checks a price list and you reveal both their drink and its price.
It’s easy, fun, inspectable, and packed with presentation opportunities. Mark’s handling is natural for bar settings, while Craig adds several clever variations. The mats themselves are beautifully designed and hide the method well. Not the strongest trick ever, but highly entertaining.

Stolen by Urbain and Gentlemen's Magic
A ring-flight effect with a leather wallet and pin. Borrow a ring, vanish it, and it reappears pinned to the wallet. Simple handling, clever gimmick, and versatile as it works with rings or other small objects. The props are well made, natural to use, and the routine feels smooth and deceptive.

Crazy Sam’s Coin by Sam Huang & Hanson Chien
A custom coin set for visual coin magic: vanishes, appearances, and coins across at your fingertips. The steel coins handle beautifully, shells fit perfectly, and routines look stunning. Sam’s teaching is thorough, but this is best for intermediate to advanced coin workers, it requires serious practice. A powerful tool for those willing to put in the time.

PIN by Flatbase & TCC Magic
A quirky card trick using a gimmicked clothespin to catch a selected card from a dribble. Multiple methods are taught: from easy but slightly gimmicked versions, to a harder, almost ungimmicked version where the card can even be signed. The props are cleverly made and the effect is charming, though it takes practice to perform smoothly.
