The Saturday Show November 22nd

The Saturday Show November 22nd


I’m layered up in a thermal this morning because it is absolutely freezing out there. But it is still Saturday at 9 a.m., which can only mean one thing: welcome to the Monster Magic Saturday Show.

My Intuition by Jordan Victoria (£25.99)
Jordan’s been releasing creative gimmicked decks for a while, and this one continues his solid track record.

The effect is a classic plot: a participant freely selects a card, and the magician reveals three cards predicting its colour, suit, and value. Though the method relies on two traditional principles and a fully gimmicked deck, the subtleties make the handling look natural. The deck can be shown clearly, spread face down, even shuffled though you’ll want to ensure your participant won’t over-handle or inspect it.

The cards are cleanly printed on red Rider Backs, and the small bit of setup for the three reveal cards takes seconds. Jordan’s 20-minute tutorial is clear and thorough, covering performance, subtleties, spectator management, potential problem cases, and reset. It’s strong table magic, perfect for parlor settings or small shows where you can openly display the cards. As a one-trick deck, it’s powerful, practical, and does most of the work for you.

Escape Card by Risky Nanda (£16.99)
In this routine, a signed selection is locked behind a “jail” card and visually vanishes, only to reappear face-up in the middle of the deck. It’s charming, playful, and engages the audience with a clear storyline.

The gimmicked jail card is well made, has no moving parts, and creates a clean, convincing vanish with a simple wave.

The tutorial by Eric Tate is excellent; he covers all workings, including an alternative handling where the vanished card appears in your pocket or another impossible location. This variant requires palming, but with the jail card serving as misdirection, the move is easier than beginners expect. To position the card in the deck, a half pass (or what I’d call a turnover pass) is recommended, simple, covered, and very effective.

Everything resets quickly, the selection can be signed and given away, and cleanup is minimal. One gaff remains in the deck afterward, so it’s best removed before continuing with other tricks. Overall, this is a strong, practical vanish with versatility and no delicate flaps or fragile parts.

E:JECT by Trick Trick Boom (£132.50)
I’ve watched this one evolve since its early days, and it’s an absolute joy. The core effect: you search for a Sharpie, can’t find one, and suddenly it blasts out of your pocket and into your hand. It’s hilarious, startling, and unforgettable. But the gimmick is capable of much more—sending objects between bags, using it as a card stab, firing items from your case, or building full routines around it.

The engineering is outstanding: injection-moulded parts, metal adjustment knob, solid indicators, no flimsy construction. It charges quickly and holds enough power for hundreds of launches. The remote is compact, tactile, and runs on a standard button battery, making operation discreet.

You can mount it in different positions, even strap it to your arm. You’ll need to practice to control angle and height—consistent clothing and posture matter—but setup is quick and intuitive. It’s an incredible tool for professionals, whether as a comedic beat, magical production, or standalone moment. It’s not cheap, but the quality and durability justify the price if you’re going to use it regularly.

The Royal Mixup by Joel Anthony (£42.99)
Two cards are chosen; you reveal a single prediction card that first matches one selection, then visually transforms to match the second. You receive two versions of the gimmick, plus extras of the final giveaway card. The selected cards must be forced, but Joel teaches a simple option and you can use any force you prefer. The gimmick is clean, well built, and the change itself is visual, smooth, and hand-cleaning, leaving you free to toss the card or show your hands empty. My only reservation is the final combined card—it’s visually unusual, and while some may find it charming or symbolic (great for couples or themed presentations), it may feel slightly odd in a general routine. Still, the mechanics are solid, the handling simple, and the visual moment strong.

And that wraps up this week’s show. 
Until next week, grab some magic, get out there, and enjoy the best hobby in the world. Bye-bye.
