Magic Review - MiniBook Pro by Noel Qualter and Roddy McGhie

[@daverothberg2624]

clever idea and clever prop Wasn’t aware of this 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for reviewing 👍👍

[@magicorthodoxy]

Happy to help

[@Moviemaniac221]

fills the boxes for what joshua jay mentioned in an essay about researching what spectators like: magic with a prop ✅️ has a surprise, unexpected ending ✅️ features small things, women especially love this ✅️ and is damn strong, imagine Lit but for a more familiar, informed audience. you'll love it, DEFINITELY get a refill pack with this

[@magicorthodoxy]

agreed

[@Legendskilled]

I just wanted to say that you're awesome man. You are literally reviewing all the latest cool magic tricks. I didn't think you would review this one so quickly as it came out only 2 months ago but good job man and hope you keep reviewing latest magic tricks right when they come out.

[@magicorthodoxy]

that's the plan !!

[@ReelRadical]

I haven’t quite mastered the mercury card fold yet. I wonder if there’s an alternative way to do it?

[@magicorthodoxy]

me neither

[@dmontes133]

This looks so cool! I’m going to get it! Thank you!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@BLANK10111]

i got one of these the other day and have been using it a lot. very well made and fun to do. :)

[@magicorthodoxy]

Great to hear!

[@presto709]

Do you have to force a card AND do the Mercury card fold? I would think if you force a card you would have a dup pre-folded.

[@100houdini]

I think for the signed card option.

[@guarro54]

Why are you anti apple products? Genuinely curious Cuz I'm debating between Google pixel and IPhone 15.

[@magicorthodoxy]

purely tradition - Ive always had droid and pc, so at 55 i'm not switching now

[@themagicbuzz5728]

Perfect trick for someone who knows they need live practice/group interaction and crowd control. It has everything and it’s topical so all ages etc.

[@magicorthodoxy]

agreed

[@chrisharrelson66]

I've been curious about this trick for some time Dave. Thank you so much. It's now in my wishlist.

[@WordAttack88]

I own it....it´s a great trick. And the tutorial is awesome. Great review...as always :)

[@magicorthodoxy]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@pinballwizard666]

Definitely needs the card to be signed. Get a card refill and seriously consider getting the cards scored. The cards need this to enable the mercury fold. And yes it will last a very long time .... Unless you drop it. (Of course this is true of many props). I did but managed to get another. Noel and Roddy both very helpful.

[@magicorthodoxy]

good to hear

[@100houdini]

No Apple? 😎Great review! btw: I sat next to Steve Jobs in band at Homestead High in CA.

[@magicorthodoxy]

nice !!!

[@rhook88]

As soon as I heard the word “refill” it was an instant no from me.

[@magicorthodoxy]

OK

[@fernymagic]

Still waiting for this to get restocked in U.S. shops.

[@magicorthodoxy]

looks like Murphys is a USA distributor

[@TrickTrickBoomMagic]

We ship from US directly. Yeah I know shipping is a bummer but we aren’t a soulless million dollar company like vanishing Inc or penguin, we can’t afford to do free shipping. If you buy directly from the creators you’ll get a nice warm feeling of helping the little guys with a new company. Also, we are the only place you can buy the cards prescored!

[@TrickTrickBoomMagic]

And we have stock ready to ship.

[@Highlandmagician]

I have this it is awesome i use it all the time reactions awesome. Brian jay Alness scottish highlands

[@magicorthodoxy]

That's awesome

[@maverick627uk]

Couldn't agree more regarding Apple products. Great review as always David 🙂

[@magicorthodoxy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@EvanForman]

Yes, video is free, but time is not. I'm seeing more and more tutorial videos these days that are disorganized, repetitive, and bloated to the point of being self-indulgent. This one is not that bad, but I do think that with a little bit more pre-planning and editing it could have been a tight 90 minutes. It seems like the videos that feature two creators seem to the worst offenders--each of them wants to repeat and embellish what the other said, and they spend a lot of time complimenting each other..

[@TrickTrickBoomMagic]

Hi, I’ve said this a few times but it’s worth repeating here again. The instructions are in chapters, I chose this option so people could watch what they wanted and skip what they already know!!. If you are an experienced magician you can be up and running in 30 mins, all you need to do is watch my performance and recreate that. That plus learning how to do production with a spectators phone The reason it’s so long is we need to explain the downloading files, customisation, sleights for those that don’t know them etc. Even though it’s explained in huge detail, I still get several emails every day from people confused by downloading an app. Maybe the instructions weren’t long enough for them? If you are an experienced magician that’s great news, congrats, you can skip loads of it but plenty of people are complete beginners and I wanted to include enough info that they can perform the trick too. I paid £300 to upgrade my Vimeo to use chapters, please skip what you already know, it’s your choice to watch stat you want to.

[@EvanForman]

@@TrickTrickBoomMagic Thanks for the response, Noel. I definitely appreciate the chapters and the level of detail that you went into. Great trick!

[@TrickTrickBoomMagic]

@@EvanForman thanks so much.
