Stuntman Steve Truglia is also a magician and an expert on gambling cheaters. Here, he does a burn and a card trick to symbolize the pressure that cheaters feel. The trick isn’t great, but we certainly couldn’t do better while on fire.

Split Man Illusion Prank

We can’t imagine how magician Andy Gross manages to contort his body to pull off his Split Man illusion, but he does a great job scaring the crap out of bystanders with it. Nice sandbox faceplant there.

A unique glass made in Germany designed to be spun on a smooth surface. While it won’t spin ’round forever, it’s the perfect drinking glass for those the can’t stop fiddling around. Wonder if they could combine it with this.

A neat mirror that reflects whatever is in front of it as it really is, as opposed to showing a mirror image. It’s actually made of two normal mirrors placed at right angles. Cheaper version here.
