Magician Rick Lax created this illusion you can learn that lets you take any three coins and make the visually and audibly pass through a clear glass, and even let the audience examine it. (Thanks Len!)

Ice Cream Magic

While there’s something cheesy about Taiwanese magician Yif’s production values, the part where he pulls an entire ice cream sundae out of the menu’s flat pages still had us scratching our heads.

Magician Mahdi Gilbert has deformed arms and hands. But as Magic-Con said, Gilbert “palms without palms, shuffles without fingers and is living proof that nothing is impossible.”

Currency Change Trick

Currency Change Trick

A magician transforms a coin into bills from different countries and then some. It’s not sleight of hand, but a mix of video editing and vfx, but it’s still fun to watch. Skip to 5:20 for the trick.

Pyrofreak 3.0 Ultimate

Pyrofreak 3.0 Ultimate

Conjure all manner of magical flames, fire and sparks with this tiny electronic ignition device, designed to be used by illusionists – but there’s no reason you can’t play with fire too.

Shell Game Machine

Shell Game Machine

Despite it’s simplicity, we’ve always enjoyed the old shell game trick. Here, an handmade automaton manages to mess with our heads as it performs the familiar trick whenever its crank is turned.

Wizard Wars

Wizard Wars

Two teams of magicians are given a set of four props and have 60 minutes to create original routines which incorporate all the elements. A little rough, but seems like a fun idea for a series.

CES Magician

CES Magician

Instead of hiring booth babes (or bros), an exhibitor at CES brought a magician with them to attract visitors. He pretended to explain his tricks even as he continuously fooled his audience.

Hit by Car Illusion

Hit by Car Illusion

Illusionist AXEL messes with our head as he stands in front of a speeding car, and proceeds to vanish right before it hits him. There’s supposedly no video tricks, so consider our minds boggled.

Penn & Teller: Cups & Balls Trick

Penn & Teller: Cups & Balls Trick

Penn & Teller perform their take on the cups & balls sleight of hand. They then break several rules of magic by repeating the trick and explaining how it’s done. We still don’t get it though.

The Impossible Nail Trick

The Impossible Nail Trick

Take a good, long look at this mind-bending image. Then try and figure out how the hell the nail got though there. Perplexed? Then watch the video to see the totally logical, but still amazing solution.

Magnetic Memory

Magnetic Memory

Hard drives, cassette tapes and credit cards store information using magnets, so why shouldn’t calculators? If you are to believe this illusion by Youtuber Brusspup, they do already.

One of the street magicians featured in Penn & Teller’s Magic and Mystery Tour miniseries, this man dedicated his life to mastering a single trick – the ability to change masks instantly.

YouTube has become the home for perplexing the drive-thru staff at fast food restaurants, so why not really freak them out with a little magic, like Penguin Magic’s floating dollar bill trick?

Keep your knives nice and sharp with Fred’s cheeky block sharpener that lets you magically cut your tiny assistant in half – or at least sever her carotid artery based on the location of the blade.

Fu Yandong commands goldfish to swim in various formations. Some say that the fish have been fed with magnets, while others say that the fish have been trained to follow laser light. Trick is at 1:45.

Magic Numbers

Good close-up magic makes our brains hurt. Justin Flom’s musical trickery doesn’t disappoint, as he perfectly syncs up his card draws with his musical soundtrack. (Thanks, Justin!)
