Magic Tricks

Every magician buys at least a couple of new tricks every year to broaden their repertoire or try something new. What magic tricks were the biggest hits of 2023? We have a mix of new releases and absolute classics.

1. Heartbeat by Juan Colás
2. Sympathetic Ten
3. Charming Chinese Challenge
4. Permanent Record
5. Eclipse

Heartbeat was the biggest hit of 2023. Juan Colás managed to create a unique magic trick that is intimate and provides a one-of-a-kind experience to the participant.

Books

We mention this quite often. We consider books the best source for learning and diving deep into magic. There are so many secrets hidden in the pages of magic books that nobody will ever have the chance to explore them all. Which books caught the readers’ eyes in 2023?

1. Instructions for Miracles
2. Encyclopedia of Card Tricks
3. The Definitive Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick
4. In Order to Amaze
5. Designing Miracles

We were pleasantly surprised by the success of Friedrich Roitzsch's new book Instructions for Miracles. It is filled with material he developed and uses in his magic shows. We got the chance to meet Friedrich in Munich. Seeing him perform the tricks from his book with his passion for them was amazing.

The End

2023 was a fantastic year. We got to see new and unique ideas, discover talented magicians and creators all over the world, and handle eye-catching decks of cards. We can’t wait for what 2024 brings!
