    Did you steal my commercial EDC trick?

    We’re back for Episode 3 — and somehow you’re still here 😅 This week we talk all things Blackpool… despite not actually being there. From the FOMO and sales dips to the dealer stands that genuinely impressed us, we break down what stood out from the convention and which releases caught our eye. We also dive into unexpected bestsellers in the shop, hidden gems that deserve more attention, and whether magic reviewers are actually helping or just being too soft. There’s a proper rant about what “commercial” really means in magic, plus a discussion about overhyped products and how to decide what’s actually worth your money. We answer your listener questions too, including our “Mount Rushmore” of impromptu magic and the playing cards we actually use in the real world. And we get into something every creator deals with at some point , working on an idea… only to see something very similar hit the market before you. If you’re into magic, the business side of magic, creating your own effects, or just honest conversation about what’s really going on behind the scenes, this episode’s for you.
