The Best Magic Tricks of 2015
2015 has seen some of the best magic tricks to be released in a long time. The year was a creative melting pot of ideas. It’s been a pleasure going through the feedback from magicians so we can pick the best magic tricks to be released in 2015.
A magician never shows the same trick twice to the same audience, so by it’s nature, a magicians act has to be constantly updated and expanded. It’s an individual process, because each performer has their own style and persona. A trick that wins one magician a fantastic reputation, can leave another magician completely cold. So, let’s look at the tricks that have had the best feedback from magicians in 2015
How the award winning magic tricks are selected.
The Merchant of Magic is a magic shop. So, it’s only right to make clear that we stock most of the items that have won a best magic tricks awards. However, the magic shop is a ‘whole of market’ store, with over 27,000 other magic tricks available. Merchant of magic receives no payment from manufacturers for inclusion in this list. We have not included many items that are produced by The Merchant of Magic, so as to be as impartial as possible.
The winners of a best magic trick 2015 award are chosen from these sources of opinion:
- Customer feedback.
- Quantity of sales.
- Level of returns.
- The views of magic shop demonstrators.
- Reviews and feedback from magic forums.
- Real world testing by professional magicians.
The list is in no particular order.
