Best Magic Tricks Awards 2014

The Best Magic Tricks of 2014

It’s been a great year in the world of magic, so it’s been a pleasure running through the feedback from magicians picking the best magic tricks to hit magic shops in 2014.

Magicians show an endless drive for creativity, with brand new concepts and clever re-workings of classic effects being released at a fast pace. The latests and greatest magic tricks often have a short shelf life. Magicians constantly update and expand their acts. The process can be hit and miss, with most new magic tricks ending up abandoned and forgotten. So, let’s cut through the tricks that have fallen by the wayside and look at best magic tricks to be released in 2014.

How the award winning magic tricks are selected.

The Merchant of Magic is a magic shop. So, it’s only fair to point out that we also supply most of the items that have won best magic tricks awards. However, the best magic tricks are just a few out of over 27,000 magic tricks that the magic shop supplies. The magic shop receives no payment from manufacturers for selection of the list. We have specifically left out several items that are produced by The Merchant of Magic.

The finalists that have been given a best magic trick 2014 award are selected from the following sources of opinion:

  • Customer feedback.
  • Quanity 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 given in no  order. Each of these magic tricks have won its place as the top most recommended magic tricks launched in 2014.

Hundredth Monkey by Chris Philpott

best-magic-tricks-hundredth-monkey As imaginative as it is clever, Hundredth Monkey captured the attention of professional mentalists and magicians as soon as it was released.

Springboard – By Michael Murray

Springboard - Best Magic Tricks 2014Springboard is so simple an idea that we can’t believe we didn’t think of it! It is a perfect method to allow someone to read your mind!

Such a cool idea that lay people LOVE! Find out more

 

 

 

Water Works by Uday and Paul Harris

Water WorksOne of the biggest sellers of 2014 with good reason. Water Works updates the anti-gravity water plot and introduces some stunning visuals. Filling a bottle full of water, turning it upside down and then pushing objects into the bottle to watch them float up… what’s not to like. Making it all examinable.. even better!

Dollar to Gum by Twister Magic

Best Magic Tricks 2014 Dollar to GumDollar to gum is a real killer of a visual effect. A reworked gimmick of the older trick Dollar to Credit.

It is easily adapted to any currency (as long as it folds!) and really looks like TV magic, these visuals are what the lay public have come to expect from magicians and Dollar to Gum really doesn’t fail to deliver.
