20. Magic Orthodoxy

Magic Orthodoxy is a channel that will NOT teach you any magic tricks.

Soon or later you will want to buy some magic product, let’s say a magic trick.

Problem is that in most cases you don’t really know what you’re getting and you have to rely only on trailer video that showcases the magic trick but doesn’t really go into details about the trick, what are its positives or negatives.

For this reason, it’s good to watch some reviews online.

There are, however, not that many channels that review magic tricks…

Magic Orthodoxy is the best and possibly the biggest YouTube channel that reviews magic tricks and playing cards that you can buy in magic stores.

His videos are very informative and fun to watch.

He never reveals the secret of how the tricks are done, but rather discusses who should be interested in the tricks and if you’re really getting what the manufacturer is promising to you in the ad copy.

A great channel to watch and follow!
