Buying cheap

Check out the "card bite" trick on my tik tok channel www.tiktok.com/@magicorthodoxy?lang=en
Awesome 👍👍
I also purchased a few tricks from 'Wish' and very few came with instructions. There were two tricks that were worth the money ($2) & came with instructions - & worked very well. One was called the spinning nut & bolt trick. The nut actually spins off the bolt in your hand. Mine came with 2 batteries, a tiny magnet, instructions, a sleeve (which you need the install the battery.) This trick really works & is almost impossible to figure out. The nut & bolt look like a normal nut & bolt & the battery is undetectable. Well worth the money.
The other trick was the bending key trick- It is like the bending quarter trick that you put in a bottle, only it is a key - very well made with instructions, an extra 'real' key & extra, tiny rubber bands.
I got that nut and bolt trick from ALI EXPRESS - probably the same one
@@magicorthodoxy Did you like the nut & bolt trick as much as I did?
I have not opened it yet
@@magicorthodoxy After you do, & have time to play with it awhile, please let me know your opinion of this trick. Thanks!
At 7:33, you could maybe glue some felt on the p*ll to decrease or eliminate noise? You could also do like with the “R***n and put some sticky-tack on the magnet and it could p*ll other, non-magnetized things.
good tips
I go half way. I buy my coin stuff in Morgan replica from the Chinese magic shops on Amazon. $30 vs. up to $300 for essentially the same plated pressed brass gimmicks. They even give visual instructions for routines (no speaking). for all else... I go to Penguin or buy raw materials and fabricate.
ahhh I see
Thanks for this!! Some folks are probably wondering if what they got is what the actual trick is not realizing the quality. Very well done without much, if any reveals! I don't know how you did that. A trick in itself! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve acquired a few good tricks from wish that have instructions that were decent tricks. I’ve purchased one magic trick from Ali express and it didn’t have instructions but they tell you that if you don’t get instructions to let them know and they will email them to you which they have done.
my ali express stuff still has not arrived - much slower
I think fraudulent copies will always be copies and nothing more. You don’t make money trying to spend less.
Support creators and legal retailers by buying less but better. Long after the price is forgotten, the quality remains..
Long life to Magic Orthodoxy. 🇫🇷
agreed
As things change amazing how much they stay the same. I remember when I first got into magic we did not have the internet. What we had was catalogs with line drawings of the products. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a cool prop in a magic store or a performance, bought what was advertised to be that prop from one of those catalogs only to get a cheap poorly homemade knock off of it. Some of those brick and mortar mail order stores are still around today and still ripping people off.
very true

With magic tricks you pay for what you get! Great video David!!!
with ANYTHING
I tried to order a trick from AliExpress quite a long time ago, and after several days of the item not being shipped, the seller contacted me and told me to give him my email address, to send my *pictures* of my trick I ordered. After asking him to refund my purchase, he tried to tell me I bought the wrong item, but in the item description it clearly said all props included.
Long story long, don't waste your time or money on these sites.
Sorry to hear that
Please note -
No reputable magic dealers where harmed in the making of this video… nor was Dave’s wallet
lol
Hi David:
I don’t use WISH to buy tricks, mostly because I feel it takes money away from the original creators; secondly, because I’d rather study-up before buying and pay a bit extra for the “real thing.”
However: WISH is a potential source for buying props and accessories that cannot be easily sourced elsewhere. For example: I was looking for a “poison” ring for use in a “Borgia Dinner” routine (a ring that features a hidden compartment used, in the old days, to hide toxic nasties and kill enemies). These are difficult to find and usually very expensive. I found quite a few on WISH, all between $1-$5 plus $3-$4 shipping. I bought two and the quality was fine for what I needed. WISH is also valuable for sourcing stones, bells, bags, boxes, Tarot cards, pendulums, because they have wide selections and all are very, VERY inexpensive. Also: oddball stuff like finger smoke paper.
Just for the record: everything I’ve received from WISH has been of a good or acceptable quality. I haven’t felt cheated once. I realize that others, some of whom HAVE purchased tricks, have had very negative experiences, so I'm not making an endorsement: only sharing my experience buying ancillary support items.
I use PayPal on WISH to be protected in that respect. WISH has a reliable tracking system. Most shipments arrive within two weeks (give or take). In fact: they will give you a delivery range upfront and have always been true to those estimates.
For actual effects: go to the creators or the companies directly representing those folks. If you are having trouble finding unusual and/or inexpensive props: check out WISH.
good to know
Yeah I bought 2 items when I started but then sat and thought about it and came to the same conclusion. The tricks were garbage too.
When I was poor hightschool student I ordered Venom from wish and I got instruction by message, and I think very good copy. (It looks same for me)
If you check the reviews, I think you can get good stuff too.... Of course if your moral can take it. Nowdays I don't order from wish.
thanks !!!
I’ve got great PK rings for $1
Flash products have been really good. The knock of a particular trick that costs $500 here. I know cause I bought it. I was curious to see if the $38 knock off was any good. Much to my surprise it’s just as good as the original. Not gonna mention what it is.
I'd never risk it after this experience. Plus it takes $$ away from the inventor
I also ordered the Presto Printo trick from Wish a while back. I recognized right away what it was, and I assumed there would be no instructions, but my cards have the Bicycle back design, not the logo you described.
wow - must be a diff seller
The QR code could be how you get instructions for the rings. A lot of products do that now days. Saves paper and what not. No telling with that junk though.
nope
Use to buy some wish stuff it’s totally 💯 poor Quality I agree
Chinese coins and okito box flash paper work well
It’s better to go smaller retailer if you go online these magic shop are better tbh you do get instructions you do get better deals
yup
I've never bought magic from Wish... but, after biting on the ads, I've bought other items from Wish that were absolute crap... Like you, I had limited my Wish budget to under $25, so I wasn't out too much money. Lesson learned...
never again
This was a great video! Seriously. I've never ordered from there thankfully. Thanks dave!!
Awesome
I have 4 tricks that I bought off both Aliexpress and an American vendor. On three of them, the gimmick was of comparable quality, while on one, the gimmick was poorly made compared to the one from the US vendor. In all 4 instances, the packaging on the US soured trick was better, but that's just packaging.
interesting
Excellent! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Suprised to see Chinese on the mail return!!!! Just KIDDING IM NOT** at all Suprised!!!
Those buggers really know how to hold a grudge ; they're STILL making us pay for the
Mr Chung Li Soo debacle
the ali express stuff still has not arrived
some sites market just the download instructions (without the gimmicks) … not sure which is worse … you get what you pay for 🤪
Always look for reviews on what you are buying … thanks David for helping me eliminate my “Wish” list 👍🏻👍🏻
lol
About the instruction you can always ask for it from the sellers, at least from aliexpress you will always get it. Some are good products, some are not. I am not saying it is OK to buy from them, but you can get good stuff on some cases, just to be honest.
nah, not worth it to me - this stuff is clearly garbage
@@magicorthodoxy As I stated with magic, I had allot of simple stuff from Aliexpress and most of it was OK. In time I stopped baying there from respect to the creator's. I did discover that some of the stuff I get from the magic stores have the same quality and some are better. I guess that there is some stuff that come from the same manufacturers, especially the cheap ones that are in the magic dealers. But again as I said I no longer buy there to support the creator's.
I love all the tricks i bought from wish, i even got a little hand that i still use to this day. It takes four months for wish products to get to me, but i live in south africa :)
interesting
@@magicorthodoxy okay, I may have exaggerated when I said all 😂 because I dont know where the others are, but when I got them they were exactly what I paid for.. which goes both ways I guess
A very thorough and proof-filled "No" video. I love it!
Do you have links for the original tricks - happy to pay the original creators.... so if u add the links that would be great - or the exact names so we can find a buy.
you can find them all on penguin - which ones specifically ?
Hey David, past winner here asking if you think Wish has a knockoff version of That *cking Card Trick superior to the original? I’m kidding, of course.
:D
Interesting topic. Selling cheap junk magic props is one thing, but selling knock-off copyrighted magic effects? I guess there are no laws in China
thanks for stopping by
@@davidhanson5181 not the same - didn't get a real ring included or instructions
I dont want to 'diss' china but they don't care about anyone over there ..
Qr code on the package = instructions?
nope
From other people's videos I've seen buying this cheap crap they stick all the packages in one as they did with yours and then was usually a piece of paper included which has the China magic/ 24/7 China magic which is the place where they sell pirated videos of all the tricks you can basically get on wish and there is usually a link to try and get you to buy the pirated 1:1 videos.
lame
I don't like the fact that Wish and AliExpress sell copyrighted magic. But I HATE the overpriced official stuff. As a poor amateur magician, I buy the cheap stuff and practice to perform it well. Oftentimes the quality is virtually the same at a tenth of the price.
One scam to avoid however is, many of the sellers are selling INSTRUCTIONS ONLY (i.e. bootlegged copies of video downloads). You will not receive any gimmicks needed to perform the effect! BUYER BEWARE!
the cheap stuff is also BUYER BEWARE _ it's stolen money taken from the magicians that we claim to love.
It's usually the publisher's fault (Penguin Magic, Theory 11, etc.) that the tricks are so overpriced. Unfortunately the actual creators don't see much profit. I feel the high price of entry makes magic an elitist hobby. I think more folks would get into magic if they could afford it.
Just because you can't afford the things "you want" doesn't mean you can't afford tricks. My friend makes a living performing magic and he only uses a normal deck of cards.
Oh, absolutely! I taught myself magic from borrowed library books and can slay laymen and magicians alike with nothing but a pack of Bikes. But ask any magician and they'll tell you it IS an expensive hobby and that they have spent good money on crap tricks.
Please more of this video..
I dont want to waste more of my money on this garbage
I've bought stuff from Wish. Never again. Quality is just not there.
Agreed
You get what you paid for, thanks for sharing 😊👍😊
Thanks for watching!
Love this topic lol!
cool
Have you tried to scan the code on the folio?
no dice
I personally have no respect for people copying and selling crap versions of the originals.
For example odyssey, I actually love and own that effect. The only positive about them selling it is it's not being sold anymore by theory 11. So any (budget/cheap) replacement would be a plus.
but this isn't a good copy of Odyssey so ... its worthles
@@magicorthodoxy I agree
Sometimes you get instructions. But I stopped buying on Wish when I discovered it was cheap copies and they sold others secrets 👎
yup - they suck
Maybe wish can make THE PEEK better than the original 🤣😂😂🤣
the peek is getting an upgrade to fix the past issues - hopefully get to do a review that sets the record straight with the new additions
LOL-NOT! I’ve never heard of “Wish”. I guess that’s a good thing. I wish more people could see this video and understand that magic people buy from unknown off-shore internet stores at really low prices get exactly what they pay for i.e. ripped off!
YES! YES! YES !!!!
😅 This is funny because I'm sure some people think they are saving money but it's a scam.
totally
That was painful to watch lol....I remember a video Adam Wilbur posted where he bought pyro from Wish. He wouldn't even test it out. lol He said the safety features he and Ellusionist put on, weren't on the Wish one. He was worried it could burn up your hand upon ignition ...... it was put together with crazy glue and duct tape .... Anyways, funny video! Cheers!!
oh wow
One request 😊
Review theory 11 magic tricks
Thanks 🙏
I really want to !!! Tell Andy !!!
The coin induction box just looks like a cheap ripoff of the Tenyo/Magic Works Vision Vault trick I had as a kid
interesting
Are you related to animation? You sound and look just like him.
there is a person named ANIMATION?
I ordered Gregory Wilson's FreeKey from Wish and the gimmick was terrible.... 👎
yup
You should put on a "show" using stuff like this as a joke. Maybe on Tiktok. Be all serious about it even though you can see the card shadows, or the coin box gets stuck etc. Something for fun.
check out the card bite trick www.tiktok.com/@magicorthodoxy?lang=en
@@magicorthodoxy 🤣That was great lighting!
I wish...not.
lol
This was an interesting video, thank you for wasting your money 😆
More to come
Worst magic trick I ever got is "Chop Doh" by J. Natera. What a piece of Sh#t. Everyone who ever reviewed that trick says the same thing.
It seems like you were disappointed that most of the stuff was junk. I hope you weren't expecting much beforehand lol. Nice video though, it was entertaining to watch you actually get to criticize cheap knockoffs for once instead of talking about a cool expensive trick.
I knew it would be junk
Those look.... quite terrible. esp that bootleg wow😱
Agreed
Maybe I won't complain about what I get from Penguin Magic anymore lol, sometimes I don't like the Gimmick, but this is pretty bad, I'd be angry with this. Even for a buck.
yup
Ehh they’ve made enough money already by the time there’s an aftermarket product it’s fine and instructions can normally be found on other websites.
if you know what to look for
🤣🤣🤣
👍🏻🙂👍🏻
:D
You should never buy anything from Ali express or wish. Chinese knock off garbage!!
agreed
You need to contact the seller by sending him a message for the tutorials, he'll send you the tutorials link , he may ask you to send him your email so he'll send you the tutorial to your email.
yikes - I would not want any of these "sellers" to have my email
