"MiniBook Pro has it all. It's a powerful, funny, easy, visual, topical, and memorable routine with a fantastic, surprise ending. Pro level outside of the box creativity. This is a new classic for the current times everybody will love to perform, especially professionals. The spectators keep the magic which guarantees an unforgettable performance. Highly recommended!"
- Bob Kohler

"I can't imagine being a layperson and having a card trick change everything I know about the laws of nature. What a fantastic, impossible moment you've created, and it happens right in their hands."
-Chad Long

It's time to bring your magic kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

MiniBook Pro is the most commercial trick in a generation.

Here's why:

  • Techy magic
  • Cool and relevant
  • Eye-popping visual production
  • Built-in funny presentation
  • Easy to do - no difficult sleights
  • HUGE surprise finish
  • Devastatingly strong reactions - guaranteed
  • Spectator keeps a souvenir of the magic moment
THE ROUTINE

You start your act with the super-visual production of a mini laptop, then have some fun with the tiny computer, saying it can the find the spectator's card - but it fails. When your spectator looks back at the MiniBook Pro their brain melts as they realize that it has impossibly morphed into their signed card! A mind-blowing finish that creates screams, laughter and astonishment. Then you get to freeze the magic moment by giving them an impossible souvenir. This is the kind of magic that your spectators will talk about for years!

"I love this trick! I will burn your house down if you don't immediately send me one."
-Piff the Magic Dragon

"Great visual opener, fun interactive presentation and killer ending - what more could any performer want?!"
-Bill Abbott

What tricks can you think of where an object transforms in the spectator's own hands without them realizing? It's ok, I'll wait...no me either.

When they slowly realize what's happened it's a moment of pure surprise and delight.

"Ohhhh wait..f*ck you. I didn't see that coming tbh. You took two plots I love and made an incredibly fun routine. Love it!"
-Calen Morelli

"This routine is so smart. It's really everything you could possibly want from a close up effect."
-Ben Seidman

THE PRODUCTION

The king of digital magic, Marc Kerstein has also created a brilliant solution for us to allow you to pull the laptop from the spectator's own phone! You borrow any smart phone and ask the spectator to visit a website, you take the phone from them and pull the laptop from their phone. They will never discover the secret as it automatically cleans itself up.

"It is delightful to watch their expressions when one thing, in their heads, transforms into something else. This trick is a true reality twister."
-Tom Stone

"Starts as a trendy gag and flips into a hard hitting miracle that's hiding in plain sight on the palm of their hand. Great thinking!"
-Apollo Robbins

IN THE BOX

Great trick annoying rambling 3 hr explanation Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 30th, 2023
GREAT TRICK IT KILLS!

However the explanation goes on and on and on!

They absolutely ramble and utterly analyze this trick into the ground!!!

It’s like someone dragging their nails on a chalk board!

As well you can’t download the explanation.

I bought it so I should be able to download it

It is not until 40 minutes in they start going through the explanation in agonizing silly detail.

I could go on and on about how overly “explained” this is but I won’t

Again great trick despite all the babble. Suffer through the explanation if you desire or just get the gist of it and start performing it

I love the effect....however.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 10th, 2023
The effect is great and I love the idea of taking an object off there phone and bringing it into reality, however the title of the trick and the title of the webpage is so closely connected, they are many times looking at videos and ad copy of the trick I'm about ready to perform for them. So I wish the web page that the spectator is going to was not the same name of the trick.....

Another hit by Roddy!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 21st, 2024
The reviews are spot on - it is a great trick but the tutorial video is a very time consuming. Roddy is great but Noel goes on and on with every aspect of how the trick was conceive, the manufacturing process and on and on...

Best part is refills are available on Penguin!

One of the best reactions of all ! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 25th, 2024
I've only had a couple of weeks with it now, and I am still working on my "finesse" a little bit, but the moves are easy and you have enough misdirection built in that you don't even really have to try too hard, which makes the routine flow better than so many others. Hope refills are available soon as I will definitely need them.
