00:00Okay, quick one for you.
00:02I've been digging through the best deals on magic props, and this one's called
00:05Stiff Rope vs. Invisible Reel, which magic trick wins?
00:095 tricks, all under 10 bucks, and I tried every single one so you don't waste your money.
00:15Let's get into it.
00:17First up is the Vanishing Dove.
00:20This is the latex version, so it's super light and squishes flat in your pocket until the moment you need
00:25it.
00:26Open your hand, and there's a full rubber dove sitting there, then it vanishes again.
00:31For $92, almost 5,000 sold, most popular trick on this list.
00:36Great first purchase for beginners.
00:39Now the Deluxe Stiff Rope in Red, by Copper Magic.
00:43The rope is soft until you want it, then it goes completely rigid, so you can whip it around like
00:48steel,
00:48stand on it, or hand it to a spectator who has no idea it bends.
00:52The red reads clearly on camera too, which matters for short-form content.
00:574.96, 4.5 stars, 3,700 units moved.
01:02Solid buy.
01:04Then the Mind Magic Falling Can, and honestly this one got the biggest reaction.
01:09Press the remote, the can appears to collapse or fall on its own, and the audience thinks you figured out
01:14physics.
01:15The remote fits in your palm, and the fake can has a nice weighted feel so it doesn't sound like
01:20plastic.
01:217.15, more than the rope, but it still holds a 4.6 rating and 3,300 sold.
01:28Next is my favorite for laughs, the potato chip snake.
01:32It's a gimmick can, and when you pull the tab, out springs this rubber snake that looks genuinely nasty,
01:37like something you'd find in a sewer.
01:40Plays perfectly as an April Fool's gag or a Halloween opener.
01:445.96, 4.6 stars, close to 3,000 sold.
01:49If you want pure comedy, this is your pick.
01:52Last is the ball and tube mystery in brass, and this is the classiest of the group.
01:57A solid brass ball rises and falls inside a tube when nobody's touching it,
02:01and it reads like a real magic object, not a plastic toy.
02:05The brass weight gives it an expensive look on camera, and it performs close up with no visible
02:10rigging.
02:118.31, most expensive here, and the lowest seller count at 21.50, but if you're doing table work
02:17or a restaurant set, this is the one that looks professional.
02:21Alright, links for all 5 are down in the description.
02:24If you think the falling can wins, smash that like and subscribe,
02:28because I've got more head-to-head prop battles coming.
