Master of Illusion now available for the DS
Everyone was amazed by magic tricks at some point in their lives. It’s the unknown that gets to everyone. Remember when you first heard about Houdini? Remember when David Blane used to be fun to watch? Now you can be like them!
In case you hadn’t noticed, Nintendo’s newest DS game, Master of Illusion, arrived on retail shelves earlier this week. The game comes with step-by-step instructions for over 20 magic tricks that integrate the DS, and even comes with a deck of cards to get you started. Imagine that. For the price of a DS game, you get a DS game AND a deck to play Egyptian Rat Screw for when you need to pass the time (and your DS runs out of charge).

Now allow me, if you will, to insert the game card into the Nintendo DS™ portable gaming system. With a few taps of the touch screen with my magic wand stylus … Voilà! Instantly you are transformed into a Master of Illusion™!

WOW ERS (Egyptian Rat Screw), you are the only dude I’ve known that actually has heard of that game. Too bad I was always to slow to play it….
Everyone used to play that game back where I’m from. That, and Speed and Spoons. But Egyptian Rat Screw was by and large more common.
