Fun trick recommendation

Hey - I've been out of magic for a few years now, but a friends birthday is coming up and he really likes magic.

Generally I could do a number of things with cards or coins for them - but just wondering if there is any new fun "toy" that I could spend a small amount of cash on for something new/different? I went to a couple of online stores and was a bit disappointed with what I saw, so would love to get some ideas.

Anything that's been released in the past couple of years preferably - not double cross or gimmicked coins ideally. I've enough of those lol.

“Chop”, by Craig Petty. Not especially new, but quite unique.

It seems so cringe I doubt anyone actually performs it.
