This magic kit is seriously impressive! I bought this for my 11-year-old daughter for Christmas and she loves it. More importantly, she plays with it all the time. First of all, the packaging is awesome - it comes in a sleek gift set tin that looks like something straight out of a magician's prop chest.But the real magic is in the tricks themselves. The kit includes fifty different tricks, ranging from classic card and coin tricks to mind reading and levitation. And let me tell you, they are all amazing. I've tried out a bunch of them myself, and even as an adult, I was completely blown away.But what's really great about this kit is that it's designed for kids. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the tricks are perfectly tailored to capture a child's imagination. I can see this being a fantastic gift for any child who loves magic, or even just for a family to have some fun together.Overall, I would definitely recommend Marvin's Magic - Fifty Amazing Magic Tricks. It's a high-quality kit that's sure to provide hours of entertainment for anyone who loves magic, and it's especially great for kids who are just starting to get interested in this fascinating art form. https://amzn.to/3Yo55U3

There are TWO offerings available: one contains the gaffed cards ONLY – together with the secret instructions to perform ‘single-time’ tricks – the other – presented in a ‘presentation tin; – contains the special cards AND five fabulous ‘packet tricks’ that can be surreptitiously inserted into the pack to present some wonderful truly baffling effects.The ‘presentation tin’ version is the one to go for.About the deck.Most gaffed decks such as the ‘Svengali’ deck are predominantly ‘one trick pony’ decks that offer very little scope for variety or real-time ‘follow-through’. The principle used in this deck facilitates the presentation of many classic effects without acquiring any contouring skill whatsoever!There is a downside however: unlike ‘card conjurors’ who perform intimate baffling ‘close-up’ ‘sets’ on a small table, most unskilled ‘street magicians’ tend to perform slick ‘in the hand’ ‘tricks’ without any ‘follow-through’ other than variations on the same ‘is that your card’ theme – which is both pointless, ‘cheesy’, and boring.The whole ‘drive’ behind any form of ‘magic’ is to entertain and baffle. With a little judicious thought, and application of the fabulous ‘packet tricks’, the performer can ‘structure’ a sequence of presentations that present variety; entertainment; wonderment; mystery; and intrigue in equal measure from the many effects described in the kit.To give a flavour, one might begin by shuffling and cutting the cards and then naming a card at a number specified by the participant followed by mixing ‘packets’ of face-up and face-down cards into each other then spreading them out to show that despite all of the mixing, all cards are face down – except for a suit selected by the participant – which is face-up and in sequence order. This might be followed by a ‘four of a kind’ reveal and then a ‘packet trick’ with a ‘kicker’ ending to close – with another ‘packet trick’ on ‘standby’ as an encore. The possibilities are down to being imaginative in ones approach to card magic.And if this fabulous kit inspires you to properly get to grips with card magic and acquire ‘life skills’ then search Amazon for ‘The royal road to card magic’ DVDs (not the book) supplemented with the cards and ‘packet tricks’ in this kit – and get SERIOUS!Now go on YouTube and watch Rene Levant perform ‘It can’t be done slower’.Happy entertaining.

The product title says 50 Magic tricks but it's not really true. Basically the objects in the box are few and most of the tricks are alternative versions of the same games with just little differences.Some games are really nice and I could see the stunning faces of adults and children around me when I did a little magic show for them. That was really funny experience. Specially the game with traditional bundle of cards and the cards with only numbers, very impressive!!You need a bit of training by yourself to get confidence with this tricks but later on you get satisfaction to impress your friends.Some other games in the box are a bit silly in my opinion and not really interesting.However, the product is very cheap and considering the positive effects on my friends around I can say it was a good purchasing!!

This is the second in the series we have bought for our grandson and he loves it, so do we seeing him astonishing his peers with his skill - he is 9 years old especially his 13 yr old brother !

It was ok but not worth the money

My grandson loved this box of card tricks - he has already learnt 6 or 7 and performed them in front of us all and we were very impressed.

It’s really good for small children who want to learn magic. I’m only 8 years old and it’s still easy, good fun and good quality.

It is a birthday present so not opened, but it seems a little expensive for what it potentially is, a pack of cards and a small book and a couple of other small packets.
