Editorial Review
Abracadabra! Now kids can mystify an audience with Magic Rainbows, Rabbit and Rings, Tricky String, Mystery Tube, Magnetized Wand, and more. My First Magic Set holds 12 fun tricks, complete props and secrets for presenting them, and the carrying case to take the show on the road. All magicians need is the cape and top hat. Actually, the 4-to-8-year-olds for whom this set is intended probably also need adult help in reading the well-written and illustrated, 16-page "Secret Instruction Booklet." Parents and kids get together doing the light assembly necessary (such as separating the perforated sheet of cards, folding cardboard to form the magic box, applying a sticker) to four of the tricks. Then pore over the step-by-step pictures and instructions before the little magician goes off to perfect the sleight of hand. For extra help, every trick's instructions are accompanied by a "Secret" that summarizes and explains the key to the trick. (Example: "The hidden finger hole allows you to secretly reach in and 'untie' the string.") A sure-fire hit--better start sewing that cape and top hat. --Ava Natov

 Awesome Introduction to Magic! May 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My son will be 4 in two months. Lately, he has been asking me to teach him some magic tricks. So, I ordered this kit. It is brilliant! I have had the best time playing with my son learning how to do the tricks. Of course, he has to perfect them but, oh my gosh....we have got to get the video camera out!!!!!! He needs to follow directions (my directions). He needs to explain his trick to his audience (worth a million dollars). He needs to not mess up (this is the funny part because he messes the tricks up, here and there).
This set is DEFINITELY appropriate for the preschool age child. I highly, highly, highly recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!
My four year old loves this magic kit! January 8, 2008
My son started getting into magic trick around 3 yrs old. We didn't buy him this kit until he turned 4 and he loves it. He loves to show his new trick abilities to friends who come buy and all of the family. He thinks it's great and we have fun playing it with him. I only wish that some of the items were made of plastic vs. the cardboard that it is. I think it may get ripped easily. But we'll just have to be careful with it.
 fun for the whole family December 30, 2007
My niece enjoyed this magic set. She was able to figure out a few of the tricks without anyones help. She is 5 years old. Her little sister even enjoyed figuring out new tricks to use the pieces for.
nice first set - not for 4 year olds December 27, 2007
This is a nice first magic set. Most of the tricks work pretty well and aren't complicated to perform. I would recommend this set with 2 caveats:
1st - Despite its rating for ages 4+, I would not recommend this to any child under the age of 6. The materials are made of thin cardboard and are a tad delicate, and just the concept of "performing a magic trick" takes a bit of developmental maturity that would not be typical of any 4 year old that I know. My 7 year old loved this set and in my opinion, was of the correct age to handle this set autonomously.
2nd caveat - The makers are really "pushing it" by saying there are 10 tricks. I would say there are 8 tricks at best - unless you count "blowing on your magic wand to make it roll" a real trick. Plus they count making something disappear, and re-appear as 2 different tricks with the same magic drawer. It's really just 1 trick. In sum, its a nice intro to magic - with 8 (not 10) tricks, for 6 yrs and older.
Simple fun for a child December 21, 2007
Got this for my daughter and she had so much fun learning her magic tricks. We had so much fun WATCHING her. Oh - and any toy that doesn't take batteries, that doesn't make tons of noise, that uses lots of imagination, and that can involve brothers and sisters is a GREAT toy in my book. I'm writing this review a couple of years later to report that we still have the kit (minus some pieces that got lost along the way) and it's been used by my son, too. If we can keep the pieces, my other kids will be able to use it. The items are durable enough (the paper bag isn't but you can replace that with one from your own kitchen) I would recomment this to anyone who has a child with an interest in magic.
