Marvin's Magic Fifty Greatest Card Tricks Set - Kids & Adults Age 8+ | Magic Card Tricks Set, Easy To Learn Illusions, Includes Instruction Guide, For Kids And Adults

My 11 year old son loves to do card tricks and he really enjoyed using these cards! The instructions are clear and simple enough for him to master and keep him interested in learning more tricks. I have been really impressed with the complexity of the tricks and how much fun they are to watch!

I am new to Magic at 63 and chose this as a new hobby remembering Muhammad Ali doing the same in his later years and These are perfect for me as they are simple to do but will also Awww people in a professional way with LOTS OF QUALITY TRICKS for the price.. Can't Go Wrong with this set and Can't wait to perform for my Grand Kids.

A couple tricks are easy and enjoyable. Others are terribly explained but can always go to YouTube and watch people do it. The cards could be better quality but can see them lasting long enough to get quite a few uses out if them if you are easy on them.

My 8 year old Grandson loves his Magic Card Tricks! He has spent hours practicing. Really a great gift!

Not for kids. My son is quick at picking things up and does all sorts of engineering kits by himself and he found this set difficult and got frustrated quickly.

My 8 year old daughter loves this set so much she literally sleeps in bed with it. The tricks are great and keeps her busy =)

Magic show prize.

Great quarantine gift!

To complicated

We ordered this item on line from the UK for delivery to grandson in Australia. Great Disappointment as the instructions for magic tricks had been badly translated into English from what was probably the original Chinese. Totally unsuitable for target age group recommended and the intelligent 40 year old father had difficulty understanding the instructions as well.

This was a b'day gift for a kid of one of my closest friend. The kid has been very happy after learning the tricks. Good product for gifts.

It's ok, it some of the tricks as described in the book are very amateur and anyone over 10 years old can quite easily see the trick and. It be fooled.

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.
