Marvin's Magic - Fifty Amazing Magic Tricks | Magic Tricks for Kids | Comes in Gift Set Tin | Includes Classic Card and Coin Tricks, Mind Reading, Levitation + More

one deck of cards, then small packets with each trick and how to booklet, nice tin

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!!

My 11 year loves it. Some very good quality and real looking tricks in it. Has brought some good laughs to many of us.

I can't comment on the inside of the box, but it's made of thin tin, and arrived all bashed in and therefore not suitable to be given as a Christmas present. The pack was very small and light, so I would imagine that the contents are not good value for money.

This was a present for my grandson who loved it

Can't say a huge amount about this other than that I bought it for my friends son who has suddenly got into magic and he apparently absolutely loves it!Arrived on time and well packaged. Everything was in the set as described.

Great lift gift. The 9 year old loved it and all the different little packs to go with it. Only issue was the instructions were a little difficult to understand. Tried the website they give which is a great idea to watch videos but couldnt get anything but the instructions up.Found some videos on you tube thou
