Title: Wish this had been around when I was a kid
Review: I was magic-obsessed as a nine-year-old, but only had dusty Mid-Century-Modernist beginner kits at my disposal, full of cheap plastic tricks that were hokey, outdated and fooled no one; so I was immensely pleased to be able to give this much better-made and more clever beginner kit for Christmas this year to a modern nine-year-old boy, which was an immediate and huge hit this holiday. Difficulty of tricks vary, although an 8- to 10-year-old should be able to do most of them just fine (a few are clearly designed for kids older than that); and although most adults will be able to see through the tricks pretty quickly, I can attest that the magician's twin nine-year-old brother was legitimately impressed with them, with pieces made out of painted wood, real fabric, and an elaborate Victorian-patterned carrying case that doubles as a trick unto itself. Hard to believe this comes at such a reasonable price! Strongly recommended.
