Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magic Set
Customer Review: Beautiful set
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been shopping for a beginner magic set for my son for about six months now, and had trouble finding one that didn't look like a bunch of cheap plastic and paper tricks that wouldn't last a week in our house. Some kits claimed to have 50-100 tricks, but really they were the secrets to the tricks and no real props. We also weren't interested in paying $40 for a DVD and a few dimestore props.
At Christmastime, I gave up. There were some nice kits for older kids/adults, but for beginners it was dismal. Come February (birthday month) I looked again, and gave up. Luckily as I was leaving the last store I planned to visit (at closing time the night before his birthday), I saw the Melissa & Doug set off in a corner.
The box was beautiful! It reminds me of the old Victorian parlor magicians. And I can't say enough about how great it is to be able to buy wooden toys that are durable and will last. And all of the pieces are painted nicely with Egyptian themes and exotica, adding to the 'atmosphere' of the show. Bonus to the fact that my son had just been to the Tomb and was interested in Pharaoh's and hieroglyphs!
I think it's perfect. My 8 year old son loves it and was able to do all of the tricks right after I demonstrated them to him. He did them for the adults, and with the exception of two of the simpler tricks, they were quite impressed and they couldn't figure out how it was done. The two best tricks even caused some actual jaw-dropping! He was overjoyed to be able to see grown-ups astounded, and thought it was hilarious that they couldn't figure out how he did it!
I would suggest the company add a good strong clasp of some sort to hold the box closed when not in use, but that is all I would do to improve on it.
I also loved the format of the instructions, with the aged, burned parchment effect of the paper, and the fact that every trick/prop was illustrated on the bottom of the package so you knew exactly what you were getting, plus you could see most things the way it was packaged.
Another work of art from M&D.
