Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magic Set
Customer Review: This is a wonderful way to introduce a child to the world of illusions
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been involved in magic as a hobby since I was 11. My first kit was all plastic and some of the tricks were not well thought out and were impractical. Still, it got me hooked. I now use tricks and illusions to illustrate my sales and training seminars. This set is far superior to the one that I received over four decades ago.
One of the things that I like about it is that all of the tricks are made of wood. They are well made and well decorated. Some of the tricks are a little lame but that is just my opinion.
I bought this as a gift for a budding magician (7 years old) and he loved it! Honestly, I would have paid $10-15 more for a set of this quality. Great product and I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Beautiful and fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Like most of Melissa and Doug products, this is well made and very pretty. My 8 year old wanted a magic set really badly for christmas, and this did the job. She's a smart kid and enjoyed trying to follow the instructions to learn how to do the tricks. I had to help with a couple of them, but she loves this set. It isn't perfect, but it is way better than other crap I have seen out there. The biggest problem is that the box doesn't close with a latch or anything and there is a huge hole at the top of it (for performing the tricks) so there isn't any way to keep all its parts together. It's such a weird design choice because it would have been so easy to affix a latch for closing. Whatever though, it isn't a deal breaker.Customer Review: Grandpa's Gift is a Hit
Summary: 4 Stars
My dad gave this magic set to my eight-year-old for Christmas, and she likes it a great deal. Although my five-year-old was not gifted with this, she is often playing with it. I am also having a lot of fun learning the tricks and teaching my girls how to successfully perform them with some flair. They have really enjoyed puzzling family members with these simple illusions. I like how many of the pieces are made of wood, are colorful, and come in a carrying case. The set could be improved if there was a latch and handle on the case. I am also not the biggest fan of some of the pictures, but these are minor criticisms. This was a great gift that I see my girls getting out on occasion to entertain friends.Customer Review: Sturdy and Interesting - Is Your Child in a Magician Phase?
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this for my soon-to-be 8 year old. He enjoyed it for a day. The product is very sturdy and I liked the quality. My son's interest in performing magic comes and goes. Christmas morning was a day he was only mildly interested in magic. We tried all the tricks once but he hasn't gotten it out since - that's not to say that I don't expect him to get it out again in the future. I dind't think the tricks were too incredibly difficult and thanks to the quality he CAN go back to it and play with it again when he wants to. If your child is in a phase when they are really intent on wanting to perform "magic" tricks, this is a great sturdy product that would likely fit the bill.Customer Review: A perfect gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
My six-year old daughter has been completely captivated by this magic set. She's had so much fun putting on shows for family members and hasn't needed too much help in figuring out how to successfully perform the tricks. Even my three year old has enjoyed being part of the act! A very well made set with good instructions. I only wish a lock had been added to the box so that all the pieces could be stored safely inside. We slip ours into a child-sized pillowcase to contain everything. We love the creative performances the magic set has inspired and the fun it has provided for our girls. This is my new favorite birthday gift for this age group!
