Frequently asked questions

What age are magic sets for?

Most beginner kits are labelled 6+ or 8+, and the more advanced Marvin's Magic and Magic Makers sets suit older children, teens and adults. The age is on each listing.

Do the kits explain how to do the tricks?

Yes. Boxed sets come with an instruction booklet, and many also include online video tutorials that show each trick being performed and explained.

Which trick is easiest to start with?

Card tricks with a special trick deck and simple coin vanishes are good first tricks, as the props do much of the work. Invisible thread and sleight-of-hand tricks take more practice.
