Melissa & Doug Magic in a Snap! Abracadabra Collection Magic Tricks Set (10 pcs)

Bought as a gift for my niece (age 6) and she loved it. Well-made and easy for kids to get the hang of.

This is an awesome set for beginner magicians. It includes a great variety of tricks that are easy for kids to learn and perform. As expected from Melissa & Doug, the quality is excellent, and the tricks have held up well through lots of use. This set is really fun and a fantastic product for any aspiring young magician!

Our 2nd grade grandson got a kick out of learning the magic tricks so much so that the took a couple to school to demonstrate. The gift pays off if an adult takes the time to work with the child in learning the tricks.

I was so nervous to order my 4 year old a magic kit but even after we talked about illusions (vs magic) he was set on it. Melissa and Doig toys will beat out the cheap “get 47 items for $10” junk any time. They nailed it on this with illusions that are exciting for him and high enough quality and easy enough to manage and remember that he feels successful. Honestly, I was impressed they pulled it off this well. My six year old also has fun with it but I can see how older than six might feel it’s too young for them.

My grandkids love it. Took them to a majic show 3 weeks later, now all they want is to learn more majic.

My family was having a magic show and we needed magic tricks for my kids to perform. A few of the tricks in here are only optical illusions and they don't really work to perform. However, there were a few good performance tricks in this box. The quality of about half of the tricks is fantastic. But the other half are really cheap and will not hold up. Usually this brand produces good quality things, but half of these are not the quality I expected with the brand. One or two of the tricks were easy enough for my 2 year old to do with some help. Most of them are really meant for 6+, even though it says 4+. Most 4 year olds probably couldn't do them by themselves.

I do amateur magic for friends and family and my grandson was interested in being able to do tricks. I have purchased him three children's kits and the quality of the mterials are better in this kit by far. There is a simple optical illusion trick with rabbits. It is easy for a very young child to do without any skills but should be very obvious to an adult. The cardboard is heavy but can still be easily bent. I had to worrk with my grandson for the hand motion to "stretch" the card. The color changing hankies was wasy to change and conceal the gimmick in his smaller hands. The change to the large card makes a sound when the gimmick changes which I am working to eliminate but at a distance and talking during the change will conceal the sound. The disappearing box was difficult for him because his hands were too small but it worked fine for me. The only bad trick was the magic wand trick. It was cheaper and difficult for him to do because there are no stops and the white caps would pull off in his hands. Overall a good buy for a budding magician. Note: none of the props are examinable by an audience member because they can figure out the trick.

My kids were gifted a different magic set with very complicated tricks. They quickly became disinterested and discouraged. This Melissa and Doug set is very straightforward and the tricks are easy to pull off. My kids were 5-9 when they were given this and they all enjoyed it!

Excellent well made simple instructions

A mi pequeña de 4 años le encantó !!! Como todo lo de esta marca 5 de 5, muy fácil de explicarles a los peques como se hacen los trucos, solo un detalle, tiene piezas de cartón duro que si se mojan o doblan se van arruinando, pero de ahí en fuera súper genial.

It was a gift for a four year old and it was an absolute hit! The “magic tricks” are actually intelligent.

Es un gran juego de magia, a los niños les encanta. Los productos están hechos con una factura excelente. No obstante, aunque los materiales se ven resistentes. Algunas piezas son de cartón, por lo que podrían dañarse pronto. Sin embargo, por el precio me parece un excelente producto, muy divertido y bonito.

I want to give this a more thorough review but my son lost interest in these activities in about five seconds. He is seven and loves everything to do with cars so we are trying to expand his mind. I thought he would like this more, he seemed to like it but wanted one of us to be his "assistant" every time and I was really hoping this would be something he would like to figure out himself and present to us. Oh well. Otherwise the toys seem sturdy enough, we will keep everything around for our next kid.
