ALEX Toys 0C486 Ideal My First Show Magic Set Vision Kids, Red, 0

Ideal for the 4 years who have an interest in magic simple tricks they can do

Granddaughter (5) loved it although I have not had a demonstration yet

When I opened the box, I did think that it looked like there was very little in there but actually, the video gives you more than one trick with some of the contents.The description says for 4 years plus. I have a bright 4 year old grandchild and we were so excited to do the magic together. The problem is, you have to watch a video of how to do the magic tricks and she found this hard to understand. I had to watch, practice and then try to do it with her but, even with the easy ones, she lacks some of the dexterity to do the tricks as her little hands are small.I think a 6 year old would find this quite good. The tricks are easy but you need to be able to understand what the other person is seeing and this skill may only appear in the third or fourth year of life at the earliest. Although she can do some of the 'theory of mind' tasks, this one was too complex.In addition, unless you have a focussed adult to go through the tricks with the child, they will not be able to do them on their own at all.I have put it away and will re-produce it in a year and see how we get on.

great

Good product with some easily performed tricks. The only down side was that the instructions DVD would not play on my player. Luckily there were written instructions as well.

Brilliant for my sons first magic tricks. Not the highest quality but does the trick.

I have just opened this box with my daughter outside the returns window and there is one piece broken and two pieces missing. It’s a shame as otherwise it’s a good set. She’s very disappointed.

GREAT FOR THE NIPPER

This magician kit is amazing. My 5 year old can do most of the tricks, and she also enjoys playing with it and pretending to do other tricks. Well worth the money!

this was bought for my 9 year old Grandson Oscar who fancies himself as a bit of a magician he loves this kit

I first want to say that I purchased this for my son who was almost 4 at the time, and now he is 4 1/2...Being a professional magician, you can imagine that my curious little one is always wanting to play with mommy's props!I have purchased a TON of children's magic sets (anything that looked half way decent) for him to try and this one has some very unusual tricks that you just don't find in most magic sets- and that really impressed me!2 of my favorites are:The Lollipop TrickThe Block Through WandThese are both professional style tricks so I was pleased to find them in my son's kit!However, please know that the recommended age of 4+ is a little of a stretch... Will he grow into this set? Yes!How many tricks can he perform (successfully) on his own from this set?* The Drawer Box (this is the easiest operation of a drawer box I have ever seen- and the only one that he can operate with his little fingers- so that made me very happy)* The Puzzle (which is simple and cute)* The Boomerangs (which is simple and classic)* The Sliding Picture (which is flimsy, not great)* Vanishing Crayons (which is cute, and combines great with the Drawer Box where you can make the crayons reappear)and he almost has the Ball and Vase down (another classic).The lollipop, block through wand, and color cube are a little too advanced-- but he loves to watch me perform them-- and he loves to try! That is all that really matters anyway, right?BTW, the included instructional DVD is wonderful!I highly recommend this set to any child to introduce the fun of magic and performing-- especially if they are 4+ (just know that they may not be ready for it ALL at 4- but they will be able to do most of it) and if they are 6+ I'm sure they could whiz right through the whole set!I picked up a super cute magician's costume  Deluxe Magician Costume Set, Small  for him and he loves to perform for all of our family and friends- it is the cutest thing!!If you want to add a few more easy tricks to your child's aresenal (for age 4+) so they can perform a show...in addition to this set, I highly recommend: a Change Bag  Blue Velvet Magic Zipper Change Bag with a Mahogany Style Handle  (this is a classic, super easy, and super versatile- just remember to pick up some silk hankys to go inside like the Flag Blendo set-  USA FLAG BLENDO , a Coin Slide  Coin Slide , Color Changing Hanky  Magic Makers Color Changing Hanky  , Rabbit out of the Hat  Kid's Magician Hat w/Rabbit - this is very versatile since they can make all kinds of things appear from the hat, and Magic Coloring Book  Royal Magic Coloring Book - Easy Magic Trick , and my son's ALL-TIME-FAVORITE: Appearing Flower  Melissa & Doug Magic Flowering Pot All of these extras are very inexpensive and will give your child many extra tricks that are TOTALLY age appropriate!For older kids like 7-8+ I highly recommend Fantasma Deluxe Legends Set  Fantasma Toys Super Deluxe Legends of Magic DVD Set  super great stuff in there too!Have fun and don't forget to tell the kidos, "Magicians never reveal their secrets!"

Cute little set for small kids. They really get a kick out of showing off the tricks. Pretty simple to learn for 5 and up

My nephew loved this gift and with so many different tricks to learn, my sister said it kept him busy for hours!
