Review on 🎩 Optimal Beginner's Magic Kit by Dean Pinheiro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good set overall but probably better for a bigger child

Bought this set for my son's 4th birthday. He loves magic tricks and showing off so this seemed perfect! Many of the tricks in the set appear to be of good quality and the DVD that comes with the set is great for the trick instructions. However, there were a few tracks that didn't impress me; the self inking image was difficult to manipulate (even for me) and tore up immediately. The picture puzzle trick is not that good. Also, my son had a hard time paying attention to learn most of the tricks. The instructions on the DVD are well done, I think it was too much for his concentration. We end up setting up the install so that we'll try again when he's a bit grown up. The exception is the magic box. He understood that straight away and loves to "magic” with it. I wish I could buy a smaller/simpler set or just a magic box (don't really know if they sell them individually). But later we'll see if other tricks work better when he's a bit older, if we can keep all the pieces together until then.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Almost never
