Card Illusions for Beginner to Professional Wizards - Appearing, Teleporting, Transforming Miracles (Blue Svengali Deck)

Magic is the current craze for my niece (age 10). Instructions are well written but the best part is the QR code to the teaching videos. There is a video for beginners and a video with multiple trick suggestions.After a few practice rounds of the beginner video, her clever ways astonished the audience (her parents)!The deck was well worth the number of illusions to perform.

My grandson going through loving to do magic tricks.He loved the card tricks but didn’t keep his interest as well as other tricks.Still using in his magic shows most of time.He is 10 and was easy for him to learn tricks well.

Excellent service and delivery!

As advertised. Good quality

I must admit that magic tricks are something I have always appreciated. Having the opportunity to try it out myself was definitely the highlight of my week! It felt easy to follow and I enjoyed getting to show my new skill to my friends.

I've been a professional magician for decades now, and though this is a well-known beginner's trick deck of cards, it's well worth revisiting the classics, even for those of us who've been at it for a while. As a matter of fact, though most people who buy one of these decks often get instructions to one or two tricks to do with it, there are actually many things one can do with this deck of cards. Off the top of my head, with no further preparation than acquiring one of these decks, I could probably perform 90 minutes of close-up magic (not that I'd recommend it). So let's talk about it, but with the caveat that I'm not going to reveal the mechanics of the deck or any of the tricks you can do with the deck here in this review.Let's begin with the quality of instructions included with this trick (since I assume many people buying it are not experienced professionals). When you open it up, the first thing you'll find is a one-page written guide that tells you the basics of how the deck works. That's not really enough to get you started. However, it contains a link to a couple of videos that WILL be enough to get you started. Do they teach the finest tricks possible with such a deck? Far from it. But they do give you enough to get you going with a couple basic tricks and even a couple more advanced ones, so I think they're a good start. Serious students of magic can then find the necessary resources to graduate to other ideas later on.But I think what we really want to know about is the deck of cards themselves. The first thing I'll say is that I was impressed to find these are not some cheap knock-off decks of cards (as far too many of these decks are). They're made out of Bicycle brand playing cards, which are what most professional magicians use and trust for their quality. So you're getting good cards here. The way the cards have been "doctored" (since I don't want to say exactly how they've been prepared) is well-done. Personally I'd prefer a subtler touch, but I think the way they're done here is probably better for beginners, and subtle enough that I think most people will get away with it most of the time.I did find it a little strange that the deck was sent in "separated" form (if you know the deck, you'll know what I mean), so I had to spend a couple minutes getting everything in the right order. I've never seen one come that way out of the box before, and it seems a bit lazy on the part of the manufacturer, but no real harm done. One other thing that I found is that there's a label stuck to my card box indicating the value of the relevant card in my deck. Personally, I would prefer if they hadn't done that because now I need to either find a way to remove that sticker or move the deck into a different box. Again, not a big deal to do either of those things, but a minor flaw in the packaging.At the end of the day, though, I got a much higher-quality deck of cards than I was expecting, and I'm certainly happy to recommend this version to any budding magicians out there. Just don't expect to be able to work miracles the minute you open it up. The deck will do a lot of the work for you, but it still takes practice to make it look right.

The deck was well packaged and arrived very quickly in mint condition.
