The Best Magic Tricks Sets For Kids – Reviews and Best Buy

Choosing the best magic tricks for kids can be quite a challenge. You want tricks that are easy to learn, fun to perform and won’t end up forgotten in a corner a few days after they are received. Most of the magic tricks available in high street stores tend to be manufactured by the same companies and repackaged in different sets, but essentially, they are the same small plastic novelty toys in every set.

The alternative is to go online and order tricks from a magic shop. The only problem is that these magic shop websites tend to be geared towards magicians, rather than kids beginning magic, and the choice can be very confusing.

Choosing the best magic tricks for kids

Interestingly, the three magic sets that came out on top were not available in high street shops. They tend to have tricks that teach the core principles of magic and performance, rather than just being a random collection of single use tricks.

The magicians responded that they wanted sets that would teach skills that would be useful for kids as they develop their knowledge of sleight of hand, build confidence, and stage craft.

The sets that received the most votes were the Las Vegas Set and the overall winner: The image 365 Image Set. Both contain scaled down versions of tricks performed by professional magicians. The third place went to a set for younger children, which contains more plastic tricks, but teaches many skills essential for progress later on.
