Magic sets aren’t just for kids, but choosing one for your magic-enthused adult friends can be a challenge if you’re not sure exactly what you’re looking for. How embarrassing would it be to get your pal a gift only to realize after they’ve opened it that it’s totally not age-appropriate? We’re pleased to tell you, magic sets for adults, do exist, and they’re pretty amazing if we may say so ourselves.

What about if you yourself want to dabble in the fun?

Since most magic sets on the shelves of your local hobby shop are designed to encourage kids to get involved with the practice, they generally only require a rudimentary understanding of what magic is, and therefore, are not going to amaze and wow anyone older than an adolescent. That can be discouraging to even the most patient of learners since if you’re not challenging your own mind, you’re likely to get bored and fall off the magic bandwagon. That’s why doing ample research is imperative if your aim is to encourage your friends with aspirations of becoming the next Criss Angel or David Blaine, or to get yourself off on the right foot.

To help with the struggle, we’ve compiled a list of magic sets for adults that are currently available and just waiting for the next Houdini to get their hands on them.
