Marvins Magic Freaky Body Illusions

I am a professional magician, and I bought this for my son. Magic is always expensive - you pay for the idea more than the construction. For the price, this is a incredible deal! The quality is very good. The magic is all fun, and I swiped some for my own act. The DVD shows how to do everything (except acting)that is in the promo, and you receive almost everything. The DVD alone could sell to magicians for $20-$30. I have seen a lot of magic kits, and this one has the best bang for your buck that I have seen. The few things you don't get in the kit are very common household items - shoes, towel, wooden spoon. To get full use of this kit, I believe the child should be at least 8 (although 18 y/os will like it too!). Younger than 8, it can still be fun, but it they will need help. Some assembly is required, and I recommend a parent do it, but it is not hard. I purchased this here on Amazon, and while not the cheapest, it got here very quickly.

My 8 year old son wanted this very badly last year, but it was hard to find. I saw it on Amazon this year and got it for him for his birthday. There are some good illusions in it. The fake arm is the best. But for the merchandise/props that were included, I think it was overpriced. The box that comes with it is kind of flimsy and falls apart a lot. My son wanted it very badly so I guess finding it for him was worth it, but the value just wasn't there.

I highly recommend this product! I bought this for my son because he wanted to be an illusionist for Halloween. He was beyond thrilled! The freaky hand gave everyone the creeps and a good laugh. My son feels like he's the next David Blaine. People are just amazed at how realistic the illusion is! Plus, the dvd and other components are just a bonus. They're professional tricks, but easy for my son to quickly master. We recently had a "Colt's Game Party" at our house and he was the halftime entertainment. Good times!!!

The video that comes with the kit is great. (If you wondering how Criss Angel does the levitating trick, this will reveal his secret). Within an hour of opening the box my stepson was able to some of the illusions. Even on the basic beginner level, they were pretty convincing. I've seen him come home with some cheesy sets, but this one has been the best by far and I recommend it to others wanting to learn to do illusions.

Hi!!! I think that the Marvin's Magic Body Illusions is an awesome kit!!! My eight and twelve year old boys love playing with it, plus it also comes with a dvd to show you how to perform the tricks!!! That's pretty neat!!! I would strongly recommend buying it!!! Kind Regards, Jill Flaten
