Melissa & Doug Deluxe Solid-Wood Magic Set

Magic sets offer a sense of wonder and mystery that can captivate children’s imaginations. The ability to perform tricks and illusions can make them feel powerful and confident. They are also fun and engaging way for children to learn and develop new skills. And what kid doens’t want to wow their family and friends. While several magic sets are on the market, the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magic Set is a little bit different.

Many kits can look appealing but feel cheap. However, the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magic Set stands out from the rest of the kits on the market. Unlike other kits, the tricks in this set are not made from cheap materials like paper and plastic. Instead, they are crafted from wood, which provides sturdiness and durability for the tricks. Also, a couple of tricks in this kit are unique. Although some of the tricks may be easily figured out by those with critical thinking skills, the toys are meant to build such skills, making them a valuable tool for children.

One standout item in the kit is the change bag, which is smaller than a professional change bag but still introduces children to a fundamental tool in the magician’s repertoire. Once a child understands the secret of the change bag, their imagination can run wild with the endless possibilities it presents.

The kit includes a pamphlet with approximately five pages of instructions, and each trick is described with a brief overview and detailed instructions, accompanied by line drawings.

Bottom line

The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magic Set is a good gift for a kid. Though in the ‘5-7’ age range on this site, it’s really more for the seven-year-old than the five-year-old. Abracadabra!
