Review on ๐ŸŽฉ Unleash Your Child's Inner Magician with Prextex Kiddie Magician Costume & Tricks: A Spellbinding Experience! by Michael Heidelberg

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Read this review first: DVD WILL WORK

The magic set was the number one thing my daughter asked for for her birthday. The hat, cape and gloves fit well for a 7 year old with little room to grow. The wand is durable and looks like the real thing. The plush bunny is adorable. All other components look like a real magician. We put the DVD in and got an error message saying it wouldn't play. That's when I checked the reviews and realized that a lot of people had the same disappointment. Luckily my husband thought of trying it on his computer and VOILA - it works! The DVD is specially formatted for viewing on a computer. So you can't watch it on a traditional DVD player connected to your TV, but it works fine on your computer. The only disappointment my daughter experienced was the realization that magic is purely manual work, not magic! But we will all learn that one day! ;) Luckily the instructions are excellent. It will take her a while to figure out some of the more advanced tricks (e.g. playing cards), but there are a few she can pick up right away (coin trick, coloring book, disappearing silk fabric). My older kids aged 9-13 could easily master the tricks - and they want to! But a 7-year-old will learn them over time. I would absolutely recommend this.

Pros
  • good thing
