Kids-Magic-Kits, all about magic tricks and kits for kids!

I’m very excited to offer two new instructional magic trick DVD’s!  They are called Easy Magic Tricks You Can Do and Rubber Band Magic and they are both starring my good friend Greg Moreland.  Greg is a magician the performs on cruise ships around the world, and does a fantastic job teaching the magic tricks on the DVD’s!

These magic trick DVD’s are recommend for kids ages 9 and up (and adults too!), however I recommend kids get the Amazing Magic Kit first for a good solid introduction to magic.

This is just a quick heads up to let you know that 2/15/10 is President’s Day and a National Holiday, so no magic kits will ship out that day.  If your kid’s Amazing Magic Kit would normally ship out on 2/15/10, it will ship out the following day Tuesday 2/16.

I love getting emails from people that have gotten their kids the Amazing Magic Kit.  Here’s a couple that came in recently:

“Buy it!  …the DVD is worth it, to see other children instructing and well-spoken, as well as excited to be displaying talents.”  Pamela Anderson

“Loved it.  My 8 year old granddaughter thought it was great and since receiving it, hasn’t stopped playing with it.  A good old fashion children’s toy.  Oh yeah, her dad’s enjoying it too ” Lynn Kaye

Have a great day!

I know it seems pretty late to be doing a FAQ about Christmas delivery of an Amazing Magic Kit.  Today in 12/22 and yesterday I got a ton of phone calls and emails from people asking if they ordered a magic kit would it arrive by Christmas.

The short answer is NO.

The slightly longer answer is probably not…unless there’s some sort of Christmas miracle and the post office ships the magic kit faster than when it has non-holiday mail volumes.

I did have a couple people ask me about shipping via Express Mail.  I tell them it’s not a good option because the USPS has changed their next day guarantee to be two days instead of one for packages shipped this week!

With that change in mind, I personally wouldn’t use express mail this week and I’m advising customers not to use it either!

Merry Christmas!

So you might be wondering how you can get the most out of your magic kit once you’ve given it to your kid.

The first thing they need to do is watch the DVD that came with the Amazing Magic Kit to pick a few tricks that they’d like to learn first.  Limiting it to two or three tricks at the beginning is  a good idea.  You don’t want your kid overwhelmed with trying to learn all the tricks at once.

Next encourage them to practice the magic tricks that they’ve selected to learn.  A good general rule when learning magic tricks is to practice them to where they can do them 10 times in a row without messing up or forgetting how the trick works.

Now that your kid has practiced a couple of the magic tricks from the Amazing Magic Kit, they need to show them to someone (that’ll probably be you).  When your kid shows you a trick that they’ve been practicing, you should be a nice and encouraging audience.  I’ve seen parents after some of my magic workshops be horrible audiences…telling the kids how bad of a magician they are.  You don’t expect your kid to be able to play the piano after a few hours of practice and you shouldn’t expect them to be a master magician after a few hours.  Giving constructive advice is OK.

As of noon yesterday the Guaranteed Christmas Delivery for the Amazing Magic Kit has ended.  If you order a magic kit today or early monday it still may make it there by Christmas, but I don’t guarantee that…and in fact if you need a magic kit by Christmas I’d advise against ordering online.

I had a great holiday shipping season, and I want to thank everyone that ordered an Amazing Magic Kit this Christmas!

Today I changed the bonus trick that comes with the Amazing Magic Kit. You used to get the Ballvase Magic trick, but I’m down to a couple dozen of them and I’m not expecting any more before Christmas.  As of today you get the Classic Rope Trick as the free bonus magic trick with your Amazing Magic Kit order.

The Classic Rope Trick is a great magic kit for kids, it’s easy to do and it’s an amazing magic trick!

I’ve had several people ask me, “If I order a magic kit will it arrive by Christmas?”  The answer is that is should if the delivery address is in the USA, outside the USA transit times vary soo much I don’t know if it will or not.

When you place your order by 6am (pacific time) on 12/19/09, you get guaranteed Christmas delivery! If your kids magic kit doesn’t arrive by Christmas I will refund 100% of the shipping and handling costs.

How can I guarantee delivery?  I put my faith in the USPS and my cut off date is two days sooner than their cut off date, so I figure if your magic kit gets delayed, we’ve to two extra days!

Merry Christmas!

Yesterday I added two new magic tricks to my online store.  Both are magic card tricks, the Eureka Deck and the Svengali Deck.

Both of these card tricks are easy enough for kids to do…however to use these magic cards your kids must be able to shuffle a deck of cards.  If they can’t shuffle a pack of cards fairly easily they will have a hard time using either magic deck of cards.

These magic cards tricks are recommended for kids ages 9 and up.   They also make a great easy card trick for adults!
