Editorial Review

Cadaco has something cool up its sleeve. This nifty set furnishes young magicians with a bag of 10 tricks, including the Crystal Box Illusion, the Block through the Wand, and the Stuffed Animal from the Hat. The how-to booklet provides clear and detailed instructions on these deceptions and other tricks with cards, balls, boxes and tubes. Kids will love being in on the secrets behind these illusions, and they probably won't want to share the mysteries with either siblings or friends. Carrying the tricks off seamlessly will take lots of practice, but this set should get kids off to a good start in understanding and performing magic acts. Pieces are made of cardboard or plastic. Some elements needed for the tricks (candy, a stuffed animal) are not included. --Wendy Slotboom

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners, July 7, 2000

This review is from: My First Magic Hat (Toy)

This is a great little starter set for anyone who wants to get started in Magic. This set has a variety of tricks to keep both you and your audience on their toe. Some of the tricks can be performed with just a little practice. But there are some that you need to work with for a while before you present them to your audience.

This set includes: Trading Places; a Card trick, Square Circle, Crystal Box Illusion, X-Ray Color Vision Box, Stuffed Animal from Hat, Candy from Empty Hat, Monte Rabbit Cards, Block Through Wand, Color Changing Balls, Wand from Tube, and Wonder Balls.

All Props are plastic or cardboard. The only drawback is that the cardboard items will wear out quicker with a lot of use. Over all this is a Wonderful way to get your introduction to Fun World of Magic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trash it!, January 28, 2001

This review is from: My First Magic Hat (Toy)

This item stinks! One of the hat tricks doesn't work right and most of the other tricks are so lame that both my four year old and six year old think it's stupid. There is always one Christmas toy that makes its way to the trash...and this is the one. Even if they used it I'm sure it would make it's way to the trash as the hat insert and some of the cardboard props dent and rip very easily.

This review is from: My First Magic Hat (Toy)

I guess I forgot that in today's society children tend to think of fighting instead of the wonders of magic.
I bought this for my 5 year old grandson. The first thing he did was put on the hat and grab the wand and start charging with his sword ... eeks ... I had to remind him that Harry Potter would never use his wand as a sword ... that it is only to be used for magic. I would have said David Copperfield to him but he would have said ... Who ??
I'm sure it won't last long as it is a bunch of cardboard. What do you expect from a 5 year old. Butttttttttt... It gave some quality time between father and son as he had to spend time with him to figure out the tricks. So what if the toy doesn't last forever, the memory of daddy doing magic tricks with him will.
