I am an elementary teacher and bought this book to use with my fourth graders. As a source of activities during our explorations of magnets it was invaluable. In addition to the "magic tricks", we had a GREAT time using the magnets to learn about their properties! Many of my students ordered the book to learn more magic tricks on their own. It's a fun, educational book!

The book was great and inspired my kids to learn about magnets. The best part is that the book introduced magic that they could do easily. The book was easy to understand with graphics that attracted kids. The only problem is that the magnets broke easily if dropped. Three of the five doughnut magnets broke within the first day of use.

I purchased this book, actually two of them, for our homeschool to go along with magnets and electricity. After we explored what magnets were and did the tricks in the book, my sons spend most of that day playing with the magnets. They would say "Hey Mom, come see what it can do now!"

I was disappointed and surprised to receive 'Magnetic Magic: Magic Tricks Done with Magnets' in the state that it was in. Despite the claim that the product was "New", the metal cover page was scratched and dented in a number of places, and most importantly there were no magnets included (10 were expected based on the book's description of its contents), making the product completely nonfunctional, unless of course you have the resources and spare time to super heat and shape your own alloys.

This came almost immediately and was in great condition. I gave it as a gift so I don't have a review on the actual product.
