Marvin's Magic Fifty Ways to Cheat at

The tin contains a book of words enough gaffed props to make your own luck. It's good quality, and just the loaded dice alone would be hard to come by at this price. If you're planning to use it as part of a get-rich-quick scheme you'll probably end up in a prison cell or beaten to a pulp (or both), but I bought it as a gift for a friend and it served the purpose very well.It's an adult or a late teenager thing, incidentally. I wouldn't call it a toy - it's some magic props and an interesting book. I wasn't sure how to rate it's educational value, but if having it prevents you from falling prey to a flim flam artist then it may well be an education.

I bought this magic/ gambling set because it was cheap and I have purchased Marvin's magic sets before, all of which have been very good.The postage came late, however it was packaged well.Overall the set is nicely presented, perfect for a present. Inside there are a few tricks, however most of these trick are merely brain teasers/ riddles or puzzles with matchsticks. Having said that, there is a pack of marked cards, which are very discretely done, meaning you have to practice a lot to read them straight away. In addition, there are two sets of dice, two of which are completely ordinary and the others comprise of disproportionate numbers. Personally, my favourite trick in this set is a variation of the Great British coin trick, which is brilliant if you practice it. As this set is fairly complex I would recommend is for people ages 12 and up. I would recommend buying this set as it is well presented and offer some good tricks, however only if is is less than £5.(Thank you for reading)

Nice enough but the “loaded” dice is what I wanted, but they are not really loaded. Instead they simply repeat the same faces (2 and 6) and 5 to show 7/11 every time.

This is a really fun and excellent value product. There is a wide variety of difficulty with the tricks, so there is something for all levels. I learnt 6 really good tricks within 30 minutes, so you will get out what you are prepared to put in.

For the price of £5 I cannot complain! Perfect set! Thank You!
