Just give me a deck of cards or a few coins. That's great for an adult but most kids want a Magic Kit with cool stuff. At least I did. Iven Haha you're completely right I didn't even think about it in that context Colors are Foreva. Numbers are Infinite. 4 every number there's a color. HEY! Eternity! Lets smoke a beer and drink some loud. But wait! I heard you was a six a plus a 6 ahhhh.

I do remember there being a demonstrator in the lower level of the huge Toys R Us in Times Square but you didn't have to pay anything to watch. I watched him for a bit and during a slow time, I was playing with a deck I'd brought with me and he said; "Hey! Are you my relief?"

I've never actually watched the VHS so I don't even know if it still works. "The fool is one who doesn't know what you have just found out." ~Will Rogers

Joe Piseski New user Tampa, FL 18 Posts	Posted: Oct 17, 2015 04:42 pm 0 Scored a brand new Melissa and Doug Deluxe Magic Set today at a garage sale for the princely sum of $2.00. Got it home, and I've been playing with it like an 8 year old. Great set of all wooden props. A couple of neat items that I might actually put in my show -- bargain!

I think this set was put out by Marshall Brodeen and was pretty much identical to the Siegfried and Roy magic set. Still doesn't hold a candle to the old Mysto Magic Sets with their metal and wood props. Is it one of these? https://www.google.com/search?q=Lance+Bu......agic+kit "...and if you're too afraid of goin' astray, you won't go anywhere." - Granny Weatherwax
lynnef Inner circle 1407 Posts	Posted: Oct 19, 2015 12:49 am 0 Very funny thread here. Love it. Nowadays, Dollar Tree is selling "magic kits". They actually sell a TT with a 'silk' that is one inch square! Naturally, I bought it, hahaha. Now the challenge!! I heard that TT's of the past were not so realistic; and believe me the dollar store variety is not convincing either. But can you get away with it??? Especially if it's designed for a child's hand??

Lynn Back when TT's were made out of metal, one magician used to challenge himself by using a TT with all the paint sanded off. So, yes, you could probably get away with it.
