Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

I found this site the other day by accident and looked it over. At first it appears legit, and who knows... many of the props may be real as so much stuff is made in china now. The prices look fantastic and I thought I might purchase a few "safe" items like the cut half dollars and some flash paper.

But then I noticed the shipping. It STARTS at $24 to get something shipped to the US. Anything over the first half a kilogrm, and they tack on another $6.50 per half. For just the few items I was looking at with a purchase price of less than thirty bucks, it wold have been $37 to get it shipped. And if you read the fine print, they don't pay import taxes on it, so if it gets stopped in customs (like flash paper or any liquid would), you get to pay those fees yourself or forfeit the item in question.

Long story short, it would actually be cheaper to purchase a leitiate copy of the expensive item you desire than to purchase a fake from here. Usually that's not the case, but this Chinese site oddly seems to be the exception.

52 Magic is a company that manufactures and sells copies (they look legit but are very poor quality) of other creators tricks.

Not only that, you won't receive any instructions with the tricks either.


King Magic is the same.

Both should be avoided and ignored

Be cautious - CHINA MAGIC is now selling illegal copies of some of our famous SvenPad® products.

They are 100% junk, of poor quality - no service or support - made in China.

All of our products are sealed with a silver foil numbered hologram label with our logo on it.

Sad to see these copies continuing to be made with the intent to rip off unwary buyers.

Make certain you are buying from a legit magic dealer.
