The magic kit "Criss Angel Mind Freak Ultimate Magic Kit" teaches more than 550 tricks according to advertising on the Internet.
The "Ultimate Magic" magic kit from Marvin's Magic teaches 400 tricks.
Does anyone know if there are magic kits that teach even more magic tricks?

Why, do you think more is better?

Those numbers are inflated, they include everything mentioned in the manual regardless of how mundane the trick.

Theoretically, you could write a book "600 incredible magic tricks" full of every random gag and card reveal
you can think of, package it with a bite coin and a Sven and you'll have the biggest magic kit ever by the
logic of magic manufacturers.

"Why, do you think more is better?"

I didn't think or say that.

"Those numbers are inflated"

This applies to many, but not all, products. For example, I know a product from Marvin's Magic with a description of over 250 card tricks and the tricks described are often very good. In contrast to some other products, I didn't get the feeling that tricks were only described in order to increase the total number.

Hey Daniel,

I actually found one of the 20-year-old Marvin’s 250 Mind Blowing Card Tricks Kit in a thrift shop a couple of weeks ago. (I bought it for one dollar) It had 8 complete packet tricks, card box, and the book of instructions which included the other card tricks. I think the only thing missing was the full deck of cards. I agree that it is a nice kit.

But to your question and to add a few thoughts: If I remember correct, the very large Royal Magic Kits only had about a dozen ‘props’ in them and that’s about the most you will ever find. The rest is always books or videos. Maybe it's time for somebody to come up with a ’Big Box of Magic Props’ those in the know would fall for that. LOL

To give you a good idea why magic kits sell so well even among experienced magicians: I've been involved in the sports trading card business as well as the magic business for many years now. One of the most intriguing aspects of both these industries is the way in which the customers approach their purchases. Whether they are avid collectors of sports memorabilia or enthusiastic amateur magicians, there is a common thread that binds them – the thrill of the unexpected. In the world of sports trading cards, the excitement comes from the element of surprise. Customers are drawn to the idea of opening a pack of cards, not knowing exactly what they will find inside. Will it be a rare, highly valuable card that will add significant value to their collection? Or will it be a more common, run-of-the-mill card that offers little in terms of rarity or monetary worth? This uncertainty is precisely what fuels the desire to keep opening pack after pack, in the hope of striking gold.

If collectors could see inside the package of trading cards, the odds are good that they wouldn't buy it. Similarly, in the magic business, customers are captivated by the prospect of uncovering that one special trick that will truly astound and impress their friends and family. They eagerly pour over the contents of their magic kits, studying the instructions and practicing the techniques, all the while dreaming of that elusive "Big Trick" that will set them apart as true masters of the art. Now we all know that you’re not going to find a "Big Trick" in a simple magic kit, BUT with there being 200 or 300 tricks in the box then the odds are better of finding that golden surprise.

They’re buying the mystery and the more mysteries the better.

Hi Tom,
interesting!
I also meant this card trick product, my version also contained two trick decks (Svengali Deck and a combination oft he Stripper Deck/Marked Deck). The product is really good and describes many good tricks. On the negative side, however, the German translation of the instruction booklet was created with artificial intelligence and then not checked by a human. Some of the trick descriptions were therefore incomprehensible even to me. This approach (no human control of the translations) is unacceptable. But the quality of the tricks, the choice of tricks and the descriptions in general were very good.

Just about any magic set I got as a kid, and those I later got for my kids, totally inflated the trick count. There are usually props for around 10 tricks, and a booklet that prints up tricks either with cards or everyday items -- usually like 100 tricks or so!
