Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who is a fan of card magic tricks, there are plenty of gift options to consider that will enhance his passion and provide him with new avenues for creativity and exploration. Here are a few ideas to surprise and delight your son this Christmas:

1. Premium Playing Cards: Give your son a deck of high-quality playing cards that are specifically designed for magic tricks. Look for cards with intricate designs, unique finishes, and excellent handling qualities. Brands like Bicycle, Theory11, or Dan and Dave offer a wide range of options to choose from.

2. Magic Tutorial DVDs: Consider gifting him a set of DVDs or online courses featuring renowned card magicians revealing their secrets and teaching various tricks and techniques. This will provide him with an opportunity to expand his repertoire and further develop his skills.

3. Magician's Set: A comprehensive magician's set can be an exciting gift. Look for a set that includes a variety of props like playing cards, coins, and other small objects along with a guidebook, DVD, or online access to step-by-step instructions on performing different tricks.

4. Card Magic Books: Encourage your son to deepen his knowledge and explore the world of card magic through books written by experts in the field. Some popular titles include "Expert Card Technique" by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue, "The Royal Road to Card Magic" by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue, and "Card College" series by Roberto Giobbi. These books will not only inspire him but also help him refine his technique and gain a broader understanding of card magic principles.

5. Customized Deck: Consider getting a deck of playing cards customized specifically for your son. You can have his name or initials printed on the cards, or you can design a deck with his favorite theme or artwork. This personalized touch will make the gift even more special and memorable.

6. Magic Accessories: In addition to cards, there are many accessories that can enhance your son's card magic performances. Consider getting him a card clip to protect his favorite decks, a card mat for smooth handling, or a card shuffler to add a bit of flair to his routines.

7. Tickets to a Magic Show: If your son admires a particular professional magician, consider surprising him with tickets to watch a live magic show. Experiencing the art of illusion in person can be truly magical and inspiring for any budding magician.

Remember, the key to a meaningful gift is to understand your son's specific interests and tailor the gift accordingly. With these card magic-themed gift ideas, you can encourage your son's passion and provide him with the tools to flourish and continue his magical journey.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
