Five Star Gift Ideas

Finding a meaningful gift for your son who loves magic can be an enchanting experience itself! Here’s a curated list of ideas to help fan the flames of his magical passion and nurture his budding skills as an illusionist.

1. **Professional Magic Kit**: If he’s been practicing with beginner kits, consider upgrading him to a professional magic set. These kits include advanced tricks and props such as card decks designed for sleight-of-hand, coin trick tools, and illusion props that can significantly enhance his repertoire.

2. **Magic Books**: Classic and contemporary magic books can be fantastic resources. Books such as "The Royal Road to Card Magic" by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue or "Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic" provide insights into the art of magic and detailed instructions that can help him master new illusions and techniques.

3. **Subscription to a Magic Magazine**: Subscriptions to magazines like "Genii" or "Magic Magazine" can provide ongoing learning opportunities, updates on the world of magic, and inspiration from renowned magicians. These magazines often include instructions for new tricks, interviews with prominent magicians, and much more.

4. **Magic Conference Tickets or Virtual Access**: If there’s a magic conference or a virtual magic show happening in the near future, gifting him access can provide invaluable experiences. It’s a chance to see famous magicians perform live, take workshops, and get inspired by the magic community.

5. **Magic Lessons**: Consider arranging private magic lessons with a professional magician. This personal mentorship could greatly enhance his skills and give him the confidence and feedback only a live instructor can provide.

6. **Magician’s Apparel or Accessories**: A personalized item such as a magician’s cape, a custom wand, or a stylish plush top hat can add a touch of flair to his performances and make him feel more like a professional.

7. **Recording Equipment**: Help your son create a magic video series by getting him quality recording equipment. A decent camera, tripod, and simple lighting setup would allow him to document his progress and share his performances online or with family and friends.

8. **Magic-themed Escape Room Game**: These games combine puzzles and magic-themed challenges that would be great for family bonding or for him to enjoy with friends, all within the magical realm he loves.

By thoughtfully selecting gifts that align with his interests in magic, you are not only encouraging his hobbies but also supporting his dreams and creativity. Whatever you choose, it's sure to make his Christmas truly magical.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
