Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for magic tricks and card manipulation, there are several thoughtful and exciting gift ideas to consider this Christmas season. These gifts will not only enhance his skills but also provide him with endless hours of entertainment and learning. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Professional Magic Kit: Help your son elevate his magic tricks to the next level with a professional magic kit. These kits usually include an assortment of props, illusions, and instructional DVDs or books to help him master various magic tricks. Look for a kit that focuses specifically on card magic, as this aligns with his interest.

2. Customized Deck of Cards: Surprise him with a deck of personalized playing cards featuring his name, initials, or a design based on his favorite card trick. Customized decks are widely available online and can be crafted to reflect his unique style and personality. This personal touch will make him feel special whenever he performs tricks using these cards.

3. Magic Lessons or Workshop: Consider enrolling your son in a local magic class or workshop where he can learn from experienced magicians. This opportunity will enable him to refine his technique, learn new tricks, and interact with other magic enthusiasts. If in-person lessons are not feasible, there are online magic courses and tutorials available as well.

4. Book on Card Tricks: Expand your son's knowledge and library with a captivating book on card tricks. Look for renowned titles such as "The Royal Road to Card Magic" by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braué or "Expert Card Technique" by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braué. These books are considered classics in the field and contain a wealth of valuable information for aspiring magicians.

5. Card Manipulation Set: Consider gifting your son a card manipulation set, which typically includes specialized cards designed for sleight of hand techniques. These sets often come with instructional materials and practice routines to help him develop his dexterity and precision. With this gift, he can explore new techniques and refine his card manipulation skills.

6. Magic Convention Pass: Treat your son to an unforgettable experience by surprising him with a pass to a magic convention. Magic conventions bring together magicians from around the world, offering workshops, lectures, performances, and the chance to connect with industry professionals. This gift will allow him to immerse himself in the magic community and gain inspiration from some of the best magicians in the field.

Remember, the best gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and passions. By choosing a gift that supports his love for magic tricks and card manipulation, you are not only encouraging his hobby but also facilitating his growth as a magician.

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.”
