One of the many reasons why we enjoy magic tricks is that they combine fine motor skills training, creativity, imagination, and performance. For shy children, magic tricks can encourage them to take the floor in front of others in their super cool magician outfit. Standing up in front of everyone and performing magic tricks at morning assembly or grandma’s birthday takes courage. But showing off your skills in front of others can really boost your child’s self-esteem, because when it takes place in a safe environment, your child experiences the joy and success of their practice paying off and of making people happy.

Some say you are only an expert after 10,000 hours of practice. But fortunately, you can make do with less. However, concentration and practice at home are important in order to master magic tricks and illusions. In our category of magic sets and magic tools, you'll find tricks that will let your child impress their audience with dexterity and skill after 3-4 tries, as well as tricks that are slightly more challenging for your child's fine motor skills.

Children from around 5 can practise simple tricks, while older children can find more technically demanding magic tricks in our magic category .
