Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys learning magic tricks and illusions, there are several gift ideas that would not only enhance his skills but also provide him with hours of entertainment. Here are some meaningful and personal Christmas gift suggestions:

1. Magic Kit: Consider purchasing a comprehensive magic kit that includes a variety of props, accessories, and instructional materials. Look for one suitable for his skill level and age. This gift will allow him to learn new tricks and expand his repertoire.

2. Books on Magic: Books are an invaluable resource for learning magic. There are many classic books written by renowned magicians that provide in-depth explanations and techniques. Look for titles like "The Royal Road to Card Magic" by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue, or "Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic." Choose books that match his interests and skill level.

3. Online Magic Courses: Online platforms such as Udemy, MasterClass, or Penguin Magic offer courses taught by professional magicians. Enroll him in a course tailored to his preferences, whether it's close-up magic, card tricks, or stage illusions. This gift will allow him to learn from experts and refine his techniques.

4. Magic Props: Consider gifting him with specific props that he may not already have in his collection. For example, a set of quality playing cards, a deck switcher, or a thumb tip. You can also consider purchasing specialty props based on his specific interests, such as coin magic or mentalism.

5. Tickets to a Magic Show or Convention: Treat your son to a live magic performance by purchasing tickets to a magic show or convention. Watching professional magicians perform their tricks live can be inspiring and educational. Additionally, he may have the opportunity to meet and interact with other magicians, which can further fuel his passion for magic.

6. Customized Magic Gear: To add a personal touch, consider getting him customized magic gear. This could include a custom-made magician's cape, a personalized magic wand, or even a magician's table with his name engraved on it. These personalized items will make him feel special and encourage his dedication to magic.

7. Practice Space or Magic Set-up: Dedicate an area in your home specifically for him to practice and perform his magic tricks. This could be a small corner with a table, shelves for storing his props, and a mirror for rehearsing. Creating a dedicated space will showcase your support for his hobby and provide him with a sense of ownership.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is showing that you understand and support his passions. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests in magic, you are not only providing him with materials to enhance his skills but also valuing his hobbies and encouraging his growth and development.

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.”
