Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves playing card magic tricks, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can further enhance his interest and skills in this hobby. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Customized Deck of Cards: Consider gifting him a deck of cards that reflects his personality and style. There are many websites where you can create custom-designed playing cards with unique patterns, colors, and images. Personalizing a deck with his name, favorite colors, or a custom design related to magic tricks will make it a truly special gift.

2. Magic Trick Set: Look for a magic trick set specifically tailored for card enthusiasts. These sets often include various decks of special cards, instructional books, and DVDs that teach different card tricks and techniques. This gift will not only enhance his collection but also provide him with new tricks to explore and master.

3. Card Trick Tutorial Books: There are countless books available that focus on teaching card tricks and techniques. Look for books that cater specifically to beginners, intermediate, or advanced card magicians, depending on his skill level. Consider famous titles like "The Royal Road to Card Magic" by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braué or "Expert Card Technique" by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braué. Such books can be valuable resources for him to expand his knowledge and repertoire.

4. Close-up Performance Mat: A close-up performance mat, also known as a close-up pad, is a perfect gift for your son. These mats provide a dedicated surface for practicing and performing tricks. Look for one designed for card tricks with a non-slip rubber base and a smooth surface that will allow cards to glide effortlessly. He can use this mat to practice his techniques while adding an aesthetic touch to his performances.

5. Online Course or Membership: Consider gifting him access to an online magic course or membership site that offers an extensive range of magic tutorials specifically for card tricks. Websites like Theory11, Penguin Magic, or Ellusionist offer courses taught by professional magicians. Such platforms provide an incredible opportunity for him to learn from experts and further refine his card magic skills.

6. Performance Accessories: Enhance his performance by gifting him accessories such as a stylish card clip or a customized card case. These accessories not only protect and preserve his cards but also add flair to his performances. Look for elegant designs or consider personalized options to make the gift more special.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that aligns with your son's passion for card magic and helps him explore and excel in his hobby. Choose a gift that reflects his personal style and allows him to continue growing in his love for magic tricks.

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.”
