What Magicians Say

Mark T from Saturn Magic recommends the set as a great value for beginners, stating:

"For 60 odd pounds, you get a really nice Christmas present that you can wrap up there for yourself or a young magician. If you learn even 20% of what's on there, you'll have enough magic to actually be able to go out and perform to people and entertain people."

He highlights its comprehensive nature, noting that it provides more magical knowledge per dollar compared to buying individual tricks. However, he clarifies that experienced magicians may not find it as useful since it’s designed for foundational learning.
