Is this the Worst Magic Trick on Amazon?

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a critical review of the "Shying Magic Rabbit Magic Card Tricks" kit available on Amazon. He concludes that the kit isn't worth the money, especially for aspiring young magicians. The primary issue lies with the extremely poor quality of the included cards, which feel like postcards, clump together, and have rough edges. The instruction booklet is also problematic, featuring small font and lacking illustrations. David strongly recommends a better alternative: purchasing a standard deck of cards, like a Bicycle deck, and a separate beginner's magic book with clear instructions and visuals. He also promotes his own YouTube channel, The Magic Channel Card Tricks, as a valuable resource for learning simple card tricks and receiving instruction on tricks found in magic kits, offering a more positive and rewarding introduction to magic.
