Questions

Do I need sleight of hand?

No. Everything on this page works by itself or with a special prop. Sleight of hand comes later, if you want it.

How long does it take to learn a trick?

Most first tricks take an evening. A kit has enough for weeks.

Is it OK for kids?

Every kit shows an age. Unless it says otherwise, kits are for ages 6 and up. TrickStarters by Zach King are made for younger magicians.

How are tricks taught?

By video. Lessons stream on any phone, or come in the box.
