First off i was was given this as a gift and didnt actually spend my own money on it but heres a review anyway.

Cost around 15 pounds in a bulk retail high street store.

Effects include:
magic cocktail stick
trick cards
top secret sachet
fly in icecube

Review: Ok I am completly glad i didnt waste any of my money on this piece of tat. There is seriously not one effect in this can I would use ever. The fly in icecube is terribly made, I've seen more convincing pieces of fluff. The impossibottle gimmick is far to easily noticable even in a dimly lit pub. The "silk" handkerchief is not silk and is of the worst quality ever, you can spit through it. The rest of the book is devoted to match / coin puzzles that my mates 6 year nephew could (and did for most of them) work out. I dont want to say much about the TOP SECRET item apart from unless you have hands the size of the incredible hulk it will be of little use to you what-so-ever(though mindbender gave me an idea of a use for it but not as its meant to be used anyone who has seen the dvd will know what I mean). The cocktail stick comes in handy to stir cocktails too.

In conclusion avoid like the plague.

Wow... did you also smack the one that gave it to you?

I personaly hate most of marvins products as they are for people who want to do magic but not want to put in effort or learn anything.

I really dislike his products too. Not up to standard as far as i am concerned.

ditto

but the guy himself is totally different to the stuff he sells

I have the haunted key.. thats well alright, bought it from toys r us in small pack for a fiver... the rest is in the bin but the key.. thats great

actually if you look arround you can find loads of brands selling magic cheaper than your local dealer

example:

in feniks (brent cross) i found chequer chips for 8pounds.

BARGAIN

I couldnt really smack my aunt I thanked her then left the room pretty scared as to what i was going to find inside and I was right to as well.

Be afraid! Be very afraid

To the magic community, Marvins Magic, is pretty shabby. I personally hate the brand, although marvin berglas is quite coool.

The stuff that you get from MM is extremely easy to do, and misleads people into thinking that all magic is easy.

I can garunte that a magician complaining about an effect, because it is difficult, or requires practice, started out with Marvins Magic.

i've met marvin once along with marc paul for an interview for a job within a certain company, both seemed pleasant but marc paul is truly a gent. i had to do a few tricks for them which must of seemed poo to what they can do. at the time i wasn't any good. was learning marvins stuff but the chance to meet them was great. i would love to meet paul zenon, i think he is class

Erm i agree with the marvins stuff bit simple, but there stripper decks and svengali decks, are better than everybody elses i brought a stripper deck from marvin magic they were great then it got lost so i brought one from Nums and Nums arent to blame but the quality of the deck was (not good), you could tell that they were (gaffed).

(Some text edited by Mods)

international magic has a stripper deck which is printed like that so it is not hand made therefor it is very good quality and undetectable.

Bet you never thought you'd be disappointed not to get socks and hankies!

I take it my comment on zenon got deleted then
