Which trick should i get next "Lights from anywhere" or "spooky magic" both produced by Marvin's magic. Please help either an opinion or a review on either of the 2 or both.

Thanx for reading, comment me for more details.

If you ask me, Marvin's Magic is a great way for a young child to get interested in magic. They are very kiddish tricks in my opinion.

In my opinion I don't think you should get either. Apparently 'Lights from Anywhere' is similar to D'lites and to be honest D'lites look a lot more professional. I haven't got D'lites but all the reviews seem good, also they come in different colours. :D

Hope you found this slightly useful.

EDIT:
If you want to buy some D'lites they're pretty cheap at:

Also D'lites are cheaper than lights from anywhere as well. Just checked out them on the Marvin's Magic site.

D'lites also come in junior size (if you have small hands like me) here is a link:

Buy a pair not single though, as the effects are much better.

Of course it's all up to you this is just my CUPS kicking in... :?

There are more powerful pieces of magic that you could spend your money on, particulalry if you were to buy a book.

Take a look through the reviews section and see what interests you.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!

Marvin's Lights from Anywhere are made under licence from Rocco's D'Lites so are very similar. In practice they look the same because, if you do it right, you don't see the workings - or shouldn't!
