Thank you for your in-depth review. You're a true pillar of this community.

Been waiting for this review🔥!!! Amazing ❤

Soo Psyched to get mine this Thursday 🤞🏼, Keep up the great work David, by far the best magic reviewer on YT 👍🏼

Love the review. Was waiting before I purchased this for a teenager student I have. Thank you!!!!! Love the member section.

David, I saw your review on Ellusionist yesterday. Pretty cool set with objects that even the Shin Lim magic kit doesn't have!

Hi David, what a phenomenal review! It is thorough, thoughtful and informative! Thank you for all you do!

my box came today, I am so excited about it. I know how to do most of the tricks already, but now I get to learn a few others and maybe get a few more or new ideas on those and the few new ones to me.

Sounds better than I was expecting..! Can’t wait to receive it in the mail… Thanks 🙏😃

Wow thx for all the videos!

Great review. The kit looks awesome!

I remember my firstly real magic book was Bobo's book.& i noticed from age 17 to now 51 it really has grown with me. Every year I was able to find/understand something that I once thought was unattainable for me all of a sudden was within my reach. Put Bobo book in the box.

This kit would have made me progress much faster when I was a beginner Long after the price is forgotten the quality remains. Go for it, this kit rocks! Long life to Magic Orthodoxy 🇫🇷.

So I already purchased the Ellusionist.. "How To Be A Magician", and "How To Read Minds" kits. Now there is this one which I am strongly considering as well as I also see there is a "How To Read Minds 2" kit launching soon.

I loved the How to read minds box set so this seems to be a good thing as well

This looks like a great value! Pretty cool stuff! Looks like great quaility.

another great kit from Ellusionist … expect mine to arrive today …. (They should explain how to access the tutorials (like you did) … I had no clue when I got their first kit release) Thanks for the review David 👍👍

Awesome review looks like a great magic set👍😊👍😊😊👍

That kit is way cool!

I bought this kit - My favorite part is the invisible deck - I am a beginner and the instruction was fantastic - the filming was great and I learned a lot of information from the videos that gave me insight on how to do better in my magic perfomances. I am a High-School teacher with no interest in going pro, but I love magic as a hobby and want to do it right. I was not a fan of the coins as several had poor/uneven weathering effects (I had bought a set of the regular pirate coins to have as practice coins - they were all evenly. stained.) The decks used are Cartmundi Cohorts out of Belgium - so are commonly used in Europe I believe. I have several Bicycle invisible decks I have gotten - either through a Tannen's Mystery box or from Penguin. I have to say that the Ellusionist deck is the smoothest working Invisible deck I have used. I have bought several of the Cartmundi decks from Ellusionist and I prefer the feel of them to the standard Bicycle deck.

I think they've probably got it about right for the market it's pitched at. Thanks David.

I’ve also heard that there’s going to be a “How to read minds “ box 2 coming soon

Looking at the theme of close up walk around type magic it would be interesting to see another utility like a watch or wallet. That being said I think they made it well rounded as is. Something that I enjoy and dislike about the other magic kits is that some of the props are heavy hitters for performance based shows if not at quality so kids now have a pile of novelty props and a pile of props that if they actually learned them would instantly need to go buy a real set. This kit is ready to go amd that makes it a win amd including the unique coins. Thank you for the review!!

I was really happy with this set. I love the acaan routines. The only thing I would have changed was having more structure to the videos. There wasn't really a welcome to the kit video or a start here video. So I found myself just watching stuff randomly.

Interesting tricks! In the future they should put the performances as first on their drive. Wonder what other tricks they can come up with.

Just got my order, and I got totally different decks in the box. The invisible deck is bicycle, and I think the force deck is also a red bicycle instead of blue Cohorts, not sure yet as its sealed and not marked/noted. If the placement is the same it should be.... I'm sure this wont be confusing to a newcomer at all if all the videos reference the different color decks~

Excelente review, una pena que no lo pueda adquirir e mi pais!!

Hi David, great review, very thorough. Thank you so much. I love the how to be a magician set I bought. Found some things in there I use to this day. This was a long review and my attention deficit sometimes makes me miss certain things. When it comes to the gaff coins, do they match the pirate, coin or if not what denominations are they? I would love a full set of gaffed purse coins. Or I actually like their Cosa Nostra coin better. I honestly think the personalized instruction would be worth the cost of the kit even if nothing was included. I remember the days of buying box sets of DVDs for 120 or $150.

I think a thumb tip should be included in every magic kit I also believe that a thumb tip should cost $100! There are so many things that can be done with that people just don't understand we're talking about close up miracles, mentalism hypnotism and so many more

I just got Magic 101 by theory11, but have yet to dive into what it actually contains. Would you know if this Ellusionist kit contains many similar beginner tricks? Would it be worth picking up both?

That’s a pretty good magician’s kit! I don’t need it and I still want it! Lol

This is a great kit to buy for your kid then end up keeping for yourself. 😄

I hope the kit is better then the bait & switch they pulled with the Lava card addon (just got my KS order today) I’m really not impressed with them right now

I'm sorry, but my face looks bad enough without it being melted. I do love James Brown though! That Living In America song was awesome!

I really hope Peter brings the goods with HTRM 2 :(

Can you pls do flight by vortex magic and Michael afshin ty

Cool

Do you get the pot of jam in the kit?

How do you download the tricks tutorial to your phone ??

"I would have paid a million dollars for those card secrets." -Frank Garcia. "Shutta up you Frank. You never had no stinking million dollars." -Tony Slydini. (From Steve Beam's Semi-Automatic Card Tricks, Volume 4).🤣

I'm sure you'll get your money's worth for the tutorials alone but I get turned off by the odd brand cards, (Why not Bicycle?), the weird coins, (Why not half dollars?). Still, it looks class for someone learning real magic.

Im not crazy about the box and marketing art :/ I feel it should be more blacks and reds :)

Id suggest the box of powers from penguin over this for the price. If this was $60 it would make more sense. The pirate coins are a waste of money imo they scream magic props.

so happy I didn't buy it .... the routines are probably the only thing I would buy BUT this is so over priced thank you this is kind of click bait from E I hate when brad gives these projects the green light

what really annoys me about these kits is that the go through kickstarter. Sorry but that is sooo unnecesarry, because of course they will be founded and you can only pay with a credit card which I do not have. So if i wanted to back those project up i would need to invest much more moeny since i would also need to pay for the credit card. Thats not cool at all

Ellusionist lost the respect of the magic community after the back to black campaign so it only makes sense now they are marketing to newbies. They have to as they've burned too many bridges. Still no reason this was a kickstarter though other than to advertise it.

Sad to see another kit made of beginners and not professionals. This is not a professional kit. Props may be better quality for kids, but this is not a pro kit.

I just today received a notification for Ellusionists kickstarter of How To Read Minds 2. I’m considering buying that, along with HTRM1 as an add-on. Do you recommend?

So I just got mine in the mail and mine came with a standard Wal-Mart red Bicycle Deck "Not Marked", Bicycle Invisible Deck, and Cohort one way force deck. I was expecting all Cohorts because now I can't switch out my one way force deck because they don't match. My other complaint is the quality and feel of the vanishing headphones. I love the idea and the concept but anyone that has seen or felt real Airpods will know immediately that they are fake. They are significantly lighter and feel very cheep in my opinion. I am disappointed because I love Ellusionist products and own a few of there other magic kits.
