My Take:
Many years ago, I used to do the office supply shopping for my company at a place called BJ's. One day (around Christmas time), I happened to notice a nicely packaged magic set and it was marked ten dollars. Like a lot of us, I had owned magic sets before and almost without exception they were a disappointment. No matter who released them, it was pretty much the same old tired tricks. But you could tell this new magic kit was something special just looking at the cover. The tricks pictured were on a whole new level. The maker was Fantasma. For the next few years, they came out with a new set every year all with quality magic items, probably $100 worth all for ten bucks. Bought them all.
One thing I remember about the old sets is the packaging. There was always a plastic tray inside with depressions to hold the various items. However, they didn't seem to want to stay where they belonged. When you opened the box the next time, everything was scattered around. The Fantasma set includes a clear plastic cover that holds everything just where it should be. This should help make the kits stay in great condition for much longer.
This new line from Fantasma shows a lot of thought went into the set. The Marvel Universe has gotten insanely popular. It seems like about one out of every two movies released is based on a Marvel character with Spiderman right at the top of the list so this is a smart marketing move by the company. The props are gorgeous and made of quality plastic and the graphics are outstanding. Besides buying this set for a grandchild, I am sure many magicians is going to want this on their magic shelf. In fact, I predict the many of them will buy two set,s one to play with and one to keep pristine as a collector's item.
One of the things you get that really impressed me was the Spiderman marked deck. For one thing, anyone who suspects a marked deck will not consider that an option for a deck that is so obviously a tie in. They look nothing like your standard Bicycle decks. Every card has a colorful Marvel graphic. And two gaff cards are included. A blank face and a double-backer.
A couple of classic effects are included. They come in most every magic kit but the Marvel graphics adds to it. The Bottle and Rope Suspension (Genii Vase) and Crazy Cube. Both simple. Both foolers.
You definitely get your $40.00 worth in this set. The Spidey Phase Through is reminiscent of a Tenyo item. Your instruction book is gaffed to allow a simple book test using any book and my favorite, a small comic book that lets you force a Marvel character using a method from Burling Hull.
All in all, this is a good set at a good price. Whether you are buying it for a young relative or just for yourself, you will not find disappointment here. And as an IBM member, the fact that the organization has endorsed this is all I need to know the quality. Roger Dreyer, you and your Fantasma team have hit another one out of the ballpark. Kudos!
Highly recommended,
