This is a pretty cool kit. Kids will learn the science behind 10 clever magic tricks. You’ve got a prism, some optical illusion cards, dominoes, and of course a magic wand. And I love the Ein-O science guides; they are truly first rate. This one is no different and explains the tricks you learn in easy-to-understand language. I’d say this kit would be pretty good for ages 8-10, but a bright 7 year old would benefit as well. You can’t find these kits at just any toy store, but there are several great stores for educational toys online.

My favorite store for science toys is Atomic Elephant Toy and you can get the Ein-O Magical Mystery Box of Science from them for about $18 U.S.
