I work with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students and my kids loved it. They were so impressed they spent the next several days performing for the other teachers in the building.

Sucked the whole family in

My kids tried again and again to figure it out. My husband took a few times of watching it before he got it. I can't wait to use it in my class and at Back to School Night

Makes you feel like a real magician

I used this in a lesson for teen fall retreat and amazed the students. It was well worth the money.
