Well that sounds pretty dismal doesn't it? But Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magic Set is a refreshing departure from the standard kits everyone else is pedaling.
First the tricks are not cheap paper and plastic. They are crafted out of wood. The box they are packed in is also wood which will provide a sturdy display and place to pack away the tricks after a show. Next, these are NOT the same boring tricks that have been featured in kits since the 1940s. Even after having been a magician for many years, with a few runs as a professional, I haven't seen a couple of these methods before. None of them are difficult, and perhaps someone with a little critical thinking skill could figure them out... but these are toys meant to build critical thinking skills so that's not so important. Even so, watching an eight year old perform the tricks is quite entertaining.
There is a pamphlet included in this kit. There are roughly five pages of instructions, in a packet brochure sealed with a paper sticker labeled "Secrets Inside." Each trick is titled, has a very brief description of the effect followed by a more detailed instruction. Each explanation is also accompanied by line drawing illustrations.
One thing that stood out was the change bag. It is a bit smaller than a professional change bag, but the whole kit costs less than a professional change bag. It is the perfect size for a child and will introduce the child to a staple of magic. In the community of magicians, a change bag is almost the ultimate utility. Many professionally available routines will casually dismiss critical parts of their routines by simply saying "... with a change bag ... " Make things disappear, make things change into other things, make things appear, make things change colors. Once a child understand the secret of the change back their imagination can go wild.
Sadly, the one I got with my kit was bent a little and doesn't work smoothly. I have tried to straighten it out but haven't quite got it working as it should. UPDATE: I called Doug & Melissa customer service and let them know. They sent me a new change bag. This one works more easily than the professional one I have for my own tricks. Customer service was friendly and responsive. The replacement arrived quickly. (11/17/2014)
The other tricks each focus on a concept that is easy to understand. I know Melissa & Doug are well known for educational toys,, even though this is my first product from them. It is easy to consider this set educational. It teaches critical thinking, presentation and magic.
I own dozens of magic tricks and thought I would never buy a magic set again.
Most magic sets contain cheap tricks made from paper and plastic and are more expensive. Furthermore, most contain tricks that I already own.
In this magic set, however, you get 10 high quality, wooden tricks for about $25 shipped to your door! Furthermore, 8 of these tricks were brand new tricks for me, so I now have an answer (at least for awhile) to the eternal question, "do you have anything new?" I am an amateur magician and can easily see myself performing all of these tricks and will start doing so tonight. Usually, half of the tricks that I receive through the mail never get used.
There's a nice range of tricks here in terms of the skill required. Most of these tricks should doable (in some cases, with a little effort) by school age children. And several seem easy enough for pre-schoolers to enjoy performing and get started.
I encourage you to look at some YouTube videos about this magic set before buying like I did. That should give you a good idea of what you're getting.
On a side note, I really enjoyed Melissa & Doug's Magic Flowering Pot and was quite upset when they stopped producing it. I'm guarding the one I have fiercely! I will probably purchase a few more of these magic sets in the near future in order to have spare parts.

Not a lot of tricks but enough to intrigue a seven year old.
Grandson and grandparent are very happy.
