This kit was a hit with my child, he loves anything origami and one of the first things he made was the rabbit. Now he teaches others how to make the items from this kit. Much better than having the kids sit and watch t.v. or video games; short of reading, this is something I like for them to practice with and they also enjoy doing it.
Wasn't sure how to rate this, as it wasn't for me and I didn't have a chance to see it in use. I have an origami book by Steve Biddle which I enjoy using, so I know I like his stuff. I looked inside before gifting this and it looked like fun. I didn't watch the DVD so can't rate that, but I always think a DVD with an origami book or kit is a plus. So, I didn't give it 5 stars because I didn't actually use it. Will say that it arrived in excellent time and in excellent shape.
A bit of a mixed bag. The diagrams are good and it's always a plus to have a dvd back up, in case, you get stuck.The picture on the cover leads one to believe this is a book of origami magic tricks, which is a bit misleading. It's morethe 'magic' of paperfolding. "With origami magic, the presentation is key....try it out in private several times, before attempting your performance."This book is, in my opinion, for either mildly experienced folders or seventh grade and up. On the minusside, there are projects which require cutting, different sized papers(not origami squares) and one project requires tape and48 pieces of paper(there's only 60 sheets included in the kit...so there's not enough papers to do all the projects). Many of these folds have appeared in other books, but this is a good collection for those interested in a well directed origami'tricky' folds.
I was disappointed with this offering. The pros are that the diagrams are easy to follow, and if one can't, there's a dvd demonstration. The kit also has nice origami paper. For me, though, too many of the projects were neither interesting nor what I think of as origami. Very little magic. Too many more like cut and paste craft projects than origami.
As a magician I love this Magic Kit Book. The puzzles in this book are familiar to me for a long time, but it is an excellent collection of puzzles for all interested puzzle and magician peoples, I hope so...
