Magic…With A Green Twist
My kids are fascinated with magic. I especially love it when they try to make up their own magic tricks. These usually involve them making a small object “disappear” by forcing me to close my eyes while they hide it behind their backs.
They haven’t quite comprehended the art of sleight-of-hand yet, but it’s funny to watch them try to figure it out.
Imagiplay has taken the traditional magic set for kids and they’ve put an eco-twist on it.
Endorsed by the “famous green magician,” aptly named Steve Trash, the Green Magic Set offers up 3 eco-based tricks that kids can do themselves.
There’s the Green Energy Cube, which boasts that magicians can “read someone’s energetic mind.” There’s the Pollution Paddle, where youngsters can make a toothpick jump from one hole in the pollution paddle to the other. And finally, Eco-Wands, where kids can magically grow a string, shorten it, then grow it again.
What? No pulling compost out of a hat? What about finding an organic vegetable in someone’s ear? They could have taken this concept so much farther than they did!
The Imagiplay website does include videos of Steve Trash performing all the tricks, which is kind of a nice reference for kids.
The Green Magic Set is designed for kids ages 8 and up and costs $29.99 at Imagiplay.
