Jamie Raven Street Magic from Paul Lamond Games is one of a set of four easy to follow magic kits by Jamie Raven, one of the UK’s top magicians. The sets aimed at anyone from the age of 8+ are Street Magic, Sleight of Hand, Card Magic and Magic of the Mind. Each set comes with every prop and accessory needed to carry out the tricks and you get a special online link to videos where Jamie demonstrates each trick simply and clearly.
Containing seven fun tricks that use everyday items, hence the name ‘Street Magic’, you can recreate these anywhere using items as you find them, although all items are included to get you started.
Tricks in the Jamie Raven Street Magic set include:
- The Jumping Rubber Band
- The Vanishing and Reappearing Coin
- Currency destruction
- Linking Paperclips
- The Vanishing Hanky
- The Floating Paper Cup
- Vanishing Rubber Band
All the included accessories are perfect for performing the magic but what I really liked about the set is that the instructions are in the form of online videos which you get a special link to. Here you see Jamie demonstrate the trick perfectly and then a slowed down version giving you clear instructions as to how to do the trick and make it look realistic to the audience. My 9yr old daughter particularly enjoyed watching the videos to help her learn the magic.
We found the tricks really fun to learn and it’s just a case of practice to perfect your skill to really fool people. This is a great little set and much better than other magic sets we’ve tried in the past.

I’m pleased with this Jamie Raven Street Magic set, the online instructions are really clear and simple and the set doesn’t try to cram too much in. A few great tricks makes a good showcase of magic to show to friends and family.
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
The set comprises of:
I like the way the set is designed for a family with a combination of adult and child mallets and the same with the ball sizes which are again solid wood. Everything is beautifully made so you really are paying for what you get with this set retailing at £99.99.
The children thoroughly enjoyed playing croquet even if we did play to our own rules, but we kept it simple and fun and it was a big hit with everyone. This is definitely a family game and really brings about a bit of competitiveness that everyone can enjoy.
The quality of the set comes through when you are playing and it feels good to play with, it’s all very sturdy, looks nice and everything is a good size.
