This app is only free for the first week, then you have to pay for it. But it didn’t really tell me anything only the box came with directions and this app didn’t help at all. Don’t get this app this app could be better. ### 3/5 — It’s good *2026-01-29, version 3.6.5* More tricks please ### 1/5 — Terrible magic trick choice *2025-04-16, version 3.6.5* One star is being generous. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-03-20, version 3.6.5* Doestn even show you how to do the tricks ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2025-02-11, version 3.6.5* It wonk work DONT GET APP ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2025-02-07, version 3.6.5* Such a shame that this app doesn’t work. Tried to reach out to their customer service and have been completely ignored. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2024-09-14, version 3.6.5* Man scannt den QR code für die Anleitung aber es passiert nichts! ### 1/5 — App does not work *2024-09-13, version 3.6.5* Tried to scan QR code and nothing happens ### 4/5 — It is quite good *2024-08-25, version 3.6.5* Our Augmented Reality does not work and is very disappointing. Otherwise it is pretty impressive. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-06-21, version 3.6.5* I tried to get this app to work but it just won’t like for the augmented reality the phone just vibrates or the fly trick it also just vibrates. ### 1/5 — Fly section error *2024-06-15, version 3.6.5* Every time I finish the ice part, the game glitches and opens to the Home Screen ### 1/5 — Mmm 🤔 *2024-05-03, version 3.6.5* Porque solo me enseña tres trucos en la caja de rubik’s? ### 3/5 — Good but *2024-04-12, version 3.6.5* This is a good app i used my sets with this but one small problem it says learn a magic trick every week but it’s been 4 weeks and it’s still the same magic trick ### 3/5 — Meh. *2024-04-06, version 3.6.5* It says it's an x ray but it does not even work!!! Fix.ASAP.😡 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-07-06, version 3.6.5* Terrible app. Doesn’t work. Videos never load and it sucks the entire fun out of it. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-19, version 3.6.5* This is so terrible like it wouldn’t even show me like half the tricks return if will you can ### 1/5 — You get one trick, then you have to pay *2026-06-13, version 3.6.5* Put a magic kit for my child to play with has a lot of tie ins with the app. Which apparently needs a subscription. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-25, version 3.6.5* The app does not work AT ALL. When you click on any of the red tricks, it just brings you to the camera section and you can’t do anything. The kit is great, but the app is a waste of memory. Also, did any of y’all notice that the creator is called “prank star ltd?” ### 1/5 — Fa schifo *2026-01-29, version 3.6.5* Fa schifo non va niente tranne il filmato. ### 1/5 — Camera won’t work. *2026-01-10, version 3.6.5* I’ve given the app access to my camera to scan the QR code for the videos but it won’t work! I’ve tried multiple times. Deleting and reinstalling the app! Rubbish! ### 1/5 — SO BAD *2025-12-28, version 3.6.5* I wanted a magic set for Christmas and Santa got it but it’s SO BAD!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Totally useless *2025-12-22, version 3.6.5* What a disappointment, 39£ for a useless magic box and a useless Apps. Run away !. ### 1/5 — Marvin’s best trick, taking your money and turning it into the world’s worst app *2025-11-19, version 3.6.5* I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you got conned. This app is so bad even the rabbits in the magic kit ran away when I downloaded it. The most impressive magic trick was how fast it made my patience disappear. The box of tricks seems fun but there are no instructions and unfortunately the instructions in this app are terrible. They really must have tried to make the app this bad because there is no other explanation. ### 1/5 — QR code doesn't works *2025-06-24, version 3.6.5* I bought the dynamic coins for my children but in the app the QR code wasn't working ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app ever!!! *2025-05-04, version 3.6.5* I am a magician and I myself tried it and I improved at magic a lot. I would definitely recommend magicians try this. ### 5/5 — Viel Arbeit in gute App investiert *2025-04-05, version 3.6.5* In diese App wurde viel Arbeit investiert und das merkt man auch, da sie sehr gut gestaltet ist und ebenso mit tollen Features ausgestattet ist ### 5/5 — Werkt niet *2024-12-03, version 3.6.5* 404 - page not found ### 5/5 — App *2024-11-24, version 3.6.5* I got the magic box a couple years ago and now it wants to to scan QR code for instructions can you make this optional please ### 5/5 — Gute App *2024-06-08, version 3.6.5* Die App funktioniert sehr gut ### 5/5 — funzionamento *2024-03-29, version 3.6.5* ha me la visione a raggi x funziona bene però non funziona alla magia interattiva non mi funziona quando li al video il mago ha la carta che gli ho impostato ha funzionato un anno ### 5/5 — Best *2023-12-28, version 3.6.5* I recommend to everyone. If you don’t get something check your book for instructions ### 5/5 — Es muy bueno *2023-11-20, version 3.6.5* Te ayuda a entender cuando no le entiendes al manual de Marvin’s magic por que yo tengo el cit ### 5/5 — Wonederful *2023-10-21, version 3.6.5* With the compatible magic set, this app will work to bewilder any audience! The one star reviews are very likely form people who don’t have the set. ### 5/5 — Granddaughter tricked us all A magic machine girl *2023-06-04, version 3.6.5* OK OUR GIRL EMMA JUST TRICKED US ALL I was like it’s not possible!! 🗿lies🗿 SHE CAN DO IT --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
