Combining simple magic tricks with the DS is a great idea and young kids will get a real thrill out of performing in front of their friends.

Master of Illusion won’t replace SingStar or Buzz! as the number one family game, and its scope is limited. Still, it’s a curious piece of entertainment that teaches us some interesting card tricks.

That being said, it's fun to bewilder your friends with magic tricks and the tricks are easy to learn too. But the software can't be fully enjoyed without an audience to perform in front of.
here is the bottom line. Master of Illusion is a magic kit for the DS, not a game. It's a great way to entertain your friends but never reveal the secrets behind the illusions.… Expand
