The goal of this set is to blend two creative arts together for an enriching, entertaining and educational experience.

Fans of LEGO brick-building will be introduced to the art of magic as they embark on a journey into the colourful world of conjuring & prestidigitation in the " History of Magic Museum ".

The " History of Magic Museum " is a historically accurate magic-themed three-storey building that highlights some of the greatest illusions and magicians in the history of magic.

It is highly detailed with numerous LEGO replicas of authentic magic & illusion props used by illusionists from the past to present day.

There are more than half a dozen play features and removable brick-built illusion displays.

There are three levels to the museum and each is filled with special magic memorabilia such as The close-up magic wall that features a portrait of " The Professor " Dai Vernon and various close-up magic props such as cards, silver coins, a set of copper cups & balls and his " Master Fellowship " award from the Academy of Magical Arts( 1968). There are also three mini illusions including the Zig-Zag, Sword Suspension and Sawing Through A Woman.
