Magician's Challenge

From BoardGameGeek

Magician's Challenge is a card game where "you don't take tricks, you PERFORM them!" Each player holds a hand of magic props cards; six different types of props, including birds, balls, rabbits, rings, ropes, and wands. Each card has a point value of 1-6. Collect sets of props to "perform" 9 different Tricks. For example, playing your Rabbit Props to get points for the Rabbit Trick. Players take the role of one of six magicians, each having special powers to make one of the prop types wild. So, the magician, Wanda Wands, may use her wild Wands Props to add points to her Rabbit Trick. Magician's are sneaky and may play SNEAKY cards to gain minor advantages over their opponents, such as pick pocketing Props cards from another magician's hand. Perform each trick once and add up the scores to see who will win Magician's Challenge.
