PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Black tailcoat with classic split-back tails
- Black wool-look top hat (structured, holds shape)
- 2-piece set — shirt and trousers NOT included
This Kids Magician Costume turns Book Week morning into a quick win. A proper black tailcoat with the split-back tails (not a costume jacket with a printed-on tail) plus a structured classic top hat — that's the magician silhouette every kid recognises from a magic show or the Cat in the Hat. Slips straight over a white school shirt and dark trousers your child already has.
The tailcoat is comfortable poly-fabric, single-button front, easy on/off. The top hat is firm enough to hold shape through a school day without flopping. Pair it with a magic wand and you're done — no sewing, no Pinterest rabbit holes the night before.
Perfect For
Book Week & Literature Days: Reads as a magician / Cat in the Hat / Mr. Magoo / circus ringmaster character. Strong pick for Roald Dahl-themed weeks or any "tricks and illusions" book character parade.
School Talent Shows & Magic-Themed Class Projects: The instant magician look for a class talent-show act or a school-play magician role.
Birthday Parties & Themed Dress-Up: Magic-themed birthday parties, Halloween (vampire-magician crossover), or end-of-year concert circus skits.
How to Wear It
Pair with the white school shirt and dark trousers your child already owns. A black bow tie or small cape adds even more drama. A toy magic wand (or even a chopstick wrapped in black tape with white ends) completes the look.
Parent FAQs
What size should I order?
Sizes run to typical Australian kids age ranges. Tailcoat is cut roomy so layering a thin tee underneath is easy — size up for next year if borderline.
Does it include the shirt and pants?
No — tailcoat + top hat only. Use a plain white school shirt and dark trousers from the wardrobe.
How do I wash it?
Cold gentle machine wash the tailcoat, spot-clean the top hat (don't submerge it — the structure will lose shape).
Is it suitable for Book Week?
Yes — magician characters appear in many classic books, plus it doubles for Cat in the Hat and circus-themed weeks.
Care: Cold wash tailcoat, spot-clean hat, line dry.
