About Chop Magic

As Seen on TV food “choppers” have been a staple of television advertising for years.

The latest entrant into the As Seem pm TV food chopping arena is Magic Chop, fronted by Billy Mays disciple Marc Gill.

The official website is buychopmagic.com, which was registered on May 21, 2013.

Our Chop Magic Review

Because Chop Magic is not available in stores, we ordered it online and it took nearly 6 weeks to arrive.

Our initial impression merely from the advertising is that it looked to be made of inexpensive plastic, and we were right. The plastic is not of high quality, and the blades – while seemingly sharp upon first inspection – feel flimsy and cheaply made. Size-wise, it is about what we expected.

We found that Chop Magic can perform some easier chopping tasks effectively, but it isn’t always the cinch that the advertising shows. A certain amount of force must be used to complete the cutting process, and chopping some items requires a significant amount of force. Potatoes, in particular, were almost impossible to chop with this product.

Ordering
The first negative item we noted was in ordering the product via the website. There is no subtotal given after you fill in your credit card details, and it isn’t even clear if you’re ordering just one Chop Magic, or if they automatically setting you up with the buy one, get one for extra shipping.

Some of our commenters below felt they were billed even more than they expected, likely due to the confusing ordering process.

If you want to order a Chop Magic online, be prepared to be charged $35.85 for two, as there is no way to just order one. The order page only lets you select in groups of buy one/get one, as they state:

“How many buy one, get one free Chop Magic™ chopper sets would you like to order?”

Some consumers may find this marketing tactic to be deceptive, as they advertise Chop Magic for $19.95, but provide no way to order just one.
