Product Description
Magic Reusable Blackout is a temporary window blackout, for keeping out light enabling a better night's sleep. Magic Blackout uses static to stick to most hard surfaces. No need for tac or glue, Magic Blackout leaves no marks on glass and easily peels off to be reused again. As well as blocking out light, Magic Blackout will also reduce heat and help keep rooms cooler. The material should last for over a month, but it may crease in hot conditions and naturally loses its static charge over time, particularly if you remove and re-position sheets a number of times. The sheets can be recharged. This versatile Magic Blackout has a number of uses, it is ideal for children's nurseries, night shift workers, new homes that don't yet have curtains, caravans and mobile homes, motorboats and yachts. They are also great for when you have overnight visitors, or for holidays and when you are travelling, enabling a restful night's sleep when you are on the move. Magic Blackout can also be used with projectors and interactive whiteboards.

The need for a dark room to sleep in drove me to this product. Blackout curtains leak light around the sides and floor, while sticky dark window films leave nasty residues if you have to remove them - and can't be replaced if you temporarily need light.
Having spotted this stuff as a spin-off from a TV "Dragon's Den" invention, I gave it a go and am now on my second purchase. There was nothing wrong with the first - it stuck to the windows just fine for a whole year... but I learned a lot first time round and wanted a second chance to get it right.
As other readers say, there are problems. First, it really does NOT like shaping itself to the window's edge. It won't stick to curved frames, but if you can't overlap the frames, you don't get total blackout as light leaks around the gaps. You have to cut the product very wide and hope it'll stick.
Second, it won't stick if you open a window and the wind gets under the sheet's edge. For both problems, I've found either a stick of "Post It Note Glue" (like a Pritt stick, but with "Post It Note" glue not permanent stuff) or masking tape is needed to secure the edges.
Third, the perforations on the roll of blackouts leak light if you need more than one sheet per window. You have to cover these perforation rows with more blackout to get the proper effect.
Fourth, small pieces of material don't stick at all. Anything less than around 20cm square, I found. Again glue / tape is the answer.
Expensive, and not the miracle it promises to be, but so far the best solution I can come up with.

I bought this as we live in MOD housing and didn't want to be drilling holes in walls, etc.! I had already bought blackout curtains for my baby's room but they were next to useless!
These blinds though are fantastic! They are so easy to cut to size and immediately clung to the glass without problem. Together with the curtains my baby's room is now pitch black.
I've had them up for 3 weeks and there's no sign of them coming away from the glass. I leave them up so that probably helps. They don't look bad from the outside either which surprised me.
I would definitely recommend these, they are a brilliant product - great idea!

These sheets are fiddly, time consuming and lose their static so quickly. Ours didnt even last 3 days. For the time it takes just buy a blind. What a useless product!!

Good at blackout - not so good at sticking
I agree with another review I read saying that it's excellent on the actual blackout front but it's not quite up to scratch on the sticking bit, esp if you need to cut it to the... Read more

Window Cracker
This product does black out the bedroom allright, but it also causes the window to crack. It is a new window, so it would not crack from previous damage as it says in the product... Read more
