I was just wondering whether there is any magic shops in Sydney. I'm new to the scene so I'm not really sure what's out there.

My wife and I stumbled across Davenports Magic in London last year on our honeymoon and had never seen a shop like it before. Just curious to know if there is anything similar a bit closer to home that I could check out.

Thanks, Nathan

Hey Presto Magic Studio is the only magic shop in Sydney now, details at their website:

Thanks Aus, I'll have to check out Hey Presto next time I'm in the city. Shame there is only one left in Sydney.

I can vouch for Taylors.

Sean and Dianna have looked after me very well and even though they no longer have a bricks-and-motar presence I am comfortable enough in my prior customer experience to let that fly.

I will have a longer stay in Sydney next year. I will definitely visit Hey Presto Magic. Thanks for the information

Thanks guys, I will have a look at both of them.

I can't recommend Hey Presto enough.

I was there, for the first time, about a week ago. The clerk - whose name I didn't catch - was really helpful; I was able to talk openly about an effect that I'm working on (an original(?) variation of Cardtoon), and I received a lot of great advice from the guy ... he also put on a quick display of card and ring magic for me.

I was only in there for about 30 minutes or so (due mostly to the fact that the only parking I could find at the time was an over-priced parking garage lol) but if I didn't have that expense hanging over my head, I could have easily stayed longer.

Prior to that visit, I had previously ordered from their online catalogue - really quick delivery - I live west of the Blue Mountains, so in order to receive my package when I did, that must have meant that they had mailed it out by first post (that or Australia Post was just super efficient that week lol - but I'd rather give Hey Presto the credit heh)

A question regarding Hey Presto Magic Sydney, If someone would be so kind to answer for me. Has it recently changed hands,It SEEMS it has? and does Gary still have anything to do with the business?
